00:00It was 2021 when I contested from Velacheri, our honourable leader Rahul Gandhi had come to canvass votes for me.
00:10In that situation, the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee had released an advertisement where more than nine candidates' photos are there.
00:21But the election commission says that it is only my photo, it is only advertisement from my side,
00:27and they have put the whole expenses on me, which I have not done.
00:30It was done by Tamil Nadu Congress Committee, and there are nine candidates in it.
00:35And they can divide the expenses, which they are not doing, in my matter.
00:39But in the same time, Amit Shahji had come, where four candidates from BJP were standing in thousand lights.
00:45And it was divided between them.
00:47In my matter, they have this discrepancy, which I am actually, I told the election commission, even then they have
00:54disqualified me.
00:55I will go to the court and I will fight it.
00:57You want to face it legally?
00:59Yeah, we have to face it legally, yeah.
01:01Because there is a court verdict from the Honourable High Court Karnataka in Guinness Hote Paksha Rangaswamy case,
01:08stating that such decision should be taken within one year.
01:13And election commission has later added that in their compendium, in their guideline book.
01:17Even after adding it in my matter, after five years, they have taken a decision of disqualifying me, is actually
01:22purely political vendetta against me and my leader Rahul Gandhi.
01:27You particularly said that your name is Hassan Molana and Rahul Gandhi, you came for your campaign, someone of your
01:33candidates.
01:34Is there two reasons?
01:36What is this?
01:36After 35 years, Congress won in Chennai in that time.
01:41And I was the candidate and Rahul Ji had only canvassed in Chennai.
01:46Later, he has attended another program in Salem and after that he flew back.
01:51That was the two campaigns he made.
01:52And this campaign, what he did in Chennai, actually turned heads because he made a superb campaign where he never
01:59even prompted my name or any candidate's name.
02:02He just told what is happening and why should people vote for this Congress DMK alliance then.
02:09For that, the decision is totally now against me, which I have to fight.
02:13I think my Honourable leaders will stand support to me and I will win this case again from the courts.
02:21I have approached my Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President.
02:24I have come to meet him.
02:25The letter came to me yesterday.
02:27I have taken his appointment.
02:28I will tell him what is going to happen and I will take my party's support in this matter.
