00:00News coming in, the latest tweet from BJP National President Nitin Nabeen,
00:04where he has said, and I'll quote,
00:06the opposition has once again been exposed for misleading the public on SIR.
00:11The Election Commission has made it very clear that every decision relating to SIR
00:15was taken unanimously by the full commission.
00:19Yet, Congress chose to build its allegations around a manufactured lie
00:23and attack our constitutional bodies.
00:26The hypocrisy is evident when the same electoral process delivers victories to the Congress
00:31and its allies, including in states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu,
00:36its credibility is readily accepted.
00:38But when the people's mandate goes against them elsewhere,
00:41they question the very institutions that conduct those elections.
00:45Democracy cannot be respected selectively.
00:48Wins and losses are an inherent part of democracy,
00:51but resorting to malicious propaganda to discredit respected constitutional institutions
00:57is deeply unfortunate.
01:00Those who have repeatedly undermined India's democratic framework
01:03for political survival owe the nation an honest reckoning and public apology.
01:11That's a strong word coming in from BJP National President,
01:15where remember BJP had released its statement quickly after what the Election Commission of India
01:22had said, making it very clear that the decision-making has been unanimous when it comes to SIR.
01:28And now BJP National President, Nitin Nabeen, releasing the statement where he has said that
01:35when it comes to the opposition, as long as they are winning,
01:38they will not question the credibility of any institution.
01:41But the moment they start losing, that is when they come out with these allegations.
01:46Let me take this to my colleague, Piyush Mishra, joining us on the phone now.
01:49A strong word coming in from Nitin Nabeen.
01:53Well, that's right. BJP's National President, Nitin Nabeen, is now coming out
01:58and slamming the Congress Party for politicizing this entire matter.
02:03Remember that early in the day there was a meeting which also happened
02:06between all the election commissioners.
02:09And soon after that meeting, now BJP is of the view that everything is crystal clear.
02:15Only politics was being done by the Congress Party.
02:19And we'll have to see how the Congress is going to react on this.
02:22But BJP National President is now coming out with a post where he says in the court,
02:27the opposition has once again been exposed for misleading the public on the SIR.
02:32The election commissioners made it very clear that every decision relating to the SIR
02:36was taken unanimously by the full commission.
02:38Yet Congress chose to build its allegations around a manufactured lie
02:42and attack our constitutional bodies.
02:44So that's what are the lines of which various visibility have also been taking.
02:48And now Nitin Nabeen is also seen slamming Congress after the kind of photos
02:53that have now come out.
02:55All right, Piyush. Many thanks for those details.
