00:00Okay, let's go to more breaking news of those live pictures.
00:03The high drama which over the Chief Election Commissioner Priyanka Gandhi Wadra
00:08has been taken to the Kingsway Camp police station.
00:11Priyanka Gandhi has also spoken to India today on her way there,
00:15to Moshmi Singh specifically, saying Gyanesh Kumar must resign.
00:18That demand remains unchanged.
00:20Congress workers are staging a protest outside the police station
00:24where Rahul Gandhi has also been kept,
00:26along with about over a dozen MPs there in Kingsway Camp at the moment.
00:33So, Moshmi Singh, who's been tracking that story,
00:37it's been a long day for you, Moshmi.
00:39You're there tracking Priyanka Gandhi.
00:42What is the Congress saying?
00:44They're going to continue with these protests?
00:46Or was this a one-day dharna?
00:48Are we going to see more of this come tomorrow?
00:50What happens next?
00:59Rajdeep, it's your question to me.
01:02I want to show you these visuals that are unfolding.
01:05This is Priyanka Gandhi in this bus.
01:08On the right, you will see Priyanka Gandhi sitting right there.
01:13We just spoke to her a short while ago.
01:16And we have reached the Kingsway Camp
01:19where Rahul Gandhi is already put inside a lot of mayhem here
01:23because Congress workers have, you know, sat on top of that bus
01:28and Congress workers have giraoed this entire bus.
01:31Priyanka Gandhi right there.
01:33You know, slogan we are in, continuously talking.
01:37And this is the time when, you know,
01:41KC Venu Gopal, Manikam Kegor, Neta split into two buses.
01:45Rahul Gandhi gone on a separate bus.
01:48There is Priyanka Gandhi in this bus.
01:50And all the Congress netas who are here,
01:53they seem to be quite adamant that Gyanesh Kumar must go.
01:58We spoke to KC Venu Gopal.
02:00Here, Raja warring right there,
02:01trying to clear the way for the bus.
02:03You look at that gate.
02:04That gate is just right there.
02:06There's no place to walk.
02:09And all the Congress workers standing between that gate and the bus.
02:14A pretty precarious situation right here.
02:16And that's the scene unfolding with the Congress's resistance over this entire row.
02:22Rajdeep, over to you.
02:23Now, you know, I can see that there are about a dozen MPs at least there in Kingsway camp.
02:30A few of the allies, but mainly a core group of Congress MPs there.
02:35Now, Rahul Gandhi had said earlier 300 MPs would be there.
02:39Where are the remaining Congress MPs?
02:42I mean, many of them, presumably, were not there at the Dharna side later.
02:47So, did they leave earlier?
02:53Right, Rajdeep, you know, many MPs were detained in the day.
02:56They sat in the buses and they were taken away and not even released.
03:02Few MPs who weren't detained were released earlier or managed to get off the bus.
03:07They are here.
03:08Other MPs were with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
03:12Priyanka Gandhi also managed to come back to Akashwani.
03:16And, yeah, you can see that she's peeping out of the window.
03:22She's been sloganeering Supriya Srinath right behind her.
03:26A dozen cameras right there.
03:28And, you know, the NETAs are trying to persuade the Congress workers to come down the bus so that their
03:34bus can move forward.
03:36So, that's the, you know, the split policy is what Delhi police adopted here.
03:42Trying to split the MPs, split Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in different buses.
03:47And that's how they managed to now get them to Kingsway camp.
03:52Over to you, Rajdeep.
03:53Okay, Moshpi Singh joining us there with all the very latest details.
03:58Remember, we expect that the MPs will be released later tonight.
