00:00Congress managing to win one seat of the 28 MLC seats in the four states,
00:04giving the BJP fresh ammunition to mock the party over its boat theft allegations.
00:09BJP pointed out that these elections were held using ballot papers,
00:12questioning the Congress' performance then.
00:15Prime Minister Narendra Modi mocked the Congress, asking how many seats it had won.
00:19Union ministers joined the attack.
00:21Home Minister Amit Shah takes a swipe at Rahul Gandhi
00:23and says he should ask perhaps the ballot box then to resign.
00:28The Congress hit back, daring Modi to hold all the upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly polls using ballot papers.
00:35It's also reiterated its demands on the SIR and CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.
00:40Meanwhile, BJP workers protested in Varanasi,
00:44alleging irregularities in the vote counting after the Samajwadi party's victory
00:48and accusing the observer of facilitating malpractice.
01:23Congress zero-hate, Congress zero-hate, Congress kabhi hero benin nahi sakti,
01:28और राउल गांदी लीडर बनने के बाद हमारे सबसे बड़े brand ambassador ये राउल गांदी है.
01:34जितना ज्यादा वो नौटंगी करेंगे, जितना ज्यादा रस्ते पे बैटके तमाशा करेंगे,
01:40देश की जनता है, ये हमारे प्रधान मंत्री नरेद्र मुदी जी के ही साथ है.
01:54और जैसे इस चुनाओं में फिर एक बार दिखाए गया है कि देश की जनता ये नरेद्र मुदी जी के
02:00साथ में है.
02:00इसलिए मुझे लगता है अब राउल गांदी जी को पैक अप करके भारगाओ के किसी देश में जाना चीए.
02:05काशी ने तो साफ संदेश पूरी उत्तर प्रदेश को दे दिया है. पहले अयोध्या ने दिया, अब काशी विश्वनात ने
02:14दिया.
02:14बारतिय जनतापाटी का उत्रप्रदेश में जाना तय है और उसका उधारन है लोकसभा में आयुद्या और विधान सभा से पहले
02:24काशी।

03:10with more details and context to the MLC poll results
03:14that have come to the forefront now.
03:16Piyush, well, if we take a look at the results,
03:19I think both sides need to sit down
03:22and need to understand what's happened.
03:25Because even on the BJP's part,
03:27they've lost two crucial seats.
03:29One being the Nagpur seat,
03:30which is something that went back to the Congress,
03:33and the other being the seat in Varanasi.
03:36So they have to contemplate what went wrong there.
03:40And on the Congress's part,
03:41I think given that all the results came out
03:44and all of this is happening amid the protests
03:47that they've been holding against the CEC,
03:50against the Election Commission,
03:51complaining against the entire process of elections,
03:54this was a ballot system.
03:55And still it's given quite a different mandate
03:58with people showing their faith,
04:00mostly with the BJP itself.
04:02So I think they perhaps need to re-strategize
04:05and also understand what they are doing wrong
04:07and why is it that they can't instill faith in the people?
04:12Well, that's right.
04:13I like to rightly mention that, yes,
04:14it's for both the sides to sit back and introspect.
04:17Why?
04:18Because Varanasi is considered as a bastion of BJP.
04:22For the very long time,
04:24we have seen BJP has been in power there.
04:26And when, after Ayodhya,
04:28we are seeing how another setback can be seen
04:31in Varanasi where BJP has lost MLC seats,
04:35no doubt that BJP will introspect on this.
04:38On the other side,
04:40we are also witnessing how Congress has been able to win,
04:43has not been able to win even one seat,
04:46which is certainly casting aspersions over the performance
04:49and the kind of claims which Congress was making.
04:52Now Congress has lost,
04:53in the state of Karnataka where it has its government,
04:56also Congress has lost over the elections
05:00which have happened over using ballot paper.
05:04You would remember that Congress has been demanding
05:06that elections must happen using ballot paper.
05:09Despite not even able to win one seat,
05:12we are now seeing how Congress leaders coming out
05:15and saying that if that is the case,
05:18then why don't other elections,
05:20upcoming assembly elections of UP and Punjab
05:22and other states also happen using ballot paper.
05:26So we are now seeing how it's very important
05:29for both the sides to introspect.
05:31Congress has not been able to win even one seat
05:33and on that entire front,
05:35we are also witnessing how Abhin Marendra Modi
05:37is taking a jibe at Congress party.
05:40He also mentioned that all these elections happen
05:42using ballot paper
05:44and still Congress has not been able to win even one seat.
05:48Absolutely.
05:49They haven't been able to win one seat in Karnataka
05:52where they are holding the government.
05:53The only seat they have now finally come out to win
05:55is in Nagpur.
05:56And that's the only one victory that they can claim.
06:00So yes, it's a major introspection,
06:03time to introspect for them as well
06:04that it's a system that they've been demanding,
06:07the ballot system,
06:08and yet this is the result.
06:09Bhivsh, thank you for putting that into context
06:11for our viewers.
