00:00Well, away from all the international news and the midterms in America, focus on domestic news in this bulletin.
00:08Well, our top story comes in from a political dare which was issued by the leader of opposition.
00:14One political dare by Rahul Gandhi has now triggered a big face-off between the BJP and the Congress.
00:20Rahul Gandhi has challenged the Prime Minister to an open debate on the India-US deal, the Adani issue and
00:26foreign connections.
00:27But the BJP has turned the challenge around, insisting that Parliament is the place for debate, not social media.
00:34The war of words comes amidst opposition's escalating confrontation with the BJP and CEC Gyanesh Kumar over vote-chory allegations.
00:49A debate dare, a political face-off and a fresh flashpoint in the Modi-Rahul war.
00:58The leader of opposition has thrown down the gauntlet, daring Prime Minister Narendra Modi to face him in a public
01:05debate.
01:27And taking the challenge to social media, Rahul has put out a poll asking young Indians if they want to
01:34see the two leaders,
01:37The challenge comes amidst opposition's escalating war against the BJP and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar with allegations of vote
01:46-chory demands for accountability and a public impeachment campaign against the CEC.
01:54But the BJP's response is to take the battle to Parliament.
01:59Union Ministers have questioned Rahul's enthusiasm for a social media debate, reminding him that Parliament is the forum where the
02:06leader of opposition can debate with the Prime Minister.
02:10If you are the leader of opposition, and you believe that you are the leader of opposition, then where will
02:16the debate be with the Pradhan Manantri Ji as you will be in the debate?
02:19Is it going to be in the streets? Or in the streets? Or in the streets? Or in the streets?
02:24Or in the streets?
02:25Or in the streets? Or in the streets? Or in the streets? Or in the streets? Or in the streets?
02:36Or in the streets? Or in the streets?
02:38Union Minister Nirmala Sitaraman has cited Amit Shah's offer of a special session on SIR and EVMs.
03:00The Congress has upped the ante and questioned BJP's assistance for an open debate.
03:27A dare has been thrown. A counter has been fired. But the real question is whether this political war,
03:35will move beyond social media posts and soundbites?
