00:00 Hello there. Now this is the place where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was

00:04 canvassing for the upcoming assembly elections that is slated on November the 25th and this

00:12 whole place known as Badi Chopar. What a place it is and look at all the flags that have been put up

00:18 by the BJP also obviously for canvassing and making the last ditch effort as the

00:28 canvassing and campaigning would come to an end on 23rd of November at 5 pm. Prime Minister

00:35 Narendra Modi was here and so was my colleague Kuldeep from One India. Kuldeep, you were here

00:40 when the Prime Minister's roadshow was taking place and you went from here to the end in an L-shape.

00:46 Tell us about this place. Why did BJP choose this place first of all? Secondly, I believe

00:52 Hava Mahal is also somewhere nearby. Yes, Hava Mahal is about 100 meters away and it is the

00:58 metro station of Badi Chopar. The importance of the Prime Minister's visit here is that the

01:04 seats of the village headman of Jaipur and nearby villages are about 19 seats and Congress is

01:10 occupying these seats and the state secretary of Congress, Amir, who is the famous fort here,

01:16 is also from Jaipur. Apart from this, many other ministers from here, like Khachri Vas,

01:22 and other two of their deputies are also fighting from Jaipur. Diya Kumari and Rajvardhan.

01:32 So, this is important because there are 19 seats here and just like they elected Indore in MP,

01:39 they have two days of election campaign left. Before that, to give a big message,

01:46 Prime Minister Narendra Modi has chosen this place. And before that, he went to two famous

01:51 temples here and bowed his head. Before that, he hosted rallies and after that,

01:56 he has shown here in the evening. Absolutely. You know, we have seen many a times that Prime

02:02 Minister's mingling with the masses is obviously in the media glare, first of all. Secondly, it's

02:07 also a very huge security, you know, arrangement has to be put in. And if you look at these

02:13 barriers also, very tacitly being woven, intertwined and put up. Traffic Police Jaipur,

02:20 these are the stoppers that have been made. And needless to say, this kesariya, orange coloured

02:27 cloth, not just dotting the roads, but also if you look at the balloons, they are also

02:32 in orange colour. Needless to say, this is the heart of Jaipur, the old city feel, you know,

02:40 that you could get here. The place where we are standing as of now is also a short while from now

02:45 here. There were camera persons who were making the beeline and covering the whole event that

02:52 unfolded. Prime Minister Modi's cavalcade atop an open vehicle. Prime Minister Modi acknowledged

02:59 the people and also spoke, interacted with them later on. So this is something that is pretty

03:05 trademark when it comes to the BJP. Needless to say, Kuldeep, BJP is putting its best foot forward

03:12 for Prime Minister to come here, obviously very close to Delhi though. But how do you perceive

03:17 the situation of the BJP in Rajasthan specifically?

03:22 The seven guarantees, apart from that, the Sanjivani, which has an insurance, and people

03:30 have been treated in such large numbers here, that has a huge impact here. And the BJP knows

03:36 this, that the way they have given guarantees in Karnataka and other elections, and there

03:41 they have succeeded. OPS has a big issue. We have seen in Himachal, apart from this, we

03:48 have seen in Karnataka, so here too, among the government officials, this is a big issue.

03:54 And that is why, in Jaipur, they have done more than an hour's time and a roadshow of

04:00 about 4 km, before this they were active. And in this condition, when there are elections

04:08 in five states, the situation in MP is a little down. But at any cost, the Prime Minister

04:15 wants to be in Rajasthan once, and a big advantage of this is that it is close to Delhi, and

04:22 that is why he wants to focus on it completely, because there has been a five-year turnover

04:27 here, and he wants that Congress does not repeat in any way this time, because the trend that

04:32 has been made, once again, the BJP of Congress wants to keep it made.

04:36 Absolutely, Kuldeep is bang on here when he speaks about Rajasthan. One thing is peculiar

04:41 about this state is that they change the government every five years, and this time around, if

04:45 you go by the law of averages or something, Congress is in power, most of the political

04:49 pundits are hedging their bets on the fact that BJP would come, but there are some political

04:54 pundits who are saying that BJP might have, might have just run short of ideas how to

04:59 counter this Ashok Gehlot factor here, because we spoke to other people also here, the locals

05:06 here, and they are particularly happy with a couple of things, which includes the medical

05:11 healthcare that is being given to the common people here, and also Sanjeevani that you

05:15 were talking about, and also the Karnataka factor that at times backfired on BJP, they

05:24 would try not to repeat it here. We will be bringing you the latest and also the updates

05:29 with related to the Rajasthan elections, Kuldeep and I would be crisscrossing this city for

05:34 the next two to three days, and then I guess next post is a Telangana for us.
