00:03and development is the topmost on our manifesto.

00:06Now what do you mean by development? Please explain.

00:08One of the reasons why the heat wave is so severe

00:12is because of development.

00:13Will we ever count the casualties of development?

00:17Let me tell you a simple thing.

00:18No shade is left in our big cities

00:22because all the trees have been massacred

00:24in the name of development.

00:25Development is such a vague word, is it not?

00:29Development, Vikas.

00:30What exactly are you talking of?

00:32Come on, let's specify.

00:33What do you mean by development?

00:34What do you mean by growth?

00:36And how do you account for all the people who are dying?

00:39Because they can't find even a single tree to rest under.

00:42And can you imagine what has happened

00:44to the birds and the insects when there are no trees?

00:47Do we spare even a thought to them?

00:50But we don't want to talk about it.

00:52We say development, development and GDP, GDP.
