[0:00]And ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by saying that it is a pleasure, a privilege and an absolute honor every election to bring the news to you. We are not a network that makes big claims. We are not a network where three anchors go to Bengal and say we have smelt the mood on the ground. Those are stupid claims. I'm not going to describe the people who make those claims. You can't land up in Bengal for two days, live in a five star hotel, take your mic out twice and claim to have smelt the mud in Bengal. That's rubbish. I'm not making any claims, but ladies and gentlemen, one thing I assure you tonight. That if there is one network which is the by far encyclopedic reach of every district in Bengal, and not during the election, but for the last five years and more. And why? Because we run the biggest news network in Bengal called Republic Bangla because we Republic Bangla as a team has exposed Sandeshkhali and has exposed RG Kar, has exposed the coal scam, has questioned Abhishek Banerjee's corruption. We are the channel that has fought Mamata Banerjee's corruption, her dictatorship. We've had police cases filed against us regularly. And ladies and gentlemen, my reporters have been arrested. So I would just like to begin by saying to that stupid Lutyens Cabal that is flown in for four days and claims to have understood the ground situation, you don't understand anything. Only Republic does, because we are reporting, we have 100 reporters on the ground in Bengal, not today, but for the last five years. So you can be sure you will get absolutely strong, detailed and accurate coverage here on Republic. And to that, and for that, I am grateful to my amazing colleagues in Republic Bangla, a network that the country is truly proud of. Now, having said that, I want to say something about the numbers. People are saying that why are the numbers like what they've turned out to be? Well, I don't know. I don't know. Don't ask me, but these are the numbers. And I would say one thing that Chanakya, which is there predicting 150 to 160 for BJP, giving them a clean win with a margin of 15 seats over the halfway mark is the same pollster who predicted 180 seats for the Trinamool Congress the last time. And though that even up ended up conservative, the Trinamool got much more than that. Today's Chanakya was the latest poll which has come out today. And that is predicting anywhere up to 203 seats. So somewhere around an average of 191, 182 is their halfway mark. Now, viewers, I've always believed that polls can give you a broad check. They may not be accurate. I see a broad trend here. The broad trend last time was for the Trinamool. Nobody said BJP is winning. One or two may have said, but the trend was for the Trinamool. This time the trend is for the BJP. Second thing is the kind of voting that has happened. 92.47% is the combined electoral participation in Bengal. This is an unprecedented turnout 92.47. There is a sense of what my team says is a deep urgency among the people of Bengal. People of Bengal are convinced that under Mamata, Bengal will become Bangladesh. She wants, and I will say it clearly. She wants Bengal to be a Muslim majority state. Because she is politically more secure there. Therefore, she has opened the floodgates, absolutely opened the floodgates to the Bangladeshis. She has tried to provide voter ID cards for them. She has fought for the Bangladeshis. Sometimes I feel she has political ambitions in Bangladesh. And I am not joking about it. Truly, and I am not joking about it. Therefore, when she goes, it's a national security threat. Ladies and gentlemen, that we are dealing with. This is not a political fight. There is a national security threat to it. She came on TV today. I'll show you the pictures looking distraught. And when I listened to her, I found that she was preparing a sort of a post failure phase. Now it's possible she'll win. I'm not saying, but the trends are saying she won't. But she's trying to rationalize, trying to rationalize the circumstance already. Try and create a series of circumstances saying these are the reasons I could lose. She's already asking her people, creating a sense of paranoia. Go sit outside the counting centers. Sit there. I will sit there for three days, almost as if it's some picnic going on. The problem with Mamata Banerjee, she's not a serious person. For her, governance has been a joke. She has reduced governance to a joke and now she wants to do a four day circus leading up to Monday. She wants to, let her. But I want to remind Mamata Banerjee today when you talk about fear, fear, let me tell you, even right now she's behaving in the despicable manner she always has. You want to see violence? Give her half a chance. Give her half a chance. She will do the same things that she did after we heard when she was not happy with her win. When she wanted to teach a lesson to the people who did not vote for Trinamool last time. And that is why, like a Gunda, like a goon, professional goon, her nephew goes around saying, I am going to be in charge. I'm going to sort you people out after the fourth. That man should be arrested. Ladies and gentlemen, these are visuals. She does this here. Look at the contrast between Mamata. She does this here, and that's what she does outside. This is a this is an attack on RSS workers, right? We can see the stone pelting. This is the real behavior. In the next visual, you will see an RSS worker bleeding severely from the wound on his head, and right behind his ear. This is the absolute hypocrisy of Mamata Banerjee. She does this, and then she comes before and says this to the people. I am with you. You are with me. rubbish Mamata Banerjee. Someone has to tell you what you actually are. You are with all the Gundas and the Gundas are for you. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a situation of, you know, the cops confronting the TMC voters. Then there is a visual of the violence that happened in Jagat Dal. You see the clash out there, right? The clash that is happening. People are trying to get inside the police station, right? As the police keep them out. Hold the gate closed. These are real visuals. If you give this party a chance, then there is the violence at the Aurobindo rally. And after all doing all these violence after creating, attempting to do havoc, which she has been put in her place this time because there are so many CRPF and security people out there. After doing all of this, she does, then comes and does this among the people. I am a peaceful person. Maa mati manush. Absolutely not. She is greedy, she is corrupt, she is communal. Ladies and gentlemen, the fact of the matter is, Mamata Banerjee is looking at a loss. Now why is that? Does she think today that when she does this acting on television like this, do you think people forget what she did during Sandeshkhali? Right. When Shah Jahan Sheikh came out her favorite Gunda, nonchalantly waving a victory sign to the crowd after facing allegations of mass rape. This is her man. This is the real face of Mamata Banerjee.
[7:49]And then she comes and does this. You cannot do this. If you've been leading Gundas, if you've been doing this on a daily basis, if you've been backing rapists, if you've been supporting, literally supporting acts of rape as political vengeance, you can't go out and try to do this number. Do you think people have forgotten what happened after RG Kar? The vandalization of the place where the victim was raped? These are Trinamool people. They try to vandalize the scene of the crime. What did Mamata Banerjee do then? Nothing. Mamata Banerjee wants to do this number, where she is the sort of the the the she plays this like a grand aunt number. She behaves like a grand aunt. Absolutely docile, absolutely peaceful and harmless. Whereas reality is, you take the mask off. She is the leader of these people. Do you think people have forgotten she is doing this today? Mamata Banerjee, you are doing this today because you are about to lose. Do you think people have forgotten when an aged woman, 85 years old was beaten up severely by Trinamool workers? Nimta is her name. An aged woman beaten up. She was lying down in the bed in pain, right? She succumbed to her injuries. And what was her fault? She was the mother of a BJP worker called Gopal. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what Mamata Banerjee has done. Her crimes have caught up with her. She is leading a crime syndicate in Bengal. So there is no point Mamata Banerjee to come out and say do this number. We have seen your real face. People know what you are, what you have done. You are desperate today. You may try to do a little bit more drama, but guess what? Whatever the result, let me tell you Mamata Banerjee. Nobody. Not even your people who you have terrorized for a long time. Nobody's scared of you. Your game is up. We will wait for the results. But do not ever try to tell your people to do what they did after the results last time. Do not even think about it.
