[00:00:00] Give you one more example, how many people are here who are carrying [00:00:03] cash on them? Raise your hands, [00:00:07] hardly anyone, if you see almost barely what 10 to 20%, [00:00:10] because now a large number of people have started doing digital transactions, [00:00:14] UPI, yet when you [00:00:17] with what is called thorough preparation. bring in the MDR and the entire debate [00:00:20] around becomes, people say, we don't trust the government [00:00:23] that today you are charging 4% tax, tomorrow you will charge [00:00:27] 100% on people's digital transactions, there is just [00:00:31] a lack of trust. When we repeatedly ask the opposition, they repeatedly [00:00:34] say the same thing, we cannot trust the government, people don't trust it, [00:00:38] that's why they are in the opposition. [00:00:42] We trust ourselves, that's why we are in power and running the government. [00:00:45] Let's see, when we take service, [00:00:49] should we pay the service charge or not? This free [00:00:52] maps of the national highways culture that Arvind Kejriwal [00:00:54] spreads, this disease, should not be done. It will make people weak and sick. [00:00:58] Everything, in those days, [00:01:01] it was also the गुरुजी's दक्षिणा, [00:01:04] right? Everything has a price, [00:01:08] nothing is free. [00:01:10] Rest [00:01:13] that the era of those who cheat is forbidden. If you want good service, [00:01:16] you have to pay, but [00:01:19] you have to pay as much as you can afford. [00:01:22] who have played with their future, If the government is so [00:01:24] thoughtless and charges exorbitant rates and [00:01:28] all this, then the public will get angry. But we should not get into the opposition's narrative [00:01:32] that if you [00:01:34] for the BJP was very big, create any institution, any organization, any body, it should be kept alive, [00:01:37] right? If you [00:01:41] make a transaction of ₹500 and ₹5 are deducted, then [00:01:45] you can say, "Oh, that's too much." [00:01:48] The bare minimum service charge applies in every country and every society. [00:01:52] I don't think we should fall for the opposition's [00:01:56] propaganda. [00:02:00] If something is unbearable [00:02:03] or absolutely unjustified, then the public has the right [00:02:07] to speak. The government listens [00:07:43] Namaste, welcome to this special presentation. I am Akhilesh [00:07:46] Sharma. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is completing [00:07:50] 25 years in public service. On October 7, 2001, he took [00:07:53] oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, and since then, he has been continuously [00:07:57] in public office. The BJP is also running a [00:08:00] Jan Sankalp Abhiyan across the country for a month for this, [00:08:04] and with this, we have also seen that the party is organizing various programs. [00:08:07] BJP's former president Jagat Prakash Nadda ji, who has been [00:08:11] with PM Modi for a long time on this journey, [00:08:15] is also the leader of the house in Rajya Sabha, as well as the Union Health [00:08:18] and Fertiliser Minister. Nadda ji, you are most welcome [00:08:22] on NDTV India. As I said, the Prime Minister's [00:08:25] journey has been very long, and you have seen this journey very closely. [00:08:29] What would you say about his 25 years of public service [00:08:33] and his work in the organization before that, which has brought him [00:08:37] to this position today? First of all, [00:08:40] Prime Minister Modi [00:08:42] ji is a very [00:08:45] unusual [00:08:48] and talented personality. [00:08:51] I got to see him when I first [00:08:55] met him, and this was [00:08:59] in 1990 when he came [00:09:02] as the National General Secretary and took charge [00:09:05] as National Secretary under the chairmanship of Murli Manohar [00:09:09] Joshi ji in Delhi. At that time, [00:09:13] I got an opportunity to work as the National President of Yuva Morcha. [00:09:15] Since then, I have seen him. [00:09:19] He was [00:09:22] completely different. [00:09:26] And his [00:09:28] working style, [00:09:31] thinking, [00:09:33] सोच, [00:09:35] discipline, [00:09:38] commitment, [00:09:40] and reaching the result [00:09:43] till the last mile, this has been his great [00:09:47] focus in life. I remember [00:09:50] at that time, the National President of Yuva Morcha, the National [00:09:54] officials' meeting which used to be [00:09:57] held, they were invited. So [00:10:01] Modi ji used to come from Gujarat [00:10:05] as the General Secretary, and he was in Delhi [00:10:07] then. So, whenever there was a meeting, [00:10:11] he would explain with full preparation. [00:10:14] His notes were ready. [00:10:17] What should be the thinking on contemporary issues? [00:10:21] What should be the roadmap? [00:10:23] Not just for the sake of saying, [00:10:27] but how to implement it at the grassroots level. [00:10:30] Understanding its intricacies, knowing [00:10:34] them, taking [00:10:37] it forward, he would come to the meeting [00:10:42] साथ बैठक में आते [00:10:44] Ekta Yatra, his [00:10:48] organizational ability was considered, [00:10:51] and he was made the leader of the Ekta Yatra [00:10:55] which went to Srinagar Lal Chowk [00:10:58] under the leadership of Murli Manohar Joshi ji. So [00:11:01] I remember that after the meeting ended, [00:11:04] he told me that he needed [00:11:08] a detailed map of the country, maps of the states, [00:11:12] maps of the national highways for planning, [00:11:17] for planning, maps of the national highways [00:11:20] for planning. Now, I thought that our [00:11:24] tradition was that the organization would decide [00:11:27] that the yatra would go from this place to this place, [00:11:31] and so on, wherever there was demand. This was the first time I [00:11:34] saw him spending a week [00:11:38] to plan the Ekta Yatra [00:11:40] in minute details, [00:11:44] what its theme would be, [00:11:47] what the talking points would be, what the focus [00:11:50] would be, what the branding would be, how the yatra [00:11:53] would run. The training of volunteers, [00:11:57] the volunteers who would walk [00:12:00] in that Ekta Yatra from the South [00:12:04] and reach Kashmir. [00:12:07] Their training, [00:12:10] what their tasks were. So, for the first time, we saw him [00:12:14] how meticulously [00:12:17] and this is a very extraordinary [00:12:20] talent, and never to show that [00:12:24] he is [00:12:26] giving any direction, this should be done, that should be done, [00:12:30] the matter should be presented in this way. [00:12:33] So, there are many such examples. [00:12:37] In Himachal, he was my in-charge. So [00:12:40] he came and asked where the office runs. So we [00:12:43] told him that one MLA, I am the leader of [00:12:47] the BJP group, I got an extra room flat, [00:12:51] the office runs in it. In one flat, in one flat. [00:12:54] So he told me that how will the office [00:12:58] run like this? Find land immediately. [00:13:00] An office has to be built, [00:13:04] and this work should be done within three months. [00:13:07] चाहिए, [00:13:10] We never imagined that the BJP government [00:13:13] came and went for such a long time there, but [00:13:17] we never imagined. He got the [00:13:20] office inaugurated by Lal [00:13:23] Krishnanji within 6 months. [00:13:56] When they used to travel, in those days, [00:14:00] they used to tell us [00:14:02] what impact the arrival of the internet would have, [00:14:06] and how we could grow the party [00:14:09] with the facility of the internet. [00:14:13] At that time, email, [00:14:16] internet, all this [00:14:19] was in the initial stages, so he used to talk about its impact, [00:14:22] and he was our in-charge in Himachal for three years, [00:14:25] and he formed our government in Himachal, he formed the government in Haryana, [00:14:29] so this [00:14:32] is his power of thinking [00:14:35] and the organizational ability and mining [00:14:39] details, thinking big, that amazing [00:14:42] ability and result-oriented, so we have seen [00:14:46] this of his, [00:14:47] and [00:14:50] completing it to the final goal, we have seen [00:14:53] that. [00:15:30] Lucknow's Lok Bhawan became a witness to the dreams of hundreds of youth [00:15:34] who secured government jobs with their hard work. [00:15:37] Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath handed over joining letters [00:15:41] to 818 candidates. During this, the Chief Minister clarified that [00:15:45] when the recruitment boards of Uttar Pradesh do not fall prey to any political [00:15:49] infection or discrimination, [00:15:52] then deserving candidates get their rights without any recommendation. [00:15:55] But from this platform, Chief Minister Yogi [00:15:59] Adityanath strongly criticized the previous system. [00:16:02] He directly attacked the corruption [00:16:05] in government jobs, referring to the rule of the Samajwadi Party. [00:16:09] You will be surprised, [00:16:11] many recruitments were such [00:16:15] that people who had not [00:16:17] even applied were distributed appointment [00:16:21] letters. Just imagine. [00:16:23] Just imagine, [00:16:26] सोचो, [00:16:28] in the Samajwadi Party government, those who had not applied [00:16:32] were distributed appointment letters, and those who [00:16:35] had applied were left watching. [00:16:38] This was anarchy, [00:16:42] this was the height of anarchy. [00:16:45] The Chief Minister did not stop here. He warned in strong words [00:16:50] the youth is now over. [00:16:53] Those who have harmed the youth of UP, [00:16:59] I believe those who [00:17:03] created an identity crisis for UP, [00:17:07] who made Uttar Pradesh, [00:17:11] a celebratory state, disturbed, those people [00:17:14] will never be tolerated by UP. [00:17:18] The Chief Minister said that Uttar Pradesh was once the state with the best [00:17:21] per capita income in the country, but later [00:17:25] it was made sick. He said that today [00:17:28] in UP, development without discrimination [00:17:31] is happening. The big news of the moment is coming, [00:17:35] in Khammam, Telangana, a famous neurosurgeon Dr. K. [00:17:37] Jagadish has died in a tragic road accident. [00:17:41] The 50-year-old Dr. Jagadish was a senior neurosurgeon at Mamata Hospital in Khammam. [00:17:45] According to the information, his Volvo car [00:17:48] collided with a divider near Pilalavari on the Suryapet Khammam [00:17:51] Highway. The collision was so severe [00:17:54] that the car immediately caught fire, and [00:17:58] in no time, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. [00:18:01] In the accident, Dr. Jagadish died on the spot. [00:18:05] NDTV [00:18:08] India, India's [00:18:10] trust. [00:18:16] The whole of Asia wants you to win, but see, [00:18:19] only Indians will win. [00:18:21] They will take [00:18:24] the gold medal for India. [00:18:27] When and how? On NDTV India, we [00:18:31] will tell you. Watch Jai Ho in Japan. [00:18:34] Exclusive coverage. [00:18:52] All-wheel drive in the Kiaranto, Kia, [00:18:55] movement that inspires. A little more taste. That's [00:18:59] its specialty. Mom, what a taste! [00:19:03] Oh, my king. [00:20:07] was visiting many temples, it was certain that he would sit on the CM's chair [00:20:11] of UP, but how did the game turn around [00:20:15] in 24 hours? What all happened, because perhaps you were the first [00:20:19] journalist who broke the news that Yogi Adityanath is going to become the CM [00:20:23] of UP. On the evening of the 17th, a call comes from Amit Shah. Where am [00:20:26] I? He says, "I have come to Gorakhpur." Where are you? He said, "I am in the monastery, [00:20:30] sitting in the Dham." So he was told, "I had forbidden you to go," [00:20:34] so he says, "Sir, what can we do now?" He said, "You come." At that time, [00:20:38] there weren't many flights in Gorakhpur, all this happened later that Gorakhpur has flights, five-star hotels. [00:20:41] So he says, "Sir, there's no car or horse [00:20:44] So Amit Shah said, "You sit at the Dham, reach the airport, [00:20:48] a special flight is coming for you." Shah said, "Do one thing, [00:20:52] immediately go back to Lucknow by the plane you came in. [00:20:55] You have to become the Chief Minister." That was the first time Yogi [00:20:59] Adityanath was told verbally by Amit [00:21:02] Shah that he had to become the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. Yogi Adityanath's close people [00:21:06] say that when he came out, he stood outside the car for five minutes. [00:21:09] I got the news. [00:21:12] I confirmed it from one place. The third confirmation, the final confirmation [00:21:16] I needed, came from an interesting very young reporter [00:21:20] whom I, from whom I got some information, [00:21:24] who was in Delhi, and we reported that Yogi [00:21:27] Adityanath would be the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. A Fortuner [00:21:31] car arrives, slightly covered with flowers, and in it, [00:21:34] for the first time, Yogi Adityanath is sitting in the front, wearing [00:21:38] cool Aviator sunglasses. Yogi Adityanath, a five-time [00:21:42] MP, did he ever express a desire to become CM, or did [00:21:45] this position come to him automatically? Yogi never showed such ambition. [00:21:49] The narrative at that time was that they needed a polarizing figure, [00:21:53] in which a saffron-clad leader fit very well. [00:21:56] You know, you are not just talking about Hindutva, you are wearing Hindutva. [00:22:00] Keshav Maurya's name was circulating, Manoj Sinha's was circulating, Rajnath [00:22:03] Singh ji's name was there. But in terms of names, you see, Keshav Maurya had a problem. [00:22:07] Keshav Maurya was young, and he lacked administrative experience a bit, [00:22:10] and UP is a very complex state. Making Yogi the CM in 2017 [00:22:14] and the Lok Sabha elections in 2019 meant that you played [00:22:17] the Hindutva brand, absolutely. You are saying that the Sangh [00:22:20] wanted it, so the result in 2019 [00:22:24] meaning it emerged as the single largest party. [00:22:27] So what do you think? Padmaja, I also want to know from you, you [00:22:31] covered 2017 and 2019. What special quality did [00:22:35] the BJP high command see in Yogi Adityanath that he was given a chance [00:22:38] in 2017? I'll take you to 2019. You remember that in 2019, there was a very [00:22:42] interesting combination of BSP and Samajwadi Party. [00:22:46] It was an alliance for the 2019 elections, which is called "Bua Babua saath mein" (aunt and nephew together), [00:22:50] and in that, a very revolutionary step was taken. I remember I [00:22:54] was in Azamgarh that day, the day Dimple Yadav touched [00:22:58] Mayawati ji's feet in Kannauj, and the calculation was that [00:23:01] Yadav and Dalit votes would come, and then they would be unbeatable [00:23:04] with this combination in Uttar Pradesh. [00:23:08] There was a Valmiki temple there, so when [00:23:12] the Katha was almost over, some people were coming out. So I asked them, "Now [00:23:16] you will vote for Akhilesh ji," so [00:23:20] they said, "No, we will vote for BJP." So I said, "But [00:23:23] why will you vote for BJP?" They said, "Sister's feet were touched [00:23:27] by Dimple ji today." So they said, "What difference does that make to us? Sister will become a minister, [00:23:31] right? Yogi ji has worked for us. Modi ji [00:23:35] has given us a house. So then we will vote [00:23:38] as Hindus." The way the mafia was eliminated from Uttar [00:23:41] Pradesh, development, [00:23:44] meaning law and order is also an element of development, and when law and order is talked about, [00:23:48] this "will mix them in the dust" thing [00:23:59] When I went from college, I also got freedom here in [00:24:03] Delhi, so I went back to Lucknow because my family was still living [00:24:07] there, so I was going back home in a rickshaw, wearing just [00:24:10] a sleeveless kurta, and behind the rickshaw, four [00:24:14] motorcycles and a jeep [00:24:17] were following the rickshaw. This was our condition. And [00:25:20] plus, that's why, now you see, what slogans do you see [00:25:23] of his recently? From product to festival [00:25:27] express state. When somebody told me that you [00:25:30] talk so much, you know, that Yogi is Yogi only [00:25:34] because he became chief minister because he is saffron, he is a Mahant. [00:25:37] Sir, Sakshi Maharaj also wears saffron, why can't he become chief minister? [00:25:41] So, like Baba is there, this line will always [00:25:44] remain in my memory that Baba Baba [00:25:46] is there. [00:26:27] CM Yogi Adityanath's big attack on Rahul Gandhi, said this women's power was echoing with lies. [00:26:31] These people cannot respect [00:26:34] women. [00:26:38] BMW car fell from the flyover on Mumbai Coastal Road. It was going [00:26:41] over 200 speed. Three people in the car died, one is in critical [00:26:45] condition. [00:26:49] Ukraine attacked Russia with 1000 drones. Targeted Moscow's oil [00:26:52] refinery. Two people died, six injured. Zelensky said, [00:26:56] "We will do anything for our defense." [00:26:57] करेंगे [00:27:02] Daughters' stormy performance in the games, two silver medals in shooting, [00:27:06] ticket to the final in women's cricket, and a धमाकेदार win in women's hockey [00:27:09] to start. [00:27:11] शुरुआत, [00:27:18] Namaste, welcome to News Headquarters. You are watching me, Tabish Hussain. First, let's talk about a case [00:27:22] that is causing a lot of politics and a lot of discussion. [00:27:26] Actually, the issue of controversial mimicry in Rahul Gandhi's program in Indore [00:27:30] is now echoing in Uttar Pradesh. [00:28:32] they consider it their only goal. [00:28:34] हैं, [00:28:37] To expect from those people that they can understand the spirit [00:28:41] of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam or [00:28:44] that they can understand the spirit of "Yatra Naarastu Pujanate Ramante Tatra [00:28:47] Devata" (where women are worshipped, gods reside), I think [00:28:51] the country should stop expecting anything from them. [00:28:54] My friend, the politics on the comment made from Rahul's stage [00:28:58] is boiling, and now the entry of Yogi Adityanath in this battle [00:29:02] has intensified the political fight. My [00:29:05] friend, Yes, [00:29:08] sir, a video of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's "Goonj" program [00:29:12] has now become the reason for a political controversy. This program was organized in Indore, [00:29:16] and during it, PM Modi was allegedly mimicked on stage, [00:29:19] on which the BJP is now attacking Rahul Gandhi for laughing. [00:29:23] My friend, yes sir, this is the video of Rahul Gandhi's [00:29:27] "Chhatron ki Goonj" program in Indore that has come into controversy. [00:29:30] The BJP has called it an insult to PM Modi's mother, [00:29:34] while the Congress has defended Rahul Gandhi regarding this [00:29:38] video. They also insult [00:29:41] Indian culture and [00:29:44] they also insult the great leaders [00:29:47] who have given [00:29:51] for this country. I just want to [00:29:55] say that those who are uncivilized and whose language is not parliamentary [00:29:58] and who don't know how to speak, should not preach to others. [00:30:02] Actually, during the Goonj program, [00:30:06] mimicry artist Pulkit Kochar came on Rahul Gandhi's stage. [00:30:10] Give a chair to mother. [00:30:13] Pulkit Kochar had mimicked [00:30:16] PM Modi and made fun of asking for a chair [00:30:20] for an elderly woman during his rally. [00:30:22] था, [00:30:24] Now, political war of words is also intensifying over the controversy [00:30:28] that arose from Rahul Gandhi's program. Opposition parties are seen [00:30:31] standing with Rahul Gandhi, while the BJP has raised questions [00:30:35] on Congress. This is Rahul ji's misfortune. [00:30:38] If I were there or [00:30:41] if someone's mother was in my program, [00:30:44] not Modi ji's, but someone's mother, [00:30:47] Rahul ji's mother, [00:30:51] if someone's mother, and someone speaks ill of her.
