00:00 So, when people are trying to talk to you, when people are trying to reach out to the
00:03 Congress party, I feel that Congress is not as receptive as it could be.
00:08 I tried to sign up for the IOC about 5-6 years ago, the website never replied back to me.
00:13 There are people that want to engage with you.
00:16 That's his fault.
00:17 That's Sam's fault.
00:18 There are people that want to engage with you, even in press conferences, people are
00:21 saying hurry up, ask your question quickly and there are people really eager to talk
00:25 to you, but there's not enough channels to speak to you.
00:28 That transitions to my question, even in terms of when there is injustice and when there
00:35 are people expecting your support, there are moments where we see that the Congress party
00:40 is not present.
00:41 So, today as we speak, G20 is happening in India.
00:45 A lot of slums were demolished just because G20 visitors were coming in.
00:51 And I've been watching news reports where people are saying that nobody came, not even
00:56 the Congress party came.
00:58 And just like you did a spin with Bharat Chhodo and called it Bharat Jodo, I think this is
01:04 now do or die or karo ya maro moment for India.
01:09 Why is the Congress party, why is the India Alliance not present at every single injustice
01:14 that is happening in the country?
01:16 You've given me a very good idea, by the way.
01:19 So I will go there now that you've suggested it.
01:26 You can't be present.
01:28 India is a huge country.
01:31 India is extremely complicated and physically I can't be present everywhere.
01:38 It would be crazy for me.
01:39 So this is Delhi.
01:40 Let me finish.
01:42 Physically it would be crazy for me to be present everywhere.
01:45 Now for you to say that the Congress party is not present in the slum, you're absolutely
01:50 wrong.
01:51 There's Congress party sitting in the slum.
01:53 I can tell you, you give me the name of the slum, I'll give you the name of the worker
01:56 who's sitting inside that slum, who's fighting that contest right there.
02:00 But what you're doing is you're saying if a leader of the Congress party isn't everywhere,
02:08 then the Congress party isn't everywhere.
02:10 No, the Congress party is everywhere.
02:12 We have crores and crores and crores of people.
02:15 We have thousands and thousands and thousands of leaders.
02:18 I can tell you names of people who got thrashed in Madhya Pradesh day before yesterday.
02:24 But the way the politics has shaped out, and it's not your fault.
02:30 The way the politics has shaped out, the way media has shaped out, they will focus on one
02:37 central point and they will say, "Oh look, this is the point where everybody should be
02:42 looking."
02:43 But the political battle is taking place all across the country.
02:48 We've got people running around, getting beaten up, getting killed, getting shot.
02:54 I can give you the names if you want to see them.
02:57 So don't think that I am the Congress party.
03:02 I'm not the Congress party.
03:03 I'm one element of the Congress party and there is a massive organization that is countering
03:10 this force and I'm very proud of what they do.
03:13 I cannot tell you how much some of our people suffer.
03:18 I cannot tell you what they have to go through.
03:22 So that is the nature of the politics now.
03:26 I did mean the Congress party, not you individually.
03:28 But thank you.
03:29 No, no, remember.
03:30 You got my drift.
03:31 But you've given me a good idea.
03:33 I'm going to go to the slum there.
03:35 All right, gentleman over here.
03:37 We'll be followed by the lady over there.
03:39 Hi, my name is Mangesh Krishna.
03:41 And by the way, if you want to work with us, please, we could use someone like you.
03:45 So please have a chat with him.
03:48 We'll arrange it right now.
03:50 Sam and Sam, your website.
03:56 We are, we are chaotic though.
04:01 How do you know which one he's addressing?
04:06 [music playing]
04:10 [music playing]
04:13 [music playing]
04:17 [music playing]
