00:00I love Raibareli.
00:07It can't get clearer than this and this is a busy intersection in the Lok Sabha constituency
00:14of Raibareli.
00:15There is a pink booth of Raibareli police and it is believed that the Uttar Pradesh
00:22administration has kept a very strict security system here and the safety of women is a big
00:29priority.
00:30If we look behind this bus, there is a big poster where you will see the picture of Prime
00:37Minister Narendra Modi and every poor person is a part of this poster.
00:42These are the two main candidates who are fighting for the elections.
00:49If we give you information about them, although they are not in need of any information, but
00:56still, if we look at them, Dinesh Pratap Singh, who is from BJP, and he is standing against
01:03none other than Rahul Gandhi.
01:05Rahul Gandhi had decided to fight the elections from Raibareli and to talk to us here, he
01:10has invited some people from Raibareli who live here.
01:13What do you think?
01:14Sonia Gandhi and the Congress have always had a strong support for the Raibareli people.
01:18Yes, they have a strong support for them.
01:20They will be saved.
01:21They will be saved?
01:22Yes.
01:23So, BJP will not be able to tolerate this here?
01:24No, they will not.
01:25Okay.
01:26Do you live here?
01:27Yes, I live here.
01:28So, have you seen any change in all these years or is it just the Congress?
01:32Have you seen any changes?
01:34In Raibareli, there is no development of the Congress and no one is doing anything here.
01:39No one has done anything?
01:40Now, there is a lot of work to be done in the ITI Congress, there is a Rail Coach Congress
01:48FM Center here, there is a CBSE Board here, there are a lot of things.
01:53There is AIMS, which Sonia Gandhi has given.
01:55Okay, AIMS, Raibareli.
01:57Rahul Gandhi has won in Raibareli.
01:59Rahul Gandhi has won?
02:00Yes.
02:01Absolutely.
02:02Congress is repeatedly saying that we will give one lakh rupees, we will give jobs, we
02:06will give this.
02:07Do you think that dream has been fulfilled in Raibareli?
02:09Congress has been running here for so many years?
02:11It should be said that there are a lot of factories in Raibareli, our male area area.
02:16You can go and see.
02:17Okay.
02:18And earlier, the government of Congress, there were limited companies, every person
02:23used to get a chance to work in it.
02:26Today, all the companies, you can go and see, all the contractors are working in the
02:30company.

02:33With two lakh rupees plus.
02:35Two lakh rupees plus.
02:36Yes.
02:37And the conspiracy that is being created here, the narrative of defeating them is being
02:41prepared.
02:42That doing Hindu-Muslims among people.
02:44A lot of other narratives are being prepared.
02:47So, according to us, it will be proved completely false.
02:50And if you say the rest, then in ten years, there was no employment and everything has
02:54become private.
02:55And the students' issues, in so many years, we have seen that the government of double

03:45Hindu, Muslim, Ram Mandir, okay, it's just a matter of five kilos of ration.
03:51There is nothing else for the youth.
03:53Look at the issue of India's union.
03:56There is a promise of 300,000 jobs in the first cabinet.
03:59So, the youth will go towards India's union.
