00:00Sir, it's been 10 years since the BJP government was in power.

00:05Narendra Modi's government was very concerned about national security and safety.

00:11The cases that you fought, especially the case of Ajmal Kasab, were historic by all standards.

00:18Do you think that when the BJP approached you,

00:22they also thought that Ujwal Nikam, who has been in the legal field for so many years,

00:29had a win-win situation for them as well?

00:31I don't know what was in their mind.

00:35I won't say that my selection was a win-win situation for them as well.

00:39But as far as I think, BJP is a national political party.

00:44Their objective and narrative is very clear.

00:48The security of the country, the integrity of the country,

00:52and the principle of all-religion.

00:56I think that our country is one of the largest democracies in the world.

01:0310 years ago, no one looked at India so strongly.

01:10The perception has changed.

01:13When our Prime Minister goes abroad, everyone respects him.

01:21We have also maintained friendship with Ukraine and Russia.

01:24America didn't feel anything.

01:27Not only that, the Qatar court sentenced our ex-8 Naval officers to death.

01:35But the Prime Minister used our Rajnayana

01:40and brought our 8 people from the king of Qatar.

01:45Because they didn't have any evidence.

01:47But the Prime Minister advocated for our country.

01:50So I think the security of the country,

01:53the message of the citizens of the country,

01:58and a developed India.

02:01India has to be developed.

02:03It has to be made in India.

02:05With these thoughts, I was very happy with BJP's manifesto.

02:11And that's why you decided that of all the political parties, BJP.

02:16Sir, we are sitting here in Mumbai.

02:18It is the capital of Maharashtra.

02:20It is also called the business capital of the country.

02:23Do you think that the vision that we get to see in Mumbai and Delhi,

02:28does the BJP government, which you are fighting with your party,

02:35work in the same way?

02:38Absolutely.

02:39I don't live in Mumbai.

02:43I live in Jalgaon, which is 450 kilometers away.

02:46And my farm is a small village.

02:49So today, for the election, I went all over Mumbai.

02:55And I saw two sides of Mumbai.

02:58One is that Mumbai is very rich.

03:00And the other is that Mumbai is very poor.

03:02There is a big gap.

03:03Yes, there is a big gap.

03:04I never thought that the Hutman area of Mumbai would be so poor.

03:11I was saddened by the fact that

03:15even our small villages are not suffering as much as the area of Mumbai.

03:20So I think that the BJP party is definitely thinking about

03:25how to make our country a developed country.

03:28What medical facilities should a common man have?

03:31So I think that BJP has also set a good narrative.

03:36Mr. Mulga from Jalgaon, if my Marathi is correct,

03:41do you think that young people need to leave their villages and come to the cities?

03:47Or is it as easy for them as it is for the urban youth?

03:54Look, if all the farmers leave their farms and come to the cities,

04:01how will they survive?

04:02How will they eat?

04:03How will they eat?

04:04We will have to import grains.

04:07But it is the responsibility of the government

04:10to provide all the facilities for the people who live in the villages.

04:16I think this should happen.

04:19This is the biggest achievement that BJP is doing today.
