00:30same demand myself in a number of interviews today so I hope that he heeds it and I would
00:34certainly be happy to recommend that if anyone would ask my views. I think that he is clearly
00:41especially after the two Bharat Jodha Yatras and his extraordinarily remarkable campaigning
00:47efforts across the country in this election, he has earned the right to be the star of
00:52the Congress party in the Lok Sabha and I think that just as Mr. Kargay is the leader
00:57of the of the party in the Rajya Sabha, Rahul Gandhi being the leader of the party in the
01:01Lok Sabha would be fitting and would be appropriate so I certainly hope he takes on that mantle.
01:052019 we didn't see, 2024 that's how it looks. That's right but the truth is that you know
01:11they do have the numbers in a pre-poll alliance so there's no question of begrudging them
01:15their right to form the government and I think the India Alliance decided very clearly there's
01:19no point trying to create a drama out of this, let them form the government and we will be
01:24a robust and effective opposition.
01:26Coalitions are not a bad thing in themselves because they will make the Prime Minister
01:30and his party much more accountable to others than they have been in the last 10 years.
01:36In the last 10 years the kind of governance we saw was my way or the highway, right? Demonetize
01:41the currency, don't even consult the cabinet, don't even consult your finance minister.
01:46Impose a lockdown at short hours notice, don't even consult the chief ministers who have
01:49to implement it. That style is over now. You can't go around saying you'll do as you wish
01:54you're going to have to take into account the views of your own coalition partners because
01:58you don't have a majority and that can only be healthy for the country that the government
02:02functions in a totally different way from the way it's done in the past.
02:05Well I've made the same demand myself in a number of interviews today so I hope that
02:10he heeds it and I would certainly be happy to recommend that if anyone would ask my views.
02:15I think that he would, he's clearly especially after the two Bharat Jodha Yatras and his
02:21extraordinarily remarkable campaigning efforts across the country in this election he's earned
02:26the right to be the star of the of the Congress party in the Lok Sabha and I think that just
02:32as Mr. Kargay is the leader of the of the party in the Rajya Sabha, Rahul Gandhi being
02:37the leader of the party in the Lok Sabha would be fitting and would be appropriate so I certainly
02:41hope he takes on that mantle.
