01:06in only one phase, and what is going to happen tomorrow is very important, and whom people
01:12are going to choose, whom people are going to vote, that's what we would like to know
01:17from the locals who are here.
01:19We have one of the young friend, and he has agreed to talk to us.

02:04I will vote for those who will support Rahul Gandhi.
02:07You are a big fan of Rahul Gandhi.
02:09Yes, yes, yes.
02:10And why?
02:11Because his father, grandfather, all of them were martyred for the country.
02:15Look here, now you look at me, look at me, yes, you speak.
02:21His father and grandfather were martyred for their country, and those who are martyred
02:26for the country, we are with them.
02:28But Rahul Gandhi, I mean, the other people, the other party, they call him Pappu, Pappu,
02:34and I don't know what else they call him.
02:36They all call him like that, they call everyone like that.
02:39They call Modi a watchman, and Modi is a thief, people say, so is he really a thief?
02:46Well, I won't comment on that.
02:49But the election here, do you think Rahul Gandhi's supporters will win this time,
02:57or will someone else win?
02:59We will see after voting.
03:01Okay, but you are a big fan of Rahul Gandhi.
03:04Yes, big, big fan.
03:06Do you want to sing a song for Rahul Gandhi?
03:08No, nothing.
03:09So what would you like to say for Rahul Gandhi?
03:11What would you like to see in Maharashtra, in Mumbai, what would you like to see?
03:15First, the government should make the people here.
03:17Only then will things change.
03:19What do you do, Rahul bhai?
03:21I play cricket.
03:22And?
03:23And I run a shop.
03:25Okay, what kind of shop is it?
03:26Paan shop.
03:27Oh, wow.
03:28So, are you from Maharashtra, or did you come from somewhere else and settled here?
03:33I live in Maharashtra.
03:35Okay, you are from Mumbai.
03:37So, who is winning this time?
03:40India will win this time.
03:42It's a test.
03:43Border Gavaskar.
03:45No, my brother, we are not talking about cricket.
03:47You are going to vote tomorrow, right?
03:49BJP will win this time.
03:51Bharatiya Janata Party.
03:52Okay, bhai sahib went towards the Border Gavaskar trophy.
03:56Bharatiya Janata Party.
03:57And who will become the CM?
04:00I have no idea who will become the CM.
04:03But if Bharatiya Janata Party wins, who will become the CM?
04:09So…
04:12Yes, tell me.
04:13My favourite politician is Narendra Modi.
04:17Damodar Raj Narendra Modi.
04:19Okay, and what is the name of our President?
04:21Our President…
04:24Hey, tell me.
04:26So, yeah, we are in Mumbai.
04:29And people know Narendra Modi, people know Rahul Gandhi.
04:33We just found one of the fans who was like praising Rahul Gandhi.
04:39And we had another fan who is a big fan of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
04:43But now the difference is that most of them, they don't know who is the President of India.
04:50So, let's see.
04:51It's a democracy.
04:52People have rights to choose who they want to vote, who they want to, you know, pick as the CM of Maharashtra.
04:59We have some more people.
05:00Ma'am, are you from Mumbai?
05:02Yes.
05:03So, are you going to vote tomorrow?
05:05No.
05:06Why?
05:07Actually, my voting card is from Bengal.
05:09Okay, but now you are residing in Mumbai.
05:11Yes.
05:12So, you are working here.
05:13Yes.
05:14So, who would you like to see as the new CM of Maharashtra?
05:18Who works better.
05:20Who is, according to you, who is the right candidate?
05:23I don't know.
05:25Okay, but considering there are two parties and the bigger candidates, Uddhav or, you know, Fadnavis.
05:35So, who do you like better?
05:37Fadnavis.
05:38Okay.
05:39And any issue that you, you know, think of that, you know, Mumbai needs to make this
05:45thing better or there is something which is, which needs to be done in Mumbai, what do
05:49you think is the issue?
05:50Transportation.
05:51Transportation is a big issue.
05:52Yeah.
05:53With all these coastal roads and Samridhi Road and all these flyways, you think it has became,
06:00it has become better or we have more issues?
06:04I think local trains are more than before.
06:07As the population is increasing, so I think local trains should be increased a little
06:11more.
06:12Because there are so many crowds that don't ask us to come and go to the office.
06:15So, when you have come here from Bengal, Bengal means Kolkata is something, is a city of joy,
06:21it is, I mean, there is a lot of traffic there too, but life is very different.
06:25Yeah.
06:27So, that way, what do you see is the challenge?
06:30I don't know about that.
06:34No, for you, I mean, you have come from Bengal, so you have seen the difference, right?
06:39The difference is that the population here is more, the population there is less.
06:44The comparison here is less.
06:46I am trying to do this.
06:48So, I mean, the government will have to take care that the public does not have so many
06:52problems because we have to travel every day.
06:54Yes.
06:56I mean, transportation is, thank you, transportation is something.
06:59It is something which is a very big issue for Mumbai because you understand that crores
07:04of people are living in this, in this one big city.
07:09And, of course, Mumbai metro is developing, there are multiple highways and coastal roadways,
07:15all are developing, but the challenge still persists because people would keep coming
07:22in for jobs, for roji roti to a place like this.
07:26This is not a game thing for One India.
