India Today LIVE: Annamalai Explains Why India Needs Strong PM | Lok Sabha Election 2024

how long can we talk about ideology okay let us come to ideology sir they they ideology is the last Fortress they hold they so no this is an ideological state I'm not going to allow this state to get broken now sir let us let us compare this you have given chance to both the parties multiple times 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years now Kerala has to make its Choice clear when Modi is going to come back for five more years for sure that's a definite five more years are we going to keep a Congress or a communist as an MP to say what can I do Modi G is prime minister come and meet me after 5 years Choice number one or Choice number two where you can if it is a bar janata party MP ndmp you can go and catch the shirt caller you can say what are you doing sir it is your Modi who sitting as prime minister and we voted for you why can't you get this sir this is the beauty of a democracy where people should come and ask you question why are you not doing it communist or congress MP even to one person can you ask ask this question you cannot do it why not the great why not where Rahul Gandhi g is contesting Karnataka Forest Minister gave 10 lakh to a person who got killed by an elephant attack and why not sir anybody who gets killed by a man animal conflict it's sorry State of Affairs we have to take care that's a duty then the Karnataka Forest Minister writes a letter to ragul Gandhi g have you seen that letter dear rul Gandhi g as per your instruction I have allocate 10 lakh rup to that vard person who got killed by elephant the Press went and asked him is Rahul Gandhi your boss then he said no no no Rahul Gandhi is our party leader then why is a minister you're writing a letter to ragul Gandhi he said no no the elephant is a Karnataka elephant it wandered into wot there it wed it killed so Karnataka we take responsibility and AR Baba in Tamil Nadu we are saying the same Congress government why can't you give cavi water the same logic same there is an agreement to 2018 when BJP was there it honored it after 2023 when Congress came they said we are not going to honor it for an elephant you take the trouble to see where the elephant was sleeping where it was moving and first time somebody said this is a Kat elephant have you heard this joke the forest Minister said this a he was promising this 100% kataka refund it has gone to why not it'll come back after a month so we are giving 10 lakh you see are extra power centers just because you want op somebody and he writes a you should read that letter real rul Gandhi g as per instruction I have allocated 10 lakh rupe that money is also giving this kind he also writes KC ven goal G called me over phone who is ky venugopal organizing SEC General Secretary as per telephonic conversation of K venugopal G to me I allocated 10 L rup to why not this so we have to understand sir this is a model that is still a Gandhi model still based on one guy one family who is very clear they want to protect the T and this doesn't have any space for aspirational people and many people sitting in this room and many young people in Kerala are very aspirational they want to live on their own two foot walk do something and I'm just giving you one example so many of times what happens sir we don't read the other state newspapers mistake all of us make we read only the newspapers of our state if you read our just our Telangana chief minister RAR the anchor is asking s d what is your opinion he saidat D is very important I'm holding very strong to it election time now this is the time for all Congress people to become Amar abbar and Anthony we all know all election Amar Akbar or Anthony they become is very important Anor next question then abuse what is your opinion he said you see in our alliance it's all like this unity and diversity then the anchor ask a pointed question but still abused what is your answer if if is should be punished then the anchor ask a fourth question are you sure 100% punishment then DMK fellow threatening Congress in Tamil Nadu yesterday India Alliance we are keeping our mouth shut because Tamil Nadu elections are over they can speak anything they want the DMK please mind your words Mr Raven fry sir this is a sign of things even before the second phase of fall has happened only the first phase has happened second phase third phase fourth phase fifth phase sixth phase 7th pH till June 1 that is why to a journalist friend I was telling IND now where will it take off only one election it is over now you are seeing fight you are seeing Congress and DMK fighting it's a matter of time so before you vote fifth phase we should not regret because there might not be an India Alliance anymore in the fifth phase anybody who thinks India Alliance will save the country in Kerala any of our brothers and sisters are thinking they got to think twice because when the election enters the fifth phase I'm not sure whether India Alliance will be intact by phase number five so brothers and sisters humble appeal to all of you this is an election of progress election of development this is an election of course I am also a proud tamilan doesn't mean doesn't mean I have to pick up a fight with the north I have to pick up a fight with my Bengal friends I have to pick up my fight with Rajasthan I am also a proud tamilan doesn't mean I have to Ill treat or hate any other person who doesn't speak my language I am also a proud tamilan doesn't mean I have to pick up an unnecessary fight by a state by insulting and demeaning it insulting and demeaning it so Congress has failed to understand this logic a proud Carly doesn't mean we give up our interest to anybody state interest of course is paramod BJP party if you look at it's a beautiful party Modi G is a Gujarati he's a Gujarati speaking person now he's an Indian Prime Minister he knows what a federal democracy is how each state should be treated and how each state should be given a handun for the state to grow now Congress picking up an argument to say if you say I'm an Indian meaning you are not tamilan is stupidity at its worst if Congress saying if you say you are an Indian you are not a Malay is saying stupid at its worst Now new terminology the Congress and communist are saying malayali means we are not Indian what logic is this a tamilan DMK tamilan means India second a tamilan means India first only a malayali means India first only there's no confusion there this is a new logic they brought it in 2024 to say oh BJP is saying India first and malayali first don't believe in it we are saying malayali first and India second please believe in it what nonsense what nonsense when I flew in here a malayali pilot was driving me we're fing over two states can I tell them no no no no your border is over please drop the plane we will walk and go this is a state where everybody is everywhere and a rich social fabric we have to understand sir they are destroying our social fabric every W to India alliens is destroying our social fabric it just doesn't make any sense to us that is why Kerala has to reject it outwardly very clearly on April 20 26 to say that we are for uh unity and diversity a strong country but also means a strong State last but not the least now pandrum is very lucky Mr Rajiv Chandra Shar G is contesting on a BJP ticket if you look at India in the next 5 years where India will go in the next 5 years if you look at the Departments information technology will play a key role Electronics will play a key role skill development will play a key role so we have a minister exactly who is from this department who's taking care of it who's taking care of skill development who's taking care of electronics I think it is important that trandum has to make a choice right choice now a person like Rajiv Chandra Shar G getting elected from pandrum who has got the direct ice and years of prime minister Narendra Modi G is going to take it to a very very different level Shashi and myself we had a debate in Chennai sir he came for TL debate both of us are supposed to sit here and Center Guru G will sit and we are supposed to debate and discuss on ideas unfortunately my flight got delayed from Delhi and we agreed that Sashi G will speak first then after I come to the stage if Sashi G is graciously sitting in the stage I will speak in front of him if I will reply to his uh questions also if not I I will speak by the time I reached and climbed up the stage shashii said long journey tired he has spoken for long and he wants rest and he left the stage then since it's a two- speaker event I have to give my answers to him now Sashi made lot of arguments there I'm sure the same argument holds for Kerala also here also he might say the same thing the first argument he said oh you see after BJP has come to power in 2014 all institutions have collapsed all institutions of col there's nothing called Judiciary there's nothing called a free and fair Democratic way of an arrest everything now we out to understand Shashi Tor comes from a party when he decide to contest the Congress nominee for the national president Shashi came to Tamil Nadu for campaig please ask Shashi Shashi G how many people came to receive him in congress party office in Chennai two people State party president escaped all MLS escaped all MPS escaped shash was standing alone in the Tamil I am telling you this as a challenge you ask shash who talking about institution two people were in the state party office in Chennai when Shashi G was campaigning for the National Party president election then the Press asked the other fellows why you do not go and see Sashi because it's a m in the top they said both the person should be given an equal opportunity be it Malik Arjun or Shashi both will be treated very nicely then the congress party people said no no Gandhi family we cannot receive he's only a namesake fellow it is Malik they have sent it and if he receive they will fire us also terribly embarrassed Shashi returned back now he is talking about BJP as a party where all of us first generation people and many of your first generation our fathers and mothers are simple Farm people who are doing farming we are standing in front of you he wants to compare about BJ second sashishi ran to be the United Nations Secretary General very interesting story I I actually want you to ask sash he failed he failed then very beautifully two three books were written later um on on the UN process that happen which I gave in my tkl speech also that day later Sashi also says when Manan sing G sits in a lunch working lunch with the American US Secretary of State when the visit happened to India Manmohan sing G did not even seek WS for shash the Americans of course wanted to support a Korean Banky Moon he didn't even ask him please support our candidat there were many countries in the Middle East where the Indian Ambassador did not even go and seek votes for shashu that was the nature of Indian diplomacy which shashu G also writes in a open magazine article that government of India did not support me properly now I was telling in the tukl function if it is Modi as prime minister 100% we would have made Sashi as un Secretary General if he qualified enough second part is different if he qualified enough since he was our official candidate where was the congress party what foreign policy is he talking when when is when the own congress party when he was not a member when he was a diplomat suddenly becomes a member of Congress party suddenly he says oh congress all great all super and fantastic the third one Congress alone used 91 Times article 356 Madam Indra Gandhi used it 51 times he comes from that Legacy Modi G in the last 10 years you please recall one instance sir where mod has used article 356 such a strong government 303 MP 17 States in power why mod did not use a single 356 he is taking us a lecture on democracy you used it 91 times Madam indraa Gandhi alone used it 51 times and then sidu takes a lesson to us saying oh institutions have collapsed after Modi has come what institution has collapsed sir what institution has collapsed suddenly they want to make electoral bond an issue sir 44% of electoral Bond BJP receives 56 b% elal Bond opposition party received then should we blame oh opposition parties you went and ended you got 56% we got only 44% what nonsense are they talking sir a ruling party for 10 years okay 2004 to 14 we we'll flip the argument when Congress was in power how much corporate donation BJP received 70% Congress in power BJP receiving 70% means sir you have your money in the packet sir you come to me you come to my friend and say J Shankar G and say J Shankar G I have 100 rupees in packet can I contribute to your party now J Shankar will say no no no no no please go and give 30 rupes to Communist Party 40 rupes to congress party they struggling poor people and 20 Rupees to all regional party 10 Rupees to me that is enough you show me one person who will say that sir a money will chase a place where they think that money is well utilized when BJP receives 4 4% of elal bonds it simply means people trust it is not Corporate simple person they want to buy a bond for 1,000 rupe 2,000 rupe they want to come and give when Congress was in power for 10 years 2004 to 14 70% of corporate donation BJP received why because they believed this fellows have messed up everything BJP will come and right now we have to kill all this nonsense in the butt ELR Bond they Twisted this person there were some intelligent Congress people pulv act after that somebody gave money to somebody some company in New Delhi some company in Karachi one con see this Karachi fellow donating that is the level of brain sir people all of you I really feel for you because argument can be counted with an argument how will you how will you contradict nonsense with an argument the last 10 years half of our job was only countering this Congress nonsense so institutional collapse all this are bogus it is important that we represent the true things to the people of India people of Kerala to say whenever Congress comes to power sir I'm releasing this 2G tapes I'm not sure how many of you had the time to uh hear those steps with subtitle we are putting so if any of you did not have the time I humbly request you to go into our Tamil Nadu bjp's Twitter page or my Twitter page and look at 10 tapes we have published very beautiful tog happen CBA has to write Raja TR B minister in the tape t b says Raj don't worry don't worry I spoken to CBA director don't worry and tomorrow they coming to my home I told them what to do abaro to the next day CBA fellow asked should we come and ride today is it a good time to ride in Tamil NAD today when the CM secretary says don't come to today don't come today come tomorrow then they say why tomorrow because tomorrow the fishermen are doing a protest if you come and write tomorrow our boss meaning Kanger Kar is saying that we will ask the news media to cover the fisherman protest and not the 2G right so that this will go then they okay we'll come tomorrow don't worry all 10 tapes if you listen your blood will boil how the country was run from 2004 to 14 when the Prime Minister was not powerful enough to question somebody in the cabinet you just look at all the tapes do India needs to go back to the same era where people can come I have 30 MPS I have 20 MPS I have 25 MP all of us will sit together and I will take care of CBA director you take care of income tax commissioner you take care of income tax board do the country has to go back to that era and India Alliance is talking about that same story to us so brothers and sisters we have done lot of hard work to reach here and we cannot allow this unprincipled family loving children promoting dynastic entitlement fellows to again roll back the clock and take us back to 2004 that is an important job at hand for us and we should do our best over the next 3 days whatever we have in hand to make sure April 26 the people of Kerala will vote for the NDA vote for the BJP for what it is for what we have to do so what we have to achieve I take this opportunity to thank all the people who have come here I think he's looking at me meaning the time is over and I thank special thanks to J Shankar G our very able state it and social media convenor for arranging this and our nandu ner G our district social media convenor of tandur for having all of us together thank you so much Barat ma dear friends all brothers and sisters who have come here to this very beautiful thuram and all of you are very important people and Kerala State per se is a state where the political awareness is so high everybody is aware politically it's a state where Politics the discussion happens everywhere from a tea shop to a dining room to a village everywhere people actively talk politics it is a state when India got independence when the whole country's literacy rate was 19% Kerala was above 40% I'm talking of 1947 1950 it is that kind of a state and today that state is making a decision in about 3 days time April 26 it is making a very very important about ideology about development about New India how Kerala is looking at India's growth story over the next 25 years that is why this election is very very important for a couple of states for States like Tamil Nadu and States like Kerala because we are making a very important decision that is going to alter the economy the state the nature of our thinking over the next 25 years I'm very happy that all the six parliamentary constituencies Sandra maingel Kum M Pam ala all people are assembled here be it the influences and be it the our office bearers if you look at every election in India every election in India is a story 1952 election was about oh we got independence please vote for us and even the people who stood against the congress party Are Congress people only who stood against the congress party 1952 after 1977 we did not want Congress because of emergency that is also a story all of us wanted to defeat Congress even janang was part of a janata party a shortlived experiment for a couple of years before the party BJP got formed in 1980 so like every important election is a story but these two elections are very important 52 the election after Independence the election after 77 is a punishment for emergency again 2024 is one such election because this is an election even before we vote we know it is going to be Narendra Modi G as India's prime minister for a third straight time that is the beauty of this election all this election if somebody is looking at 50 years later if somebody is looking back at this election they will remember 52 they will remember the election after emergency and they will remember the 19 2024 election because Modi is coming back to Power and this is not an ordinary election it's the longest election after 1952 long election Tamil Nadu we voted April 19 you are voting April 26 the 7th pH is June one such a long election that to when very very good heat proper heat people are predicting Heat Wave people have to turn up people have to vote States like Rajasthan which is going to see a very hot summer and that is where our role becomes very important even people know Modi is going to come back to Power it is our duty to help them to come and make their choice on the postal Ballot or on the voting day people cannot sit at home thinking that Modi is going to come back to Power why should they go and vote so our everybody vote second make everybody to vote the right way this is my opening comment where I felt this election is very very very important where people should not take it for granted normally such a big election where everybody is knowing that prime minister is going to come back people should not sit at home thinking oh anyway Modi is going to come back it will one one of my vote matter should I go in this hot Kerala somewh at 12:30 on April 26 to a booth should I stand in line for 10 minutes should I vote it is it worth the effort now I am here to convince you and to convince our other friends it is worth the effect that we have to really go there and vote like all these three are very important elections we also knows every election is a story 2014 when Modi G was our prime minister candidate the whole ecosystem India has got a lot of ecosystem this ecosystem is built over the last many many decades people go to Western colleges get educated get influenced by a set pattern of thinking come back or the already the professors get influenced by a certain pattern of thinking and that is infused into all our educational curriculums Generations after generation people read it so this is a country still we are debating what is the exact meaning of secularism in the emergency time when a preamble got amended when the word secular got inserted into the Preamble before that it was different after that it is different so people say oh secularism is it keeping distance from all religion or is it going and appeasing all religion if anybody deviates from it Congress will say oh this party BJP party is against this community after 2014 when Modi and all our other leaders when they say secularism means zero appeasement but taking care of everybody in Congress terminology it means it is pure hinda it is forsaking other community this is a problem in the last 10 years all of us are facing because 70 years of unlearning relearning and learning that happened because of ideological lens we are trying to remove in a state like Kerala is much more higher than other parts of our country so 2014 they said oh if Modi is going to come back to Power India is going to get finished who said the left liberal ecosystem they said starting from Kerala the magazines which support the set pattern said oh all institutions will collapse if Modi is going to come it is going to be a Hindu brand of politics 2014 now 2019 when again was standing in front of us for a second term again the same group made a comment no the people of India are angry they're going to defeat Modi in 2019 you see this result because everywhere Modi has done a great disservice this is what the ecosystem said 2019 we came back with a larger majority 2024 this ecosystem has become a label it has got a political label to it in the name of India Alliance they themselves instead of having this desperate group as some journalist instead of having a desperate group as a small party everywhere they've joined together they've given a label a political identity and openly 2024 they have come it was a very important election because this ecosystem has got a political label and this ecosystem has very bravely named itself by the name India though we know we call it as India Alliance but somehow they felt you bring a street dog you paint it like a tiger you say this is a tiger people will believe so he assembled all those people who don't have any idea about India every single pattern of theirs every single decision making of theirs they were against the country's interest at various points of time just by giving them a name called i n d a they say oh we are for India and this 2024 is such an important election where the voters are very aware 10 years of our government achievement we are standing in front of them this this is also an election where we are going back to 1960 1970 the terminology we he in the first five elections 60 65 70 the same terminology we are heing this election north south imposition cultural imposition Hindi social fabric disturbance Arian Davidian these are the words we are hearing in Tamil Lao politics over the last many months I'm sure the same lexican and terminology is also used Us in Kerala politics I want to take three parts and just present before you how the India Alliance people are trying to set this narrative north south resource distribution South is not getting resource States like carala the chief minister has to go to jent man sit down and do protest so South needs to be saved that is why we have to vote for regional parties or communist parties or congress party here Brothers we all know sisters we all know the first time India had a formula in dividing our resources all the combined tax effort goes to the center and the tax effort has to come down to each state wasn't Fifth Fifth Planning Commission was wasn't the fifth 5year plan because Planning Commission at this 5year plan 1969 we arrived at a formula called the ggill formula Madame Inda Gandhi was the Prime Minister in the ggill formula they decided this much money how we are going to divide to all the states so in the formula if you read they said 60% weightage is given to population more popular state will get more money 60% weightage mean income distance oh some State the average net income of a state is less than the national average income so 60% population ratio we started throughout the Congress period we maintained then it became the ggill mukarji formula in the 2000 even then we maintain when modii took over in 2014 if you look at the 15th Finance commission what started with 60% weightage for population is 15% weightage now 1969 we started with 60% weightage now the weightage given to a state which has got more population is 15% in the current Finance commission which decides how much revenue has to be shared between all states 45% is given to income distance meaning the mean income and the distance from the mean income how far you are 45% is mean income distance then for the very first time in the last 10 years we also have got this thing called performance Improvement if Deo demographic performance is improving if states are able to control the population the fertility 12.5% tax effort state is contributing in a good way to tax effort 2.5% state is able to maintain forest and ecology 10% the geographical area of a state 15% this is a Formula right from 1969 India's following if there is some logic to this formula which is now after Modi has come there is some logic to this formula in the 15th Finance commission where the population is 15% demographic performance is 12.5% area of state is 15% forest and ecology is 10% income distance of course is 45% now we also have to understand s Congress which is talking oh you got to share more to the state you should not keep more money with Center which Rahul Gandhi g and others are promising 2004 when Congress came to power only 30.5% of resources was shared with state which Modi Modi as a chief minister was equivocal in saying that state should be given adequate resources for its own development when Congress left power in 2014 this 30.5 was 30 2% meaning in Congress in 10 years has increased it from 30.5 to 32 now in 2024 it is 42% now if there is one party in the whole country which do not have any right to talk about the Devolution of resources from centers to State especially the tax effort that is put in and the finance commission that is devolving they 10 years of UPA 1 and 2 30.5 to 32 10 years of ND a from 32 to 42 the 16th Finance commission the term is constituted and we can expect more Progressive reforms as and when the finance commission is going to submit its report in the early part of 2026 now friends we have to remember this logic has to be killed in the butt if anybody in Kerala any politician is talking about North and South it is about taking the states and the country's gain by 50 years backwards 50 years whatever we have achieved in going forward parties like Congress parties like DMK parties like communist simply for their political gain just like that they stand before us they say no no no you got to give more resources you look look at the budgetary grant support we give 100 rup in Tamil Nadu there is this 29 PESA the whole election the chief minister and his son UD is stalling everywhere they said we are going to call PM Modi as 29 PESA Modi then of course we also hit back saying that if you're going to call PM Modi as 29 PESA Modi we are going to call you as drug stalling because under your rule that drugs have gone up and high but again to substantiate again to substantiate their argument is okay you give us money for budgetary Grand that money we will take we will compare and only that money we will calculate a saying you given to State now Kerala if you take close to 35 36 lakh Farmers they have got 32,000 into their account here in the state Tamil Nadu is 47 lakhs Kerala is 35 3 6 lakh Farmers small medium Farmers 16 installments they got 2,000 every year 6,000 16 installment 2,000 which is 32,000 they don't calculate that because it is directly from Center to a farmer that doesn't get calculated into the state's resources or when you bring build lacks of houses PM AAS yoga when you transfer 273,000 to their account they say no we will not calculate or LPG subsidy 300 Rupees to the bank account they say we will not we will not calculate or when you want to calculate all the roads we have put all the bridges we have put everything the Cal government is doing it they say we will not calculate they say it is only when the money is given to the state as a budgetary support only that we will calculate to say the center is giving us less now the complete model is changed till Modi G came the central government was not playing an active role in propagating development the central government never took care about development per se because 2014 Congress last term last inum budget before they left office the money that was Kept For infrastructure was approximately 1 lakh 17,000 CR approximately 2024 February 1 our last inm budget before the elections were called we gave 11 lakh 11,111 CR for development because when a when a central government is taking upon itself to say I am Pro development don't worry you don't have a house I am not going to say it's a state's responsibility Modi G is saying it's centers responsibility I will take care I will give you subsidy oh you have a medical insurance problem I will give you a 5 lakh worth card of medical insurance for the very first time we are seeing a central government is climbing down and saying oh you haven't built toilets let me build toilets in the last 10 years we have built 11 CR toilets Tamil NAD Alone 55 lakh toilets so this model is very new for a state government because they they are not able to comprehend and understand a central government is doing development in a state where the state should have ideally done it in the first place over the last 60 years now the new argument says or north south again we have to break the resource allocation not happening we have to break the resource allocation is happening every state gets it res because Center's money is accountable any budget last 10 years budget anybody can download anybody can read through that budget anybody can look at allocation everybody can look at beneficiaries in Kerala I have a big statement with me if I take it in hand if I study the beneficiaries in Kerala 62 lakh jenden accounts 58% women aspirational district is why not again if you look at it if you look at the PM mudra Kerala alone how much it is sanction 9,892 CR 1.5 CR beneficiary if you look at standup IND theia 1,556 CR PM suadi 999,000 Street vendors got it here PM Jan Jodi Bea yoga life insurance 21 lakh if you look at all the numbers for example the brother was talking about the JJ mission in a state like Kerala close to 66 lakh houses 51% is covered under jjan yoga which is 100% supported by government of India again if you look at free ration if you look at everything but their calculation their their logic is you have to give everything to the state the state will take care that model will not work it is not going to work this is very important we we bust this myth of saying that your resource allocation Theory itself is improper and your explanation is Criminal and not only that they are doing a great disservice to a state like Kerala which has got the highest which has got the highest literacy rati now I come from katur when you look around the colleges of katur katur has got approximately District we have got 310 colleges it is one District in India which has got the largest number of colleges in a district that is not the capital city 310 colleges if you look everywhere I see a lot of our malayali friends be it a Medical College be it an arts college I see everywhere big malayali speaking students of course Kerala is a home to lot of our malayali friends more than lcks of people they stay in Kerala reside in Kerala they have added richness to Tamil Nadu social fabric but I'm more concerned with students who are residents in Tamil Nadu who are from different parts ofam K different parts they just come to a neighboring state like Tamil Nadu katur preferably Chennai Bangalore Hyderabad they just study for 3 years again they come back if if it Trace our children's story they were born in Kerala higher education good education institutions in Tamil Nadu Karnataka again their job is somewhere else I believe this is the greatest disservice that has happened to Kerala over the last 70 years by the political parties which has ruled Kerala a state which has got the highest literacy rate a state even when the country was born which has got a literacy rate of 46% India was 19% a state where the human capital is going all around the world but not inside Kola I believe this is the time you got to fix it sir if you don't fix it we are in deep trouble and Kerala has to take it as a challenge in 2024 to say first our human capital is for kerala's development of course India's development it is not for a Middle East development it is not for an Europe development it is not for a farest development the kerala's human capital which is very very rich which is one of the best in the world I believe this should be an important Narrative of 2024 elections to say our people will stay back we will bring the state of the a companies here we will bring techno paria we will bring the software paria but unfortunately the narrative is not this sir The Narrative even today even today if you look at the Daily Newspaper even today is vijan G and Rahul Gandhi g fighting north south problem tax Devolution issue and V said when our alliance will come back to Power we will give all money to Kerala or if you come to Tamil Nadu they will say we will give all money to Tamil Nadu so that is why I was telling our friend also who our very able social media coordinator J Shankar G let us do paper cutting of of all South Indian States put the paper cutting in one poster and circulate to Kerala circulate to Tamil Nadu circulate to Karnataka because Kerala people should know the comedy that is happening in the other states in the name of India Alliance Tamil Nadu people should know the comedy that is happening in carala in the name of India Alliance because when ragul Gandhi g comes to kator if you see that image he was there to campaign against us about a week back 10 days back he was sitting in the middle of the chair next to him is our chief Minister MK Stalin one seat after him is Tamil nadu's Communist Party Chief just one seat after 60 kilometer he travels into palaka immediately communist are as enemies that is why in English we have a beautiful word called Frenemies friend enemies is are called Frenemies in Kerala this Indie Alliance if you look it has gone one step further now ragul Gandhi g is questioning when two Chief ministers are in jail why this chief minister is not in jail [Applause] now rul Gandhi is going one step further when two chief minister in jail why this guy is not in jail then this chief minister is asking ragul Gandhi national case why you are not in jail see that is the narrative now last 3 days in Kerala all newspapers are like who is going to jail now this guys have to decide who will be in bail who will be in jail in the next 3 years see is this a narrative that Kerala politics once in 2024 April 26 elections are very unfortunate very very unfortunate and not only that sir now we have to appreciate and understand the essential of Politics the base of politics is accountability a citizen should go ask a pchat leader why it is not done a citizen should go ask an MLA why it is not done ask an MP why it is not that's how the Indian political system is designed because it's a first post the post the model and somebody's accountable to you in States like Kerala and Tamil Nadu last time you give 19 seats to Congress correct one seat to communist and every time you ask a congress MP why it is not happening what can I do sir mod is in power I am in different party so after 5 years we will see and bravely after 5 years they're coming and setting the same narrative now you know for a fact it is Modi who is going to come back to Power all of us know for a fact nobody in this room has got a doubt whether Modi G is going to come question is whether it is 400 or 410 or 430 that is a doubt we all have now here the same Congress fellows have come now if you look at the India Alliance arguments nowhere the India Alliance is saying they're winning India Alliance is saying Modi will not win 400 nowhere the Indi is saying oh we are winning if he win C50 points we will do we will do everything they are saying Modi should not win 400 so tomorrow if Modi is winning even 398 they will say AA because of our alliance we have reduced two seats we have done so much hard work over the last one year we have reduced two seats and 100% they will have a success party also so take my word they'll 100% have a success party in Delhi to say two seats we have reduced there also there will be a fight I am responsible for two seat reduction other fellow will say I am respons this is not an alliance at all any Alliance that is not on principle any Alliance is there only on anti mod plank it will not work sir it will take the country so back I'll give you a simple example 2004 UPA one came to power elections got over nobody knew who's the Prime Minister 10 days it took they said and he is the prime minister I used to say this in our praram in kala movie our Superstar rajik there is one famous dialogue one fellow will come and say sir I am a hero and Raj will ask his friend Kumar there is very famous dialogue like way suddenly after 10 days they said he's the Prime Minister all of us asked Kumar then Frankly Speaking 90% of us did not know who the hell is manm sing We said who is this guy then they took explanation for one day no no former Reserve Bank Governor he contested in Delhi lost once he's such a nice person please believe us is's a good man and he's your prime minister sir if you look at demographic blenders over the last 50 years in the whole world I believe this should be number one first time a prime minister was imposed on a country that thrives on Democracy this is the country it's noisy democracy t- shop fight bus stand fight everywhere we fight because of democracy this country somebody said he's the Prime Minister whom you never elected who never went to loks SAA who is a rajas saaba two time and who was far away from politics not even a functioning a political functionary who's an office Bearer or congress party all India secretary congress party General Secretary nobody knew they said he's the Prime Minister 10 years we put up with it what is the what is the price we paid for it our Raja our 2G Raja he writes a letter very interesting letter he writes a letter now first the Prime Minister writes a letter to Raja he says Dear Telecom Minister your first to come first to serve policy fcfs is fundamentally flawed please review it then Raja writes a letter to prime minister dear prime minister wam I think this policy is right because my leader also believes this policy is right and I am going to stick with first come first Ser this is the Bare Essence of 2G scam where Raja decided he put a cut off date he said look Day After Tomorrow is a cut off date whoever has given the application before the cut off date first to come first Ser I'm going to qualify them I am going to give them license do you know the how many pages somebody has to fill sir 727 Pages you got to fill company financial statement which you took and the the essence of 2G scam people got the document one week before people filled it when Raja said tomorrow morning it is starting the application 7:00 it is open all the companies which is in the 2G scam list they arrived there with the filled up list they said come on please take it first come first Ser give me my license why it happened because a strong prime minister was not there who couldn't say this is stupidity of the highest order please take this logic back so nobody saying Manan sing is corrupt this country right now is not searching for somebody who can claim oh I like a Buddha I will sit there and watch what is happening I will not this country wants a functioning prime minister even 10 years from now when Pakistan and China decides to do a two-prong attack on India at the same time this country should be resilient enough to face it so that is the challenge before us do we have a prime minister of that caliber I'm just giving you one example of f for how a prime minister who is not accountable to the public because the prime minister is Not Elected the Prime Minister doesn't have a constituency of his own the Prime Minister doesn't go and campaign for every state election in this country six election a prime minister has to face every year six election people will judge a prime minister six election people will ask a prime minister what have you done so this prime minister has to take so much risk demonetization before up still you go on face GST go on face you make this decision go on Face the essential nature of Indian democracy a prime minister has to be a risk taker and the Prime Minister has to face the public and convince the public and still make the public to vote this is a country that there doesn't need stagnated Solutions no I am a prime minister I will not make decisions because I have six elections every year I will just keep quiet if I make one decision somebody will feel hurt Kerala will feel hurt Tamil Nadu will feel hurt up will feel hurt I will not make any decision please vote this country doesn't want Prime Ministers like that so Modi G has broken that mold to say I'm a performing prime minister but every year I will face six elections I will convince you to vote for us because my decision is right in this context friends I'm making a very humble appeal to all of you now you tell me in the alliance will all leaders agree to a single leader who will be a prime minister question number two even if all leaders agree to a single leader as prime minister will that person be able to run the cabinet question number three even if this person is able to run that cabinet if he has to pull up some Minister for some wrong thing X is prime minister Y is in mam Ban's party Z is in arind kajal's party B is in some party and if he has to fire the essential thing of a cabinet is the prime minister should have the right to fire though in our country it's the president who accept the prime minister's decision because the cabinet cannot be under the control of a prime minister if three answers are false false and false for an India Alliance then what are we looking at sir we are looking at a country that will go to shambles if any of them will decide that I am going to be the country's primee Minister rul Gandhi is no concurrence here only and many of his ideas if you implement it is much worse than 1991 USSR USSR when somebody said why USSR collapsed one communist gave a beautiful answer sir the essence of Communism is very simple you got to act as if you are working the government has to act as if it's watching this is the essence of communism if both of you break it communism will collapse I'm telling this again sir when USSR collapsed somebody asked a communist why it collapsed they said sir people and uh party government two are there people have to act as if they are working the government has to act as if it's watching when anyone breaks USSR collapses that is why you build up build up an inefficient State One Fine Day it collapsed when the whole country was world was opening up friends we have to understand in this very very important election Kerala has to make a choice and this Choice has to be Pro development and this Choice has to move Kerala forward and this Choice has to be very simple that kerala's human capital is first reserved for Kerala State when Kerala is prospering India will prosper Kerala cannot be a net exporter of human capital this is a flawed and completely illogical model Kerala cannot export its beautiful human Talent Bountiful brain to all parts of the world to say no no even if you go to Moon there is a Kerala person standing there though we feel proud that whichever part of the world we go there is an Indian and a malayali and carite brother and sister who is there though we feel proud but when we come to Kerala Brothers said J J just look at what they have done to the states if you look at the performance report of the whole country Kerala stands the lowest here the J completion is 51% 51% 51% biar where they where they speak so bad about Bihar our brothers and sisters bear is 96% you are 70 lakh houses be is 1 66 lakh houses there they have done 96% completion here it is 51% completion so what model are they talking a state like Kerala they are not able to complete a central government project project that to 100% Grant from Silver Line Silver Line Silver Line I'm hearing from a school student and many of times he used to go on Google what is the silver line and some protest some fellow and Modi beautifully got to W bat which is connecting the length and bread of Kerala yesterday I was in palakad again the difference between communist and Kerala is two things sir communist and Congress party a congress party will copy and get caught a communist fellow Will copy and will not get caught that is a beauty in Kerala if you see they copying me central government scheme in palakad vat train is coming there the Congress MP felt let me go go to a printer shop take three photos print out he came and nicely pasted in vat he said as if he invented he went and convinced Modi G no no no we have to move to mandat the same thing the great shash G is also done here and Shashi has gone one step further and the proudly the consti report if you read Shashi somebody should ask him in a forum like this Shashi it is all great these are all the things that happened inam what did you bring when vat comes he says I did it I did it as if he sat in that Forum he invented everything so there the Congress fellow put his poster poster have you seen the whole country was laughing in the two compartments only his face was there it was just going now I think it's time for Kerala especially the Beautiful the the bountifully Abundant talent and the brainy carals to make a choice we have to move how long can we talk about ideology okay let us come to ideology sir they they ideology is the last Fortress they hold they say no this an ideological state I'm not going to allow this state to get broken now sir let us let us compare this you have given chance to both the parties multiple times 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years now Kerala has to make its Choice clear when Modi is going to come back for five more years for sure that's a definite five more years are we going to keep a Congress or a communist as an MP to say what can I do Modi G is prime minister come and meet me after 5 years Choice number one or Choice number two where you can if it is a bar janata party MP ND MP you can go and catch the shirt CER you can say what are you doing sir it is your Modi who sitting as prime minister and we voted for you why can't you get this sir this is the beauty of a democracy where people should come and ask you question why are you not doing it in communist or congress MP even to one person can you ask ask this question you cannot do it why not the great why not where rul Gandhi g is contesting Karnataka Forest Minister gave 10 lakh to a person who got killed by an elephant attack and why not sir anybody who gets killed by a man animal conflict it's sorry state of Affairs we have to take care that's a duty then the Karnataka Forest Minister writes a letter to ragul Gandhi g have you seen that letter dear rul Gandhi g as per your instruction I have allocate 10 lakh rup to that vard person who got killed by elant the Press went and asked him is Rahul Gandhi your boss then he said no no no Rahul Gandhi is our party leader then why is a minister you're writing a letter to ragul Gandhi he said no no the elephant is a Karnataka elephant it wandered into why not there it wandered it killed so Karnataka we take responsibility and AR Baba in Tamil Nadu we are saying the same Congress government why can't you give Cav water the same logic same there is an agreement to 2018 when BJP was there it honored it after 2023 when Congress came they said we are not going to honor it for an elephant you take the trouble to see where the elephant was sleeping where it was moving and first somebody said this is a Karnataka elephant have you heard this joke the forest Minister said this is a he was promising this 100% Karnataka elephant it has gone to why not it'll come back after a month so we are giving 10 lakh you see are extra power centers just because you want to appe somebody and he writes a you should read that letter real rul Gandhi g as per instruction I have allocated 10 lakh rup that money is also giving this kind he also writes KC ven goal G called me over phone who is KY venugopal organizing SEC General Secretary as per telephonic conversation of K venal to me I allocated 10 lakh rup to why not this so we have to understand sir this is a model that is still a Gandhi model still based on one guy one family who is very clear they want to protect the T and this doesn't have any space for aspirational people and many people sitting in this room and many young people in Kerala are very aspirational they want to live on their own two foot walk do something and I'm just giving you one example so many of times what happens sir we don't read the other state newspapers the mistake all of us make we read only the newspapers of our state if you read our just our Telangana chief minister Rand rigar the anchor is asking Sanaa what is your opinion he saidat D is very important I'm holding very strong to it election time now this is the time for all Congress people to become Amar abbar and Anthony we all know all election Amar Akbar anony they becomea is very important Anor next question then abuse what is your opinion he said you see in our alliance it's all like this unity and diversity then the anchor ask a pointed question but still abused what is your answer if if ising should be punished then the anchor ask a fourth question are you sure 100% punishment then DMK fellow threatening Congress in Tamil NAD yesterday India Alliance we are keeping our mouth shut because Tamil NAD elections are over they can speak speak anything they want the DMK please mind your words Mr Raven sir this is a sign of things even before the second PA of fall has happened only the first pH has happened second phase third phase fourth phase fifth phase sixth phase seventh phase till June 1 that is why to a journalist friend I was telling sir IND faure now where will it take off only one election it is over now you are seeing fight you are seeing Congress and DMK fight meting it's a matter of time so before you vote fifth phase we should not regret because they might not be an India Alliance anymore in the fifth phase anybody who thinks India Alliance will save the country in Kerala any of our brothers and sisters are thinking they got to think twice because when the election enters the fifth phase I'm not sure whether India Alliance will be intact by phase number five so brothers and sisters humble appeal to all of you this is an election of progress election of development this is an election of course I am also a proud tamilan doesn't mean doesn't mean I have to pick up a fight with the north I have to pick up a fight with my Bengal friends I have to pick up my fight with Rajasthan I am also a proud tamilan doesn't mean I have to Ill treat or hate any other person who doesn't speak my language I am also a proud tamilan doesn't mean I have to pick up an unnecessary fight by a state by insulting and demeaning it insulting and liing it so Congress has failed to understand this logic a proud car doesn't mean we give up our interest to anybody State interest of course is paramod BJP party if you look at it's a beautiful party Modi G is a Gujarati he's a Gujarati speaking person now he's an Indian Prime Minister he knows what a federal democracy is how each state should be treated and how each state should be given a handun for the state to grow now Congress picking up an argument to say if you say an Indian meaning you are not tamilan is stupidity at its worst if Congress saying if you say you are an Indian you are not a malayali is saying stupidity it's worst Now new terminology the Congress and communist are saying malayali means we are not Indian what logic is this a tamilan DMK tamilan means India second a tamilan means India first only a malayali means India first only there's no confusion there this is a new logic they brought it in 2024 to say oh BJP is saying India first and malayali first don't believe in it we are saying malayali first and India second please believe in it what nonsense sir what nonsense when I flew in here a malayali pilot was driving me we're fing over two states can I tell him no no no no your border is over please drop the plane we will walk and go this is a state where everybody is everywhere and a rich social fabric we have to understand sir they are destroying our social fabric every V to India is destroy destroying our social fabric it just doesn't make any sense to us that is why Kerala has to reject it outwardly very clearly on April 20 26 to say that we are for uh unity and diversity a strong country but also means a strong State last but not the least now pandrum is very lucky Mr Rajiv Chandra Shar G is contesting on a BJP ticket if you look at in IND in the next 5 years where India will go in the next 5 years if you look at the Departments information technology will play a key role Electronics will play a key role skill development will play a key role so we have a minister exactly who is from this department who's taking care of it who's taking care of skill development who's taking care of electronics I think it is important that trandum has to make a choice right choice now a person like Rajiv Chandra Shar G getting elected from pandrum who has got the direct ice and years of prime minister Narendra Modi G is going to take it to a very very different level Shashi and myself we had a debate in Chennai sir he came for TL debate both of us are supposed to sit here and Center gumu G will sit and we are supposed to debate and discuss on ideas unfortunately my flight got delayed from Delhi and we agreed that Sashi G will speak first then after I come to the stage if Sashi G is graciously sitting in the stage I will speak in front of him if I will reply to his uh questions also if not I will speak by the time I reached and climbed up the stage shashii said long journey tired he has spoken for long and he wants rest and he left the stage then since it's a two- speaker event I have to give my answers to him now Sashi made lot of arguments there I'm sure the same argument holds for Kerala also here also he might say the same thing the first argum he said oh you see after BJP has come to power in 2014 all institutions have collapsed all institutions of there's nothing called Judiciary there's nothing called a free and fair Democratic way of an arrest everything now we have to understand Shashi Tor comes from a party when he decide to contest the Congress nominee for the national president Shashi came to Tamil Nadu for campaig please ask Shashi sash G how many people came to receive him in congress party office in Chennai two people State party president escaped all MLS escaped all MPS escaped Shashi was standing alone in the Tamil I am telling you this as a challenge you ask Sashi who talking about institution two people were in the state party office in Chennai when Shashi G was campaigning for the National Party president election then the Press asked the other fellows why you do not go and see Sashi because it's a a mad in the top they said both the person should be given an equal opportunity be it Malik Arjuna K or shash both will be treated very nicely then the congress party people said no no Gandhi family we cannot receive he's only a namesake fellow it is Malik they have sent it and if he received they will fire us also terribly embarrassed Shashi returned back now he is talking about BJP as a party where all of us first generation people and many of you first generation our fathers and mothers are simple Farm people who are doing farming we are standing in front of you he wants to compare about BJ second Shashi ran to be the United Nations Secretary General very interesting story I I actually want you to ask S he failed he failed then very beautifully two three books were written later um on on the UN process that happened which I gave in my tkl speech also that day later Sashi also says when
