04:39.600 --> 04:42.960
Who should be our leader?
- Soniaji and no other.

04:46.480 --> 04:48.520
Long live...
- Sonia Gandhi.

04:48.640 --> 04:50.960
Long live...
- Sonia Gandhi.

04:59.480 --> 05:01.680
No more questions.

05:02.360 --> 05:04.680
You will all come to know tomorrow.

05:06.040 --> 05:08.000
Ma'am, just one question! Please!

05:08.280 --> 05:10.880
The BJP has lost this election.

05:10.960 --> 05:14.120
But maybe they are
not ready to admit.

05:14.600 --> 05:17.400
They are strongly opposing
Sonia Gandhi's ascend

05:17.480 --> 05:19.480
to the Prime Minister's post

05:19.720 --> 05:22.560
and constantly demonstrating
against her.

05:22.720 --> 05:24.080
Sir, what is your opinion?

05:24.280 --> 05:25.800
These are baseless arguments.

05:26.800 --> 05:28.600
Sonia ma'am has won the election.

05:29.080 --> 05:30.360
So she will be the PM.

05:33.560 --> 05:35.680
There is no scope
for debate in this, Rahul.

05:37.040 --> 05:38.880
It's pretty simple and clear.

05:40.480 --> 05:43.040
We have won this election
under the leadership of Ma'am

05:43.520 --> 05:44.920
And she shall be PM.

05:46.480 --> 05:48.160
This is a land where great sages,

05:48.240 --> 05:51.520
ascetics, saints,
and learned men want to be born.

05:51.960 --> 05:56.800
But Sonia Gandhi refused to accept this
country as her homeland for 16 years.

05:57.600 --> 05:59.200
The ordeal that my...

06:00.840 --> 06:02.040
grandma,

06:03.160 --> 06:04.680
and father had to go through

06:07.720 --> 06:09.320
can you guarantee my mother

06:10.600 --> 06:11.960
won't face the same consequences.

06:13.320 --> 06:14.640
This is our family matter.

06:15.160 --> 06:17.920
I admit you're perfectly
right in your own way.

06:19.560 --> 06:24.280
But you must understand,
every party worker

06:24.640 --> 06:27.840
wants to see
Sonia ma'am as the PM.

06:28.320 --> 06:30.600
This is more than
a family matter now.

06:31.720 --> 06:35.720
A person who had to accept
citizenship of this country

06:35.800 --> 06:39.240
due to constitutional compulsion
and not because she wanted to.

06:39.320 --> 06:42.160
Are they unable to find a leader,

06:42.440 --> 06:45.920
born in this country, to lead us.

06:46.000 --> 06:48.840
We don't want a foreigner
as our Prime Minister.

06:48.960 --> 06:50.200
And, I won't let it happen.

06:50.520 --> 06:53.840
With all due respect, Mr Kapil,
please don't teach me politics.

07:23.920 --> 07:24.960
Friends.

07:26.520 --> 07:28.560
For the last 6 years,

07:29.120 --> 07:33.800
one thing has been pretty clear
in my mind.

07:35.560 --> 07:37.920
And I've often mentioned

07:40.440 --> 07:43.360
that my goal is not
the Prime Minister's Post.

07:45.600 --> 07:49.720
And now my conscience
is telling me

07:50.880 --> 07:54.600
that I should politely refuse

07:54.880 --> 07:58.720
to accept this post.

07:58.840 --> 08:02.120
No-no-no-no...

08:03.760 --> 08:06.040
Calm down!
- No-no-no...

08:09.000 --> 08:12.240
What is your opinion
on Sonia Gandhi's decision?

08:13.280 --> 08:15.240
Look, Sonia ma'am is my mother.

08:16.480 --> 08:18.440
And she's made this decision
after much reconsideration

08:18.520 --> 08:21.280
and assessing her conscience.

08:22.080 --> 08:26.040
And if her conscience is telling
her, then this decision is right.

08:29.680 --> 08:31.760
Well, this is her decision,

08:34.320 --> 08:35.560
a decision made from her heart.

08:38.800 --> 08:39.760
There's nothing we can say.

08:40.720 --> 08:43.920
It's not an easy decision to make.

08:44.920 --> 08:48.120
Sonia is my mother.
And I am proud of her.

08:50.280 --> 08:51.760
All I can say is that

08:52.600 --> 08:54.760
there's no other person
in this country

08:56.040 --> 08:58.120
who can make a similar decision.

09:01.320 --> 09:04.480
I know I could've never taken such
a decision in the same situation.

09:06.640 --> 09:08.720
Long Live Sonia Gandhi!

09:08.800 --> 09:12.200
How should be our leader?
- Soniaji and no other.

09:12.360 --> 09:14.120
Soniaji and no other.

09:14.200 --> 09:18.280
Sonia Gandhi's refusal to
the PM's post has created a stir.

09:18.520 --> 09:22.360
Who is going to be the Prime Minister
of the world's largest democracy

09:22.480 --> 09:24.280
is still a mystery.

09:24.880 --> 09:27.640
Seniority is the
most important issue.

09:28.240 --> 09:31.200
We need a leader
who is respected by all.

09:32.200 --> 09:33.120
Look...

09:34.120 --> 09:37.120
Seniority and respect are fine.

09:38.080 --> 09:41.760
But, we'll have to think
about our alliance as well.

09:42.640 --> 09:44.400
After all,
this is a Allied Government.

09:45.720 --> 09:50.680
We need someone who
can appease all the groups.

09:55.800 --> 09:58.720
This is a very big challenge for me.

09:59.440 --> 10:03.520
I want all of you
to support my decision.

10:04.360 --> 10:07.960
And this wasn't an easy
decision for me to make.

10:10.560 --> 10:12.400
I thought about many people.

10:13.560 --> 10:15.520
About the future of this party.

10:16.480 --> 10:17.640
About the country.

10:20.080 --> 10:22.560
And, after carefully
reviewing every aspect

10:23.920 --> 10:25.840
I believe that

10:26.080 --> 10:30.560
only one man fits
the bill perfectly.

10:32.520 --> 10:35.160
For the Prime Minister's post...

10:35.600 --> 10:38.080
I've chosen Dr. Manmohan Singh.

10:58.320 --> 11:02.080
No power in this world can stop the
deliberations,

11:02.280 --> 11:06.280
the conception
for which the time has come.

11:08.320 --> 11:10.720
India's time has arrived.

11:11.400 --> 11:16.440
I would like to tell this assembly,
that our country shall emerge

11:16.800 --> 11:20.800
as an Economic super power

11:21.160 --> 11:25.120
and no power in
the world can stop it.

11:40.360 --> 11:45.160
I, Manmohan Singh, swear on God

11:45.400 --> 11:48.560
that I shall discharge my duties

11:48.880 --> 11:52.000
as the Prime Minister

11:52.320 --> 11:55.520
with utmost dedication
and sincerity

11:55.600 --> 11:59.600
And never make public any knowledge

11:59.720 --> 12:04.840
that I obtain as the Prime Minister
intentionally or unintentionally!

12:22.240 --> 12:23.680
Master Stroke.

13:06.960 --> 13:09.160
The tea served in the
Secretariat is pretty sweet.

13:09.800 --> 13:13.200
It's how I've made
many bitter enemies.

13:14.640 --> 13:20.040
These handful people run a country
with a population of 1 billion people.

13:21.480 --> 13:25.960
They decide the fate of this
country, and I write their story.

13:26.440 --> 13:27.600
That's my job.

13:28.000 --> 13:30.400
Hi. I am Sanjaya Baru.

13:30.840 --> 13:32.440
Editor, Financial Express.

13:34.320 --> 13:37.600
So, Mr Sanjaya,
are you looking for your headlines?

13:37.840 --> 13:39.880
You're the headlines these days,
Mr Chauhan.

13:40.080 --> 13:42.040
So, which Ministry
are they giving you?

13:42.520 --> 13:45.880
Finance... Minister of State.
- Congratulations.

13:46.080 --> 13:47.440
That's a big post.

13:47.920 --> 13:50.160
Who will be your Cabinet Minister?

13:51.240 --> 13:54.160
The Prime Minister will
keep the Finance Ministry.

13:55.000 --> 13:55.920
Is it true?

13:56.920 --> 13:58.840
The Prime Minister
told me personally.

13:59.680 --> 14:02.920
You don't need to think twice
before making this your headlines.

14:03.360 --> 14:04.200
Excuse me.

14:11.160 --> 14:13.360
Welcome back in
the Government, Anna.

14:14.200 --> 14:15.840
Thank you, Baru, thank you.

14:16.120 --> 14:17.800
What's new?
- You tell me.

14:17.880 --> 14:21.400
Which Ministry are they giving you?
- Finance. What else?

14:22.080 --> 14:26.920
I see... But I heard that the
PM's keeping the Finance Ministry.

14:29.680 --> 14:33.400
Baru, if the PM looks after
Finance, then what will I do?

15:29.160 --> 15:32.200
Baru. Your editorial came true.

15:32.680 --> 15:34.600
The party finally
called in the doctor.

15:35.200 --> 15:40.120
Years later we have a PM who
has no connection to real estate.

15:42.360 --> 15:46.120
But... Politics is not Economics.

15:47.640 --> 15:49.480
Will he survive?

15:51.760 --> 15:56.720
Narsimha Rao ran his government
for 5 years despite being in minority

15:57.840 --> 16:00.240
I am sure the Doctor has
learnt something from his mentor

16:04.240 --> 16:05.400
Chauhan.

16:08.800 --> 16:09.960
Sir.

16:10.680 --> 16:13.960
Mr Baru you will have
to change your headline

16:15.000 --> 16:17.320
Chidambaram will be
the new Finance Minister.

16:19.480 --> 16:22.680
But the PM told you personally,
didn't he?

16:23.760 --> 16:28.280
Maybe he did so in excitement
without asking the high command

16:35.560 --> 16:37.000
Is this even possible?

17:02.160 --> 17:04.560
'Child's name.
- Name's Manmohan Singh.'

17:05.880 --> 17:08.600
'And his date of birth.
- Who cares about the date of birth.'

17:08.680 --> 17:10.560
'It's not like he's going
to be the Prime Minister.'

17:10.720 --> 17:12.400
'I mean write whatever you like.'

18:22.000 --> 18:24.520
Manmohan Singh didn't
win this election.

18:24.720 --> 18:26.440
The people chose madam.

18:26.560 --> 18:28.640
And madam chose Manmohan Singh.

18:28.720 --> 18:32.800
And this fact should
reflect at every level.

18:33.040 --> 18:37.200
Mr Patel,
it's easier said than done.

18:37.960 --> 18:42.760
It has to be constitutionally
and legally fitted in.

18:43.840 --> 18:45.960
He is right, Patel sir.

18:46.120 --> 18:48.600
The PMO has unprecedented
control over the policies.

18:48.720 --> 18:50.560
This won't be easy.

18:55.600 --> 18:56.920
We'll decide the Polices.

18:58.960 --> 19:01.200
A National Advisory
Committee shall be formed.

19:02.680 --> 19:04.240
And madam shall be the chairperson.

19:06.400 --> 19:08.560
And they will work towards the
development of the underprivileged.

19:09.160 --> 19:10.120
Yes...

19:11.080 --> 19:12.920
And this will keep
the 'Left Front' happy.

19:13.000 --> 19:17.320
We'll have to appoint a loyal bureaucrat
in the Prime Minister's office.

19:18.280 --> 19:19.680
Do you have anyone in mind?

19:22.320 --> 19:23.440
Pulok Chatterjee.

19:24.120 --> 19:25.120
Who else?

19:25.480 --> 19:26.560
That's good advice.

19:27.160 --> 19:29.520
Sir, here's a list of your
people approved by 10 Janpath.

19:32.560 --> 19:34.200
The list has become pretty small.

19:35.440 --> 19:36.760
'Pulok Chatterjee.'

19:37.000 --> 19:38.880
'Gandhi family's close...'

19:39.160 --> 19:45.000
'He's getting the PM's list of
people approved by Sonia Gandhi.'

19:47.160 --> 19:49.000
What will be your job, Pulok?

19:49.240 --> 19:52.920
Sir my job will be to maintain
communiqué between the NAC and the PMO

19:53.640 --> 19:55.960
Sir, that will be unconstitutional.

19:56.800 --> 19:58.240
What will be your brief?

19:58.440 --> 20:00.400
Sir, my brief is to brief madam.

20:00.600 --> 20:03.880
If she has knowledge of your decisions,
then it will only make her job easier.

20:04.320 --> 20:09.720
So the Prime Minister's
job will be decided by the NAC.

20:09.800 --> 20:11.560
No, no, no, sir.

20:11.760 --> 20:13.800
That will be unconstitutional.

20:14.560 --> 20:17.440
NAC will advise you about matters
that are in the interest of the nation

20:18.640 --> 20:20.920
So I can decide

20:21.480 --> 20:25.360
whether I should work
for National Interest, or not?

20:27.520 --> 20:28.600
Thank you.

20:29.560 --> 20:30.360
Thank you, sir.

20:34.600 --> 20:36.880
'Finally, the PM thought about me.'

20:37.360 --> 20:39.400
'And I received a call.'

20:42.720 --> 20:45.160
Back in those days, he
was the Chairman of the UGC

20:46.000 --> 20:48.120
I did a detailed interview
about him in our first meeting.

20:48.640 --> 20:51.600
I received a call from Dr Singh's office
once the interview was published

20:52.240 --> 20:55.000
People often called me
to praise me for my article

20:55.600 --> 20:56.680
'I am a perfectionist.'

20:57.280 --> 20:58.480
Please sit.

21:00.280 --> 21:02.200
Sir, that's a really
nice tie you're wearing.

21:04.600 --> 21:07.240
Your tape recorder wasn't working.

21:07.440 --> 21:08.400
Yes, sir.

21:08.840 --> 21:09.760
Did you get it fixed?

21:10.080 --> 21:11.360
No, sir. I bought a new one.

21:13.360 --> 21:14.880
Please give it to Mr Kadhu.

21:22.800 --> 21:25.240
Did you read the interview
that you did on me?

21:26.840 --> 21:28.000
You are a journalist,

21:28.240 --> 21:30.680
you should be aware of
the conditions prevalent in the country

21:31.000 --> 21:32.160
It is a big problem.

21:32.800 --> 21:36.480
And that's why I intentionally
mentioned South Korea.

21:37.520 --> 21:39.720
We need reforms like
them in our country.

21:40.240 --> 21:45.160
Your job was to convey this to the people.
But you failed in doing so.

21:46.840 --> 21:48.640
Sir, I published
your entire interview.

21:50.040 --> 21:52.360
Maybe there was some
error at the News Desk.

21:53.280 --> 21:54.400
I will get it checked.

21:54.480 --> 21:55.680
What's the point now?

21:56.080 --> 21:57.400
And blame someone else.

21:59.200 --> 22:04.200
Mr Baru, your subordinate's
mistake is your mistake.

22:10.960 --> 22:15.160
Sanjaya, will you
be my Press Secretary?

22:17.080 --> 22:18.120
Of course, sir.

22:20.520 --> 22:21.760
But I have two conditions.

22:23.280 --> 22:25.480
I want to be your media advisor.

22:26.520 --> 22:29.920
In the age of the Internet,
Press Secretary sounds so outdated.

22:31.120 --> 22:33.280
I am okay about that.

22:33.880 --> 22:36.280
And your second condition.

22:38.560 --> 22:40.320
I will report only to you.

22:44.200 --> 22:45.680
Ma'am, you don't have
to take the trouble.

22:45.760 --> 22:47.800
Spare me the lecture on protocol.

22:48.520 --> 22:51.400
I've been making tea in my house
for the last 30 years.

22:52.480 --> 22:54.040
There's no protocol amongst family.

22:54.160 --> 22:55.000
Thank you.

22:58.560 --> 23:01.960
Other than managing the media
what else do you expect of me

23:02.680 --> 23:06.480
As the PM it often gets difficult
to stay connected to the ground.

23:07.360 --> 23:12.280
All you can see are files,
Ministers, and Bureaucrats around you.

23:12.880 --> 23:14.920
I want every piece of news.

23:15.520 --> 23:17.760
I want to hear the truth from you,

23:17.840 --> 23:21.440
without any fear, or expectation.

23:22.200 --> 23:25.000
Politics is just like Mahabharata.

23:25.800 --> 23:29.680
Sanjaya, you have
to be my eyes and ears.

23:31.360 --> 23:36.000
You can be his eyes and ears,
but what about his voice?

23:39.560 --> 23:41.200
Ma'am, this is not my turf.

23:42.360 --> 23:47.880
You may not understand this turf,
but bureaucracy is a turf war.

23:48.880 --> 23:50.680
Everyone has their
eyes on everyone.

23:51.600 --> 23:54.760
If you give them some space

23:55.080 --> 23:58.320
then the third person
will seize the opportunity

23:59.320 --> 24:03.120
And you must keep reminding him
that over and over again.

24:06.040 --> 24:08.320
'Sir's prediction
came true pretty soon.'

24:08.520 --> 24:10.040
'And it started with Mani.'

24:10.120 --> 24:11.680
Mani sir has sent this.

24:12.520 --> 24:13.600
Just a second, baby.

24:25.360 --> 24:29.640
In any PMO,
connections are very important.

24:30.240 --> 24:33.720
My connection with Doctor did
not go down well with three people

24:34.600 --> 24:35.440
Mani.

24:35.680 --> 24:38.360
Original name; JN Dixit.

24:38.800 --> 24:41.800
National Security Advisor.
An expert in foreign Policies.

24:41.920 --> 24:43.360
And my good friend.

24:44.080 --> 24:45.360
Since he was an expert,

24:45.600 --> 24:48.600
He knew everyone's job
better than them.

24:50.440 --> 24:53.320
And that's why defeating
me in a turf war is difficult.

24:53.800 --> 24:56.880
Mike, Original name M K Narayanan.

24:57.480 --> 25:01.320
By profession a spy,
former Intelligence Bureau Chief

25:01.480 --> 25:02.880
Madam's close confidante.

25:03.480 --> 25:07.720
He knew which Minister
has invested his money where.

25:08.560 --> 25:12.520
Whether he was angry or in a jolly mood,
he always said one thing to everyone.

25:13.680 --> 25:14.840
Listen.

25:18.240 --> 25:19.440
I have a file on you.

25:20.200 --> 25:22.520
Compared to Mike and Mani,

25:22.840 --> 25:26.960
Dr. Singh's Principal Secretary
TKA Nair

25:27.360 --> 25:30.400
didn't have much say.

25:33.040 --> 25:35.080
But I will get the corner office.

25:35.280 --> 25:37.000
And finally, Subu.

25:37.760 --> 25:39.400
The PM's Personal Secretary.

25:40.080 --> 25:41.680
Subu had only one passion.

25:42.320 --> 25:43.600
Astrology.

25:46.560 --> 25:50.440
But the PM has no interest
in astrology.

25:55.760 --> 25:56.880
Sir.

25:57.240 --> 25:58.440
You must look at this.

26:04.120 --> 26:08.880
For some of the briefings, we shall need
NAC's approval so what is wrong with it

26:09.760 --> 26:12.800
Sir, just like Mani
is your advisor. So am I.

26:13.800 --> 26:17.240
And sir, I requested you
that I will report only to you.

26:17.320 --> 26:18.640
Calm down. Sit.

26:18.720 --> 26:22.960
I am the only person on your entire team
who is not a bureaucrat.

26:23.640 --> 26:28.360
The 24-hour media doesn't wait
for notes, files, or approvals.

26:28.680 --> 26:31.760
If we don't reply against
a lie within 24 hours,

26:32.200 --> 26:33.720
then it's accepted as the truth, sir.

26:33.800 --> 26:36.360
Fine, I will talk to Mani.

26:41.080 --> 26:42.480
Baru.

26:43.280 --> 26:45.400
Such temper over
a routine circular.

26:45.840 --> 26:47.320
That too with friends

26:48.000 --> 26:49.520
Come on. Let's have some nice coffee.

26:57.000 --> 26:59.880
Guess who spoke to me this morning?
- Who?

27:02.000 --> 27:02.920
Natwar Singh.

27:03.000 --> 27:04.800
Ohh... what was he saying?

27:05.120 --> 27:06.720
He sounded concerned.

27:07.640 --> 27:10.720
Was saying that you're
still clearing his files.

27:11.920 --> 27:13.640
You know what, Baru,

27:14.080 --> 27:16.000
even the Foreign Secretary of America

27:16.160 --> 27:18.400
is scared of its
National Security Advisor.

27:19.640 --> 27:22.160
Let him tell the PM.
I will handle it.

27:22.960 --> 27:24.720
Anyway, stop worrying. Have...

27:26.120 --> 27:27.320
a cigar.

27:30.880 --> 27:33.360
Smoking in the PMO.
Isn't it restricted?

27:33.520 --> 27:34.960
There are no rules for us.

27:35.320 --> 27:36.920
We're the PMO.

27:37.200 --> 27:38.920
We're the PMO.

27:40.720 --> 27:44.680
Even on the 10th day, the Prime
Minister wasn't allowed to speak.

27:44.760 --> 27:47.280
I will give you
a chance after this.

27:47.360 --> 27:51.200
Sources have confirmed
that the Prime Minister speech

27:51.320 --> 27:52.840
will be tabled without reading.

27:52.920 --> 27:55.200
Maybe this will be
the first time in history.

28:02.120 --> 28:05.080
Even the 'Left Party' are pretty
angry with the Prime Minister.

28:05.160 --> 28:06.560
The Government

28:06.640 --> 28:10.200
is appointing people from private
companies in the Planning Commission.

28:10.440 --> 28:12.680
People from
Multinational Companies.

28:12.760 --> 28:16.120
Lending our support doesn't
mean we turn a blind eye.

28:16.320 --> 28:18.840
Tomorrow if you appoint Coca Cola
on the Planning Commission,

28:18.920 --> 28:20.880
do you think we'll take it lying down?

28:21.440 --> 28:25.440
'Everyone was taking advantage
of the Prime Minister's weakness.'

28:26.800 --> 28:28.360
'I had a bad habit.'

28:29.560 --> 28:34.400
'Which minister leaks news against the
Prime Minister and on whose beckon'

28:34.640 --> 28:36.440
'I would find that out
in under an hour.'

28:41.680 --> 28:46.280
How did the media learn about the
letter that Sonia ma'am wrote to me?

28:47.840 --> 28:51.640
Does this suit an intelligent
minister like you?

28:52.400 --> 28:54.320
Somebody is misleading you, sir.

28:54.480 --> 28:56.280
I haven't done anything wrong.

28:56.920 --> 29:00.120
Don't insult my intelligence.

29:00.680 --> 29:03.480
This should not be repeated again.

29:04.080 --> 29:05.360
Am I clear?

29:08.280 --> 29:09.960
Am I clear?

29:11.200 --> 29:12.600
Yes, PM sir.

29:26.840 --> 29:28.880
Sir, Jairam looked pretty upset.

29:28.960 --> 29:33.600
After a certain age, one's capacity
to face the music keeps decreasing.

29:35.200 --> 29:37.440
He will behave in the future.

29:38.920 --> 29:41.960
No, sir. Frankly, this will never stop.

29:42.760 --> 29:44.400
Something else
will leak out tomorrow.

29:44.840 --> 29:47.440
They have unwavering loyalty.

29:48.520 --> 29:50.640
Don't pass judgment.

29:52.560 --> 29:56.320
So... what should we do now?

29:56.960 --> 29:59.200
They leaked Sonia madam's letter.

30:00.360 --> 30:03.520
Now I will leak
your reply to Sonia ma'am.

30:06.720 --> 30:08.520
That will be a very bold step.

30:08.640 --> 30:09.760
I'm taking it, sir.

30:10.520 --> 30:11.840
Everyone will get the message.

30:13.000 --> 30:15.280
PMO means business.

30:15.360 --> 30:16.960
No-no-no, sir.

30:19.160 --> 30:22.280
That Dr. Singh means business.

30:40.760 --> 30:43.240
My fellow countrymen.

30:43.800 --> 30:49.080
While h... hu... humbly
addressing you...

30:49.640 --> 30:55.920
In accordance with the
duties conferred on me by you.

30:56.920 --> 31:04.040
This addressal reminds me
of a quote by Gandhiji.

31:04.640 --> 31:11.920
He used to say that he wants
to wipe tears from every eye.

31:12.680 --> 31:19.440
He used to say that before
performing any task, you must know

31:20.760 --> 31:28.720
what is your contribution to the lives
of those who are poorer than the poor?

31:32.080 --> 31:32.960
Was that okay?

31:37.760 --> 31:39.480
Now how do I answer that?

31:40.920 --> 31:42.800
Okay, let me try.

31:43.440 --> 31:46.120
No-no-no-no-no, sir.

31:47.080 --> 31:49.600
If you speak like this,
I will definitely lose my job.

31:50.240 --> 31:53.160
The Prime Minister's addressal
should reflect faith.

31:53.960 --> 31:56.000
Speak as I showed you.

31:56.160 --> 31:58.520
Take a pause at the commas.

31:59.000 --> 32:01.680
Stress more on the words
that are marked in bold.

32:03.000 --> 32:05.080
Shall we try again, sir?
- Okay.

32:07.160 --> 32:10.320
Sanjaya, how much
work does it still need?

32:14.400 --> 32:16.080
About 99%, sir.

32:16.160 --> 32:17.200
Oh no...

32:21.520 --> 32:23.880
My fellow countrymen.

32:24.600 --> 32:29.920
I am... I am humbly
addressing you...

32:37.760 --> 32:39.960
Hello.
- Sir, things went terribly wrong today.

32:40.960 --> 32:42.760
You must manage the media, sir.

32:42.880 --> 32:44.640
Will you tell me what happened?

32:44.720 --> 32:48.680
Sir, a delegation came to suggest
changes in the finance bill.

32:49.080 --> 32:53.920
Manmohan, we want some
changes in the finance bill.

32:54.080 --> 32:57.000
The PM wasn't on his seat.
He was standing.

32:57.600 --> 32:59.560
So even the delegation
had to stand.

32:59.720 --> 33:03.200
They handed over the
file to the PM while standing.

33:03.320 --> 33:07.240
And since the table wasn't high enough,
he dropped the file in a hurry.

33:08.280 --> 33:09.840
Maybe there was no time for tea.

33:10.000 --> 33:11.000
Everyone was standing.

33:11.080 --> 33:16.000
And now media is putting allegations
against him that he threw the file.

33:16.360 --> 33:18.400
Did he keep the file
down or did he throw it down?

33:18.560 --> 33:20.520
He kept it down, sir.

33:24.000 --> 33:25.520
And, what if he threw it?

33:30.720 --> 33:32.800
This is no time
to take a step back, Subu.

33:32.920 --> 33:34.800
Tell me exactly how it happened.

33:35.040 --> 33:37.000
The PM is not some rubber stamp
or a paper tiger.

33:37.120 --> 33:38.160
I am on my way.

33:39.160 --> 33:40.320
Look,

33:41.800 --> 33:47.000
the Opposition plays an important
role in Parliamentary Democracy.

33:48.720 --> 33:53.320
And if this is how you will
treat the Opposition leaders

33:54.760 --> 33:57.800
then it will be held
in contempt of the Parliament.

34:03.760 --> 34:06.440
Everyone was noticing the
change in Dr Singh's attitude.

34:07.560 --> 34:10.120
The Opposition, Congress.

34:15.600 --> 34:17.280
Everyone was surprised.

34:20.480 --> 34:22.080
Come, Mr. Navin. Sit.

34:23.160 --> 34:24.120
Sir.

34:25.400 --> 34:26.280
Yes.

34:26.360 --> 34:30.280
Even Orrisa deserves
a special package like Bihar.

34:30.960 --> 34:34.360
Money doesn't grow on trees, Navin.

34:34.440 --> 34:35.520
But sir...

34:38.000 --> 34:39.240
Social Economic.

34:39.440 --> 34:40.840
Come in, Mr. Nair.

34:41.720 --> 34:43.320
Tea/coffee for you, Mr. Navin?

34:43.560 --> 34:44.440
Sir.

34:44.680 --> 34:45.800
Thank you.

34:48.200 --> 34:49.480
Sir.

34:50.120 --> 34:55.120
This addressal reminds
me of a quote by Gandhiji.

34:55.440 --> 35:01.920
He used to say that he wants
to wipe tears from every eye.

35:02.680 --> 35:04.520
The TV speech was a fantastic idea.

35:04.760 --> 35:06.800
It had a commendable impact.
Amazing.

35:07.400 --> 35:09.960
You very well know
who wrote the speech.

35:11.520 --> 35:12.800
Right, Baru.

35:17.240 --> 35:18.600
Well done.

35:18.760 --> 35:20.160
Thank you.

35:21.200 --> 35:22.880
He's been getting applauses.

35:23.240 --> 35:25.480
What else are you
scouring the magazine for?

35:26.160 --> 35:32.200
According to Sonia,
Dr Singh should be a political PM.

35:32.560 --> 35:33.760
Can you believe it?

35:34.320 --> 35:36.120
Well, he's getting the branding.

35:36.320 --> 35:37.520
No, Mike.

35:39.360 --> 35:40.800
For this to come true,

35:40.880 --> 35:43.560
the country should hear it
from Dr. Singh and not Sonia ma'am.

35:47.400 --> 35:49.600
The government will complete
100 days in power, right?

35:51.320 --> 35:53.160
We should call
for a press conference.

35:54.800 --> 35:58.560
But, even a single mistake
won't go down well with the media.

35:59.120 --> 36:00.200
I know.

36:01.480 --> 36:06.040
PM sir is so soft-spoken.

36:07.880 --> 36:09.440
And very shy.

36:11.200 --> 36:12.880
He won't be able to handle it.

36:14.280 --> 36:16.280
All your efforts will be in vain.

36:16.400 --> 36:17.960
Nothing will be in vain.

36:20.520 --> 36:22.240
This is our opportunity, boys.

36:22.640 --> 36:25.920
Anyone can ask anything
they want to the PM.

36:27.760 --> 36:30.040
He's not afraid to
answer any question.

36:43.800 --> 36:47.520
Sir, if there's a question on Pakistan,
please speak limited about Musharraf.

36:50.120 --> 36:53.800
Mani, I am not some
kindergarten child.

36:54.680 --> 36:57.160
Just tell me the facts.

36:57.640 --> 37:02.160
And let me decide
what I want to say.

37:05.120 --> 37:07.440
PM sir, I'll take your leave.

37:13.360 --> 37:15.160
Sir, I'm leaving for
the press conference

37:15.360 --> 37:16.600
and, I think you
should freshen up too.

37:19.320 --> 37:24.320
Sanjaya, do tigers
ever brush their teeth?

37:29.000 --> 37:33.440
Please welcome our honourable
Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh.

37:39.640 --> 37:41.360
Let's start with the questions.

37:41.600 --> 37:43.320
Sir!
- Sir!

37:43.920 --> 37:46.920
It's believed that Sonia Gandhi
is the super Prime Minister.

37:47.120 --> 37:48.520
What is your opinion?

37:50.320 --> 37:54.960
Sonia is the Congress Party President

37:55.360 --> 37:58.560
and the Chairperson of UPA.

37:59.720 --> 38:05.120
But that doesn't mean
there are two power centres.

38:05.960 --> 38:08.400
Mr Prime Minister,
it's believed that

38:08.480 --> 38:12.200
if you're ever asked to do
something that you feel isn't right

38:12.400 --> 38:13.840
then you will resign.

38:14.280 --> 38:19.240
Well, madam,
your information is wrong.

38:19.720 --> 38:25.440
No one can coerce me
to tender my resignation.

38:26.120 --> 38:31.200
The Government
will fulfil its term.

38:31.960 --> 38:34.600
Sir US is opposing
our Nuclear Programme.

38:34.760 --> 38:36.400
You are scheduled
to meet President Bush.

38:36.520 --> 38:37.720
What will you say to him?

38:38.600 --> 38:44.600
I will say, Mr Bush,
Nuclear Power can be

38:45.560 --> 38:50.040
used to manufacture bombs
as well as electricity.

38:56.280 --> 38:57.920
It's just cosmetics.

38:58.560 --> 39:01.560
If public relations could get you power,
then even you could've become a minister.

39:01.720 --> 39:03.800
Don't underestimate Dr. Singh,
Mr. Patel.

39:03.920 --> 39:05.120
Underestimate.

39:06.360 --> 39:09.800
The Doctor has only one legacy,
economic reform.

39:10.160 --> 39:13.080
He shouldn't expect anything more,
nor will anything else happen.

39:13.920 --> 39:16.080
Do you think the 'Left Front'
will agree with the Doctor?

39:16.880 --> 39:18.600
It's the 21st century,
anything is possible.

39:20.920 --> 39:21.920
Mr Thakur,

39:22.920 --> 39:26.080
Politics is the game for
those who win the elections

39:27.960 --> 39:29.840
Those who don't fight
elections never win

39:45.040 --> 39:46.480
Why so serious, Mani?

39:48.640 --> 39:52.400
Why does Natwar Singh
want to go inside with the PM?

39:53.880 --> 39:56.160
PM sir should meet
with Bush all alone.

39:56.560 --> 39:58.640
So that they can set
in the new agenda properly.

40:00.560 --> 40:01.680
I have an idea.

40:09.440 --> 40:10.720
Now...
- Mr Natwar Singh.

40:23.640 --> 40:25.400
Sir, we won't get
this opportunity again.

40:25.680 --> 40:28.320
If America declares us
a nuclear state

40:28.920 --> 40:32.480
then it will clear our path for
the United Nations Security Council.

40:32.760 --> 40:36.680
It's important to end
nuclear isolation, Mani.

40:36.760 --> 40:37.880
May I come in, sir?

40:37.960 --> 40:39.360
Yes, Sanjaya, come in.

40:48.240 --> 40:52.240
Mani, can I speak with
the PM alone for a minute?

40:54.280 --> 40:55.960
I'll be outside, sir, if you need me.

41:02.400 --> 41:05.360
Pardon me, sir,
but I am afraid I've some bad news.

41:07.240 --> 41:09.640
Ex-Prime Minister Rao
passed away a while ago.

41:21.200 --> 41:23.800
He was a great personality.

41:26.160 --> 41:27.320
Indeed he was, sir.

42:20.440 --> 42:21.840
I have an important job for you.

42:23.200 --> 42:24.440
It's a sensitive issue.

42:26.000 --> 42:26.960
Tell me.

42:29.040 --> 42:31.080
Your father used to write
Mr Rao's speeches.

42:31.520 --> 42:33.080
You're close to their family.

42:33.880 --> 42:36.560
Please request them to perform
the final rites at Hyderabad.

42:41.320 --> 42:42.960
Is there an issue with Delhi?

42:45.800 --> 42:47.400
Hyderabad is his birthplace.

42:49.160 --> 42:50.640
Isn't Delhi his place of action?

42:55.200 --> 42:56.880
Don't get into all this.

42:58.080 --> 42:59.400
Just talk to his family.

43:06.840 --> 43:08.160
That's not my job.

43:15.240 --> 43:19.240
Such a treatment
with the former PM.

43:21.680 --> 43:27.400
A man who dedicated his life
to the service of the country.

43:30.240 --> 43:35.720
And as per my knowledge,
he has no family in Hyderabad.

43:38.480 --> 43:40.480
I will talk to Sonia ma'am.

43:42.880 --> 43:47.320
Sir, Ahmed Patel
is Sonia madam's voice.

43:50.880 --> 43:54.640
I guess there's not enough space
left on Raj Ghat for his tomb.

43:57.760 --> 44:04.560
Will the party decide the legacy
of a great leader like Rao sir?

44:07.520 --> 44:08.840
Not the party, sir.

44:14.440 --> 44:16.040
'Raj Ghat'

44:18.160 --> 44:21.240
I've often seen Politics
stoop pretty low.

44:22.560 --> 44:23.480
But

44:27.640 --> 44:28.520
never this much.

44:37.720 --> 44:39.840
It was another blow for Doctor Sir.

44:39.920 --> 44:42.760
When Mani died due to a cardiac arrest.

44:42.960 --> 44:45.720
Mike was now the
National Security Advisor.

44:46.920 --> 44:48.800
'Even after two severe blows,'

44:48.920 --> 44:51.040
'Dr. Singh kept moving
towards his target.'

44:51.320 --> 44:52.520
'Nuclear Deal.'

44:52.760 --> 44:56.040
'No one ever imagined that
President Bush and Dr Singh would'

44:56.280 --> 44:57.880
'become such thick friends.'

44:59.360 --> 45:02.680
'After Dr Singh's return, there was
a huge stir over the Nuclear dear.'

45:02.800 --> 45:06.760
With America.
We're not making any secret deals.

45:07.880 --> 45:09.440
This is affecting our nation's...

45:09.640 --> 45:12.440
'The Doctor was being
attacked on three fronts.'

45:13.400 --> 45:17.120
'Opposition,
Left, and his own party.'

45:19.040 --> 45:24.440
The deal you're stressing on
is beyond anyone's comprehension.

45:25.960 --> 45:28.120
But it will definitely
cripple our government.

45:29.480 --> 45:30.960
The underprivileged people
of our country

45:31.080 --> 45:32.560
have nothing to do with Nuclear energy.

45:33.600 --> 45:35.440
This is the right moment.

45:36.360 --> 45:40.640
We need nuclear energy for
the development of our country.

45:41.440 --> 45:42.800
Think of the future.

45:43.400 --> 45:46.280
We can think of the future if our
government still stays in power.

45:46.800 --> 45:50.120
Once you sign the deal,
the Left Party will stop supporting us.

45:50.640 --> 45:51.760
Our time will be over.

45:52.040 --> 45:53.560
That won't happen.

45:53.880 --> 45:59.280
President Bush has assured
to help me in every way.

46:01.440 --> 46:03.120
Oh, Doctor.

46:04.080 --> 46:05.960
And you believed a Politician.

46:08.200 --> 46:10.720
We'll talk another time. Goodbye.

46:24.080 --> 46:25.760
Bush arrived in Delhi.

46:26.320 --> 46:27.600
Both the Ministers

46:27.680 --> 46:31.560
shook hands announcing
their nuclear deal to the world.

46:32.040 --> 46:34.720
And that I included my remarks,
thank you.

46:34.960 --> 46:36.840
I have a pretty simple question.

46:36.960 --> 46:40.200
How will this deal
affect our nuclear weapons?

46:40.480 --> 46:43.360
Sir, this will not
affect our nuclear weapons.

46:43.480 --> 46:45.840
And we made that pretty
clear in the beginning.

46:46.040 --> 46:48.080
We can make anything we want.

46:48.560 --> 46:51.240
Can this deal guarantee that

46:51.400 --> 46:55.760
the price of Uranium will
decrease, and supply will increase?

46:55.920 --> 46:58.240
These debates will never end.

46:59.040 --> 47:03.040
But gentlemen,
the entire country is proud of you.

47:03.600 --> 47:07.160
You're taking an important
and crucial step.

47:09.840 --> 47:11.480
Sir...

47:15.280 --> 47:18.760
Mr Vajpayee,
would you like to add something?

47:31.080 --> 47:33.840
Vajpayee sir was an expert in
speaking volumes with his silence.

47:34.440 --> 47:35.400
Expert!

47:36.200 --> 47:39.120
He spoke volumes with just a smile.

47:40.800 --> 47:42.840
The BJP was now on our side.

47:44.600 --> 47:48.040
Indian Politics
is a strange battle.

47:48.960 --> 47:51.400
The opposition became our allies.
Our allies turned into Opposition.

47:51.840 --> 47:55.360
PM belonged to the party, but the
party didn't seem to support the PM.

47:56.640 --> 47:57.680
Do you understand?

47:58.680 --> 48:01.680
Because, even after 20 years,
I still didn't.

48:10.120 --> 48:11.320
Ram.

48:11.880 --> 48:14.520
Fantastic headlines,
man, fantastic headlines.

48:14.640 --> 48:16.200
Baru, there is a problem.

48:16.960 --> 48:18.160
N. Ram.

48:18.440 --> 48:20.720
The Hindu Newspaper's
Leftist Publisher and Editor.

48:21.120 --> 48:22.840
And a close friend
of the Left leaders.

48:22.960 --> 48:25.800
N. Ram's green light meant
Left leaders green light.

48:26.320 --> 48:29.040
Left won't support this deal.

48:31.560 --> 48:34.440
This... is a political decision.

48:37.480 --> 48:40.760
What will I tell the PM?
- To put the deal on hold.

48:41.840 --> 48:46.160
Otherwise, the Left
will withdraw their support.

48:46.960 --> 48:50.920
If they want to withdraw
their support, then they can do so.

48:54.040 --> 48:55.960
Sir, is this
your official statement?

48:56.120 --> 48:57.320
Yes.

48:58.720 --> 49:01.160
These are the same people

49:01.360 --> 49:06.240
who opposed Mr Nehru and
Indira Ma'am independent policy.

49:06.960 --> 49:10.440
They even opposed
Mr Narsimha Rao and me.

49:10.560 --> 49:15.400
Whereas we were improving
the country's economy.

49:15.600 --> 49:17.720
Prakash Karat states
that the government is

49:17.840 --> 49:20.040
compromising the nuclear
sovereignty of the country.

49:20.240 --> 49:22.040
I will sell out my country?

49:23.160 --> 49:26.160
How can they even
say such a thing for me?

49:26.320 --> 49:29.400
Sir, what will be your next step,
if they withdraw?

49:29.760 --> 49:33.120
We will put up a fight

49:33.520 --> 49:36.640
because the country comes first for me.

49:36.760 --> 49:45.200
'Anguished PM To Left: If You Want
To Withdraw, So Be It.'

49:46.880 --> 49:48.600
'Dr. Singh didn't give up.'

49:49.080 --> 49:51.200
'But, even the Left wasn't
ready to give up easily.'

49:51.520 --> 49:52.880
'People came out on the streets'

49:53.200 --> 49:55.280
'and the Left walked
out of the Parliament.'

50:01.400 --> 50:06.720
Madam, the Prime Minister made a
strong statement against the Left party.

50:08.400 --> 50:11.160
Do you want an election before time?

50:14.600 --> 50:18.440
We don't want personal conflicts.

50:20.760 --> 50:24.560
These are not the
morals of an Alliance.

50:26.240 --> 50:28.840
But madam, do you think that
the Left is being unreasonable.

50:30.880 --> 50:32.440
I don't think so.

50:34.360 --> 50:39.240
The Left Party has certain
ideologies and issues.

50:40.640 --> 50:43.720
They are simply putting
forward their opinion.

50:44.400 --> 50:47.920
And you're happy with this?
- Of course.

50:50.200 --> 50:52.240
Yes, I'll escort you down.

51:11.200 --> 51:12.440
Welcome, Doctor.

51:14.760 --> 51:18.960
Your statement was
a little out of character.

51:20.480 --> 51:22.960
Do you feel you've
crossed the line?

51:26.560 --> 51:28.920
Is it working?
- Absolutely, loud and clear.

51:32.720 --> 51:33.960
Well,

51:35.360 --> 51:38.560
I was giving a reply to the Left.

51:42.320 --> 51:45.880
And, I don't think
I crossed any line.

51:45.960 --> 51:46.960
Yes.

51:48.640 --> 51:50.720
I know

51:51.560 --> 51:54.840
what I should say or shouldn't.

51:55.880 --> 51:57.920
Sir, is the nuclear deal off?

51:58.040 --> 52:00.960
And if that's true,
then what about your government.

52:01.520 --> 52:02.800
Well,

52:04.240 --> 52:08.320
we're not a one-issue government.

52:11.520 --> 52:15.080
One has to live with
their disappoints.

52:17.880 --> 52:19.640
If this deal does not go through,

52:21.040 --> 52:23.360
then life won't come to an end.

52:36.120 --> 52:38.640
After this Doctor Sir observed silence

52:39.720 --> 52:42.160
The entire country had
only one question on their mind.

52:44.040 --> 52:46.480
Deal or no deal?

52:53.920 --> 52:54.920
Hello.

52:58.000 --> 52:59.280
Yes, sir. Right away.

53:02.480 --> 53:03.600
Yes, sir.

53:09.240 --> 53:10.440
Sorry.

53:10.800 --> 53:14.720
I didn't expect this from you,
Sanjaya.

53:16.160 --> 53:17.360
What did I do?

53:17.560 --> 53:19.880
What did you tell
the US Ambassador?

53:20.360 --> 53:21.600
About what, sir?

53:22.240 --> 53:25.200
About the Nuclear deal.
What did you tell him?

53:25.800 --> 53:28.160
Ted, how are things at the Embassy?

53:31.920 --> 53:34.280
The Ambassador wants
to know what the PM meant.

53:35.360 --> 53:37.600
What's there to add?
Whatever he said is out there.

53:41.240 --> 53:42.960
What do I think the PM meant?

53:45.200 --> 53:46.480
Probably this, Ted.

53:46.920 --> 53:48.240
Que Sera Sera.

53:48.680 --> 53:51.800
What is the meaning
of Que Sera Sera?

53:57.080 --> 54:00.200
Sir, I was not talking
in code language.

54:00.520 --> 54:03.160
Your spies gave
you wrong information.

54:04.600 --> 54:06.760
It's a song from one
of Hitchcock's films.

54:07.040 --> 54:08.400
Man Who Knew Too Much.

54:08.600 --> 54:09.920
Sung by Doris Day.

54:13.360 --> 54:16.040
But what does it mean?

54:16.680 --> 54:19.960
Que Sera Sera means
what will be will be.

54:20.400 --> 54:23.160
This is my standard answer to any
question about the nuclear deal.

54:47.160 --> 54:49.600
I want to resign.

54:50.040 --> 54:54.800
Madam, my position
has become pretty awkward.

54:56.920 --> 54:58.400
But must you give me this?

54:58.520 --> 54:59.760
Must you resign?

55:01.040 --> 55:06.320
Madam, the Left wants to see
our government's secret documents.

55:07.200 --> 55:11.240
They want to embarrass
us in the IAEA.

55:12.320 --> 55:15.880
If we compromise with the Left,

55:16.240 --> 55:21.040
then I'll no other
option but to resign.

55:21.720 --> 55:26.120
But you do know that your
resignation will create a stir.

55:26.920 --> 55:32.200
Madam, either we can ignore the
Left and go ahead with the deal

55:32.880 --> 55:37.920
or compromise with the Left
and stop the deal right here.

55:38.760 --> 55:42.120
If UPA chooses the second option,

55:43.040 --> 55:47.920
then you'll have to find
yourself a new Prime Minister.

55:48.600 --> 55:50.160
Mr. Prime Minister,

55:51.160 --> 55:53.920
such decisions are not made in haste.

55:54.120 --> 55:55.760
Think about it.

55:58.320 --> 56:00.160
There was nothing
to think actually.

56:01.280 --> 56:05.920
This Nuclear deal was bigger
than the battle of Panipat for us.

56:07.400 --> 56:10.760
And the biggest
blow came last night.

56:12.040 --> 56:13.640
At 10 Janpath.

56:14.920 --> 56:18.880
By the way, I should finish
my coffee before Pulock arrives.

56:19.960 --> 56:22.640
Could be my last one at the PMO.

56:25.040 --> 56:27.560
May I come in, sir?
- Please come in.

56:30.760 --> 56:31.880
How are you, sir?

56:32.280 --> 56:34.760
Did Sonia ma'am send you here?

56:36.080 --> 56:37.040
Yes, sir.

56:37.960 --> 56:40.600
Sir, please take your
resignation back. Sir, please.

56:41.520 --> 56:45.160
I've put my view
in front of Sonia ma'am.

56:45.320 --> 56:49.280
There's no scope for reconsideration.
Thank you.

56:52.600 --> 56:56.040
Sir, Sonia ma'am
won't let you resign.

56:56.840 --> 56:58.960
You must stick to your statement.

56:59.400 --> 57:02.280
We'll see whatever
happens to the Left.

57:02.960 --> 57:03.880
We'll see.

57:03.960 --> 57:05.680
Que Sera Sera.

57:11.280 --> 57:15.640
We sent a letter to the
President today and withdrew

57:15.760 --> 57:18.400
our support from
the UPA government.

57:18.960 --> 57:20.880
We've sent another letter

57:21.040 --> 57:27.040
where we've requested the President
to direct the Prime Minister

57:28.280 --> 57:31.960
to bring the Confidence
Motion in the Parliament

57:32.960 --> 57:36.680
and prove his
government's majority.

57:37.800 --> 57:39.720
Sir, can I talk to you alone.

57:52.920 --> 57:54.840
Sir, Mr Amar Singh wants
to talk to you.

57:55.720 --> 57:56.840
He's in the US.

57:58.600 --> 58:01.000
I think the deal
will now go through, sir.

58:01.640 --> 58:06.640
No one knows about Science
and Technology more than you.

58:07.640 --> 58:10.200
I want you to guide us.

58:10.920 --> 58:14.400
We want to take the right
decision for the country.

58:15.760 --> 58:18.280
Is this deal right?

58:18.920 --> 58:20.160
Of course, it is.

58:20.680 --> 58:24.120
Your duty is to support the deal.

58:24.560 --> 58:26.680
It's in the interest
of the country.

58:27.320 --> 58:31.080
That's all I wanted
to hear from you.

58:31.720 --> 58:34.680
Now I can explain to my people.

58:39.160 --> 58:40.400
This is Politics.

59:14.320 --> 59:17.360
The entire country is praying for

59:17.480 --> 59:19.960
Dr. Singh's good health
and quick recovery.

59:26.640 --> 59:29.840
Will Dr Singh contest the elections
from the Lok Sabha in such conditions?

59:30.200 --> 59:31.760
That's the question
on everyone's mind.

59:35.880 --> 59:39.480
'Dr. Singh had become
a hero for the entire country.'

59:40.080 --> 59:43.560
'But like every hero,
even he had a weakness.'

59:44.120 --> 59:45.200
'His own party.'

59:45.840 --> 59:47.680
'And the party's biggest
obstacle was me.'

59:48.240 --> 59:49.920
'This happened
in the earlier days.'

59:50.960 --> 59:52.720
How does it feel at the PMO?

59:53.440 --> 59:56.440
It's a challenging job,
but I am enjoying it.

59:59.880 --> 1:00:01.720
But what went down with
Mr Chandrashekhar?

1:00:02.520 --> 1:00:03.920
He seemed upset with you.

1:00:06.720 --> 1:00:11.200
After his meeting with the PM,
he announced to Telugu media

1:00:12.400 --> 1:00:14.600
that they discussed over Telangana.

1:00:16.360 --> 1:00:18.480
Whereas no such
thing ever happened.

1:00:19.840 --> 1:00:23.920
He never said a word
to the PM about Telangana.

1:00:27.960 --> 1:00:30.320
Things are often misheard
or said which leads to confusion.

1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:33.560
And, when you keep giving
clarification for every trivial issue,

1:00:33.680 --> 1:00:35.320
it just adds to the confusion.

1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:40.360
There is no confusion.

1:00:40.960 --> 1:00:43.040
I know my job, and
that's what I'm doing.

1:00:43.720 --> 1:00:46.960
Yes... some people will get angry.

1:00:47.960 --> 1:00:49.720
But what to do, Mr Patel.

1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:51.960
That's my job.

1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:55.160
But, we can't upset
the party allies.

1:00:57.880 --> 1:00:59.280
Will you take my advice?

1:01:00.480 --> 1:01:01.760
Apologies to him.

1:01:04.080 --> 1:01:06.960
Or you might have
to resign from your job.

1:01:12.160 --> 1:01:14.600
You don't have to worry
about my job, Mr Patel.

1:01:15.560 --> 1:01:17.720
I work for the PM,
and not the party.

1:01:19.120 --> 1:01:21.680
But the PM works
for the party, Baru.

1:01:24.960 --> 1:01:28.040
I'll resign the day he tells me to.

1:01:28.480 --> 1:01:29.880
Right!

1:01:30.240 --> 1:01:32.320
Dr. Singh hardly says anything.

1:01:49.400 --> 1:01:50.960
During the Nuclear deal,

1:01:51.040 --> 1:01:53.600
a new PM candidate was
being announced every day.

1:01:55.200 --> 1:01:58.320
This battle was now PM vs. Party.

1:01:59.600 --> 1:02:01.000
We were prepared.

1:02:02.520 --> 1:02:04.960
It is when I make
sparrows fight hawks

1:02:05.520 --> 1:02:07.760
that I am called Gobind Singh.

1:02:11.760 --> 1:02:15.320
Sanjaya, I cannot work like this.

1:02:16.800 --> 1:02:19.960
The media announces
a new PM every day.

1:02:21.360 --> 1:02:26.600
This news is very depressing, and
the party doesn't deny them either.

1:02:27.560 --> 1:02:30.240
I was going to bring this
up first thing tomorrow morning.

1:02:31.120 --> 1:02:32.800
Because I have a strategy.

1:02:33.400 --> 1:02:36.280
You cannot stop this news.

1:02:37.520 --> 1:02:38.720
But you can.

1:02:42.120 --> 1:02:44.760
Press Conference
sounds very defensive.

1:02:45.160 --> 1:02:47.440
I was thinking of
a political solution,

1:02:49.160 --> 1:02:52.280
These stories are being planted.

1:02:53.160 --> 1:02:54.600
There's nothing we can do about it.

1:02:55.080 --> 1:02:57.960
But maybe they've forgotten
that you're not the PM of Congress.

1:02:58.240 --> 1:03:01.760
You're the PM of the entire
UPA and their 11 Allies.

1:03:02.720 --> 1:03:04.760
And those Allies
firmly believe in you.

1:03:05.200 --> 1:03:08.160
Neither you nor I am
required to do or say anything

1:03:11.800 --> 1:03:12.760
Sir, sir, sir...

1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:14.160
Sir, is the PM resigning.

1:03:14.280 --> 1:03:15.800
Is Rahul Gandhi the
next PM of our country.

1:03:15.920 --> 1:03:17.120
What is Sonia Gandhi's next step?

1:03:17.240 --> 1:03:19.360
Tell us about your opinion.
- Please tell us, sir.

1:03:19.760 --> 1:03:21.240
It's all rumors.

1:03:22.080 --> 1:03:24.920
Manmohan Singh is the PM of UPA.

1:03:25.880 --> 1:03:28.920
And he enjoys
the confidence of every party.

1:03:29.800 --> 1:03:32.560
Replacing him is
out of the question.

1:03:32.840 --> 1:03:35.320
All the Allies are
very happy with his work.

1:03:36.680 --> 1:03:38.560
Congratulations.
- Thank you.

1:03:38.720 --> 1:03:40.680
Congratulations, sir.
- Thank you.

1:03:46.920 --> 1:03:50.480
Sir, Rahul Gandhi is coming to meet you
with the Youth Delegation.

1:03:51.200 --> 1:03:53.360
Did he take an appointment?
- No.

1:03:54.080 --> 1:03:55.520
Doesn't matter.

1:04:00.960 --> 1:04:01.960
Happy birthday, sir.

1:04:02.040 --> 1:04:03.760
Many many happy returns of the day.

1:04:09.800 --> 1:04:11.080
Happy birthday, sir.

1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:17.840
Baru.

1:04:18.760 --> 1:04:19.640
Baru.

1:04:20.960 --> 1:04:22.840
Please release this to the media.

1:04:25.960 --> 1:04:29.880
Rahul has requested the PM
to increase the rates of 'MNREGA'.

1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:32.880
And the PM is pretty happy with it.

1:04:38.160 --> 1:04:40.120
What do you mean by 'PM is happy'?

1:04:43.000 --> 1:04:45.040
The PM supports
the party's suggestion.

1:04:46.680 --> 1:04:48.280
Do you have a problem with it?

1:04:50.520 --> 1:04:51.960
The problem is...

1:04:52.960 --> 1:04:58.560
That sir has already made a public
announcement about this on 15th August.

1:05:00.560 --> 1:05:05.400
And reporters hear all, write all,

1:05:07.160 --> 1:05:09.080
and they bloody well remember too.

1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:14.400
You're a wise man.
I am sure you know that.

1:05:16.280 --> 1:05:17.400
So...

1:05:18.400 --> 1:05:20.960
Let me know if you
need me for anything else.

1:05:21.960 --> 1:05:23.280
But...

1:05:24.080 --> 1:05:25.240
please keep this.

1:05:47.200 --> 1:05:48.360
Morning, Sir.

1:05:49.520 --> 1:05:54.160
Sanjaya, how can you
do such a thing to me?

1:05:55.720 --> 1:05:59.280
MNREGA is my birthday
present to the Country.

1:05:59.960 --> 1:06:03.960
You sent such a text,
to the reporters.

1:06:04.680 --> 1:06:06.120
And to the Express.

1:06:07.480 --> 1:06:09.040
Was I wrong, Sir?

1:06:11.920 --> 1:06:14.120
Sir, how can they take credit?

1:06:15.160 --> 1:06:16.920
You're the PM of this country.

1:06:17.800 --> 1:06:20.360
What about the work done by
ministers like Raghuvansh Prasad?

1:06:20.480 --> 1:06:22.760
I don't want any credit.

1:06:23.120 --> 1:06:26.080
I'm only concerned about my job.

1:06:26.480 --> 1:06:27.680
And your image.

1:06:28.600 --> 1:06:31.560
There's no need to
keep my image straight.

1:06:31.680 --> 1:06:33.040
It is, sir.

1:06:33.960 --> 1:06:35.440
The world is watching you.

1:06:36.480 --> 1:06:40.120
If people can take credit for your work,
then what else is safe in this country?

1:06:40.240 --> 1:06:43.320
Sanjaya, please don't
be overly dramatic.

1:06:44.040 --> 1:06:45.960
Let them take all the credit.

1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:50.120
I am doing my job. You do yours.

1:06:51.320 --> 1:06:53.200
Write my speeches.

1:06:53.320 --> 1:06:59.360
Don't waste time over public
positioning and public image

1:07:01.520 --> 1:07:02.480
Thank you.

1:07:05.160 --> 1:07:06.160
Sorry, Sir.

1:07:09.280 --> 1:07:10.560
One more thing.

1:07:12.360 --> 1:07:13.360
Please come.

1:07:18.120 --> 1:07:19.720
Do you read the newspaper?

1:07:23.720 --> 1:07:24.840
Sorry, Sir.

1:07:25.440 --> 1:07:29.920
Stop worrying about the PMO's post,
and worry about yours.

1:07:32.680 --> 1:07:34.480
It's in the newspaper again.

1:07:34.960 --> 1:07:36.240
Punjab Kesari.

1:07:36.360 --> 1:07:39.600
You're being fired from the PMO.

1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:44.200
That's 3-month-old news, sir.

1:07:45.240 --> 1:07:48.760
I think you should meet Madam once.

1:07:49.960 --> 1:07:51.280
Why Madam?

1:07:51.520 --> 1:07:54.320
You must tell her that

1:07:54.440 --> 1:07:58.440
wrong articles are being planted
against you in the newspaper.

1:07:59.400 --> 1:08:01.240
And I will personally
fix your appointment.

1:08:01.360 --> 1:08:02.560
I will think about it, Sir.

1:08:03.200 --> 1:08:04.120
Okay.

1:08:06.960 --> 1:08:08.880
Baru.
- Not now, Nair. I am busy.

1:08:08.960 --> 1:08:10.240
Just a minute.

1:08:10.960 --> 1:08:13.960
The MPs called,
they were complaining about you

1:08:14.160 --> 1:08:16.520
Did you give a quote
to the newspaper?

1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:20.120
Do MPs call you as well?

1:08:20.960 --> 1:08:23.520
Yes, this is the PMO.
Anyone can call here.

1:08:25.160 --> 1:08:27.600
You should meet Madam once.

1:08:27.880 --> 1:08:31.160
I'll fix an appointment.
Sort out everything.

1:08:31.760 --> 1:08:34.400
You got to be a little
flexible in politics.

1:08:34.800 --> 1:08:36.160
Blessings are important.

1:08:37.080 --> 1:08:38.480
Unfortunately,

1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:41.520
I am not a politician,

1:08:42.120 --> 1:08:43.600
but a bloody journalist.

1:08:44.480 --> 1:08:47.360
And they rate you for your
stubbornness, not sycophancy.

1:08:49.560 --> 1:08:52.600
By the way, Nair,
you were going down.

1:08:53.360 --> 1:08:54.480
I was going up.

1:09:10.400 --> 1:09:12.520
You should reconsider
this once, Sanjaya.

1:09:13.240 --> 1:09:16.040
I can no longer play
these political games.

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:20.560
I want to resign.

1:09:21.200 --> 1:09:23.320
Are you sure?
- I am.

1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:27.840
Sir, the party won't let me do the job

1:09:28.960 --> 1:09:30.760
for which you have appointed me.

1:09:32.320 --> 1:09:34.080
And pardon me, but,

1:09:35.080 --> 1:09:38.360
you're least interested
in your image as well.

1:09:41.240 --> 1:09:44.200
I will be known for my work,
Sanjaya.

1:09:46.520 --> 1:09:49.920
What is the official reason you
have mentioned in your resignation?

1:09:51.240 --> 1:09:54.920
Sir, Tanvi has been granted admission
to the University of Singapore.

1:09:56.120 --> 1:09:58.400
And, I was thinking

1:09:58.520 --> 1:10:00.640
- I will take a job at the...
- Don't go, Sanjaya.

1:10:01.440 --> 1:10:04.080
According to me,
it is a foolish decision.

1:10:04.680 --> 1:10:06.560
I learnt it from you, Sir.

1:10:07.440 --> 1:10:09.880
Sometimes it is wise to be foolish.

1:10:14.240 --> 1:10:16.800
Will you write my speeches
from Singapore?

1:10:18.480 --> 1:10:20.080
I'll do anything for you.

1:10:25.520 --> 1:10:26.960
One more thing...

1:10:30.240 --> 1:10:33.280
Give me a hug before
you leave, boy.

1:10:42.120 --> 1:10:43.400
Take care.

1:11:15.200 --> 1:11:17.480
You're awake. How about some water?

1:11:21.240 --> 1:11:23.240
Can you pass my glasses?

1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:38.120
How are you, Sanjaya? How is Rama?

1:11:38.200 --> 1:11:40.640
They are all fine.
What about your health?

1:11:41.440 --> 1:11:44.600
I didn't suffer a heart attack.

1:11:46.240 --> 1:11:49.520
It was just a preventive surgery.

1:11:50.680 --> 1:11:53.920
All my three arteries are fine.

1:11:55.360 --> 1:11:57.480
I am fighting fit.

1:12:02.120 --> 1:12:04.040
Sir, the elections
are in three months.

1:12:05.040 --> 1:12:06.720
Your victory is guaranteed.

1:12:07.400 --> 1:12:09.800
And this time you'll contest
the elections from the Lok Sabha.

1:12:10.680 --> 1:12:12.520
What is the party's opinion?

1:12:13.120 --> 1:12:15.280
Everyone knows the truth, Sir.

1:12:16.080 --> 1:12:18.520
This election is way
out of Rahul Gandhi's league.

1:12:20.560 --> 1:12:22.360
The party is playing very safe.

1:12:23.680 --> 1:12:25.520
If you lose,
it'll be your loss alone.

1:12:25.840 --> 1:12:27.240
But if you win, they all win.

1:12:28.800 --> 1:12:30.520
How is Singapore?

1:12:31.240 --> 1:12:32.640
Don't avoid the conversation.

1:12:36.640 --> 1:12:38.760
The entire country is a fan of you.

1:12:39.280 --> 1:12:41.360
If you contest from
the Rajya Sabha again

1:12:41.480 --> 1:12:43.360
then your authority
will be undermined.

1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:48.400
We'll do as the party says.

1:12:50.520 --> 1:12:53.240
You should focus on your health.

1:12:54.720 --> 1:12:57.240
Rahul will lead
the election campaign.

1:12:58.760 --> 1:13:03.800
I cannot be just a spectator
in this election.

1:13:06.960 --> 1:13:10.800
Sir, the party thinks that it could be
risky if you lead the election campaign.

1:13:12.560 --> 1:13:18.880
We don't want to see you disappointed
like Atalji after the elections.

1:13:22.240 --> 1:13:27.720
The party thinks
I am going to lose this election.

1:13:30.200 --> 1:13:32.520
They don't have faith in me.

1:13:32.960 --> 1:13:35.560
Let's not worry about that now.
Get some sleep.

1:13:36.280 --> 1:13:37.560
But...

1:13:38.400 --> 1:13:40.040
I won't give up.

1:13:41.960 --> 1:13:43.520
Wait and watch.

1:13:48.960 --> 1:13:55.960
The country has seen
considerable development

1:13:56.960 --> 1:14:01.080
and surges in employment
in the last five years

1:14:01.560 --> 1:14:04.720
and now we must take
that program further.

1:14:10.720 --> 1:14:16.960
All we want is an opportunity in the
Central government or the State government

1:14:17.480 --> 1:14:24.080
so that our party can set examples before
the country about good governance.

1:14:24.400 --> 1:14:29.400
The effects of MNREGA can be
clearly seen throughout the country.

1:14:30.320 --> 1:14:33.280
Due to our Economic planning,

1:14:33.600 --> 1:14:39.160
we were not affected
by the Global Economic crisis.

1:14:39.560 --> 1:14:45.640
Thanks to Nuclear Deal
India is now future ready.

1:14:46.120 --> 1:14:51.760
Our dreams of progress
and change have come true.

1:14:57.640 --> 1:15:00.920
"Singh is King! Singh is King!
Singh is King!"

1:15:01.120 --> 1:15:05.320
"The world knows about it.
Singh is King! Singh is King!"

1:15:05.440 --> 1:15:08.920
"We are the king of the world!
Singh is King Singh is King"

1:15:10.560 --> 1:15:12.560
This is Mr Manmohan Singh's victory.

1:15:12.640 --> 1:15:15.640
The slogan of Singh is King is
resonating throughout the country.

1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:18.240
Congress party had
no hopes of winning.

1:15:18.360 --> 1:15:21.080
Let alone winning by a landslide of 206
votes is on a completely different level.

1:15:22.120 --> 1:15:23.360
This is a huge opportunity for you.

1:15:23.480 --> 1:15:24.960
What is your opinion
about the party's victory?

1:15:25.040 --> 1:15:26.080
Look...

1:15:26.280 --> 1:15:27.280
Listen here.

1:15:27.680 --> 1:15:33.080
Rahul Gandhi won 22 seats in UP
and revived the Congress Party.

1:15:33.320 --> 1:15:35.520
This is a win for Rahul Gandhi.

1:15:44.120 --> 1:15:46.360
Get me Baru on the line, please.

1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:53.360
It's time for him to return.

1:15:59.960 --> 1:16:01.240
Welcome back.

1:16:02.240 --> 1:16:03.920
Nice to see you.

1:16:10.160 --> 1:16:12.920
I would like to promote you,
Sanjaya.

1:16:13.840 --> 1:16:16.680
Would you like to be
a Secretary in the PMO?

1:16:17.600 --> 1:16:20.640
Sir, it's an important
position, but

1:16:21.080 --> 1:16:24.920
then I'll have to report
to the Principal Secretary...

1:16:25.040 --> 1:16:27.680
And you want to
report directly to me.

1:16:29.440 --> 1:16:32.880
I am meeting the
Prime Minister of Pakistan in Egypt.

1:16:33.560 --> 1:16:36.920
I will clear your file
when I come back.

1:16:38.560 --> 1:16:41.640
Do you have any idea about Pakistan?

1:16:45.840 --> 1:16:48.760
Sir, my advice is you shouldn't
start your second term with Pakistan.

1:16:49.000 --> 1:16:50.320
The party will interfere.

1:16:50.960 --> 1:16:52.600
It's what happened
during Musharraf's term?

1:16:53.120 --> 1:16:56.960
I think you should concentrate
on the Global Economic crisis.

1:17:06.000 --> 1:17:11.040
India is not deeply affected
by the Economic crisis, Sanjaya.

1:17:13.640 --> 1:17:17.280
I want to find a solution
for Kashmir.

1:17:18.640 --> 1:17:21.440
And, maybe I don't have much time.

1:17:22.120 --> 1:17:23.960
What do you mean by

1:17:25.920 --> 1:17:27.120
you don't have much time?

1:17:32.840 --> 1:17:34.480
What could poor Dr Singh say?

1:17:36.640 --> 1:17:39.320
There was only one news doing
rounds in the corridors of Delhi

1:17:40.880 --> 1:17:44.600
when will Dr. Singh step down

1:17:44.680 --> 1:17:48.240
and when will Rahul be coronated
as the new PM.

1:17:53.400 --> 1:17:55.160
Mr. Gilani.
- Yes.

1:17:55.640 --> 1:18:00.080
Moments erred and
years got punished.

1:18:01.400 --> 1:18:05.400
The people of India can
never forget the 26/11 incident.

1:18:06.960 --> 1:18:09.200
President Zardari
clearly said that

1:18:09.560 --> 1:18:14.120
the ISI chief will cooperate
with us in the investigation.

1:18:14.880 --> 1:18:17.080
But he never came.

1:18:18.280 --> 1:18:22.160
Dr Singh, let's give a statement on
terrorism and joint investigation.

1:18:22.800 --> 1:18:24.160
But...

1:18:24.720 --> 1:18:28.800
we have a small request just
to make our army happy as well.

1:18:29.840 --> 1:18:31.000
Please go ahead.

1:18:32.080 --> 1:18:33.240
Baluchistan.

1:18:34.840 --> 1:18:36.840
But there's nothing in Baluchistan.

1:18:37.120 --> 1:18:38.840
We'll do it if you say so?

1:18:40.240 --> 1:18:42.840
The Opposition will
raise a commotion.

1:18:43.680 --> 1:18:47.400
But it will be
acceptable to the party.

1:18:47.520 --> 1:18:49.680
This is not acceptable
to the party.

1:18:52.240 --> 1:18:56.640
Madam Chairperson,
Baluchistan is not an issue at all.

1:18:56.800 --> 1:18:59.280
But you just made it an issue.

1:19:00.120 --> 1:19:01.760
And an international one at that.

1:19:03.360 --> 1:19:08.120
All the senior ministers are of the
opinion that it was a big mistake.

1:19:09.800 --> 1:19:12.840
But we can still change the
wordings of the agreement, madam.

1:19:13.240 --> 1:19:17.360
Maybe you didn't understand
my words properly.

1:19:19.000 --> 1:19:20.320
If you...

1:19:57.160 --> 1:19:58.720
Yeah...how are things?

1:19:59.480 --> 1:20:02.600
Yes, the PM did call me,
and we even talked.

1:20:03.040 --> 1:20:07.120
But who told you that I would look
after the UPA programs in the PMO?

1:20:07.440 --> 1:20:10.080
If Chauhan said this, then he must
have done so with the PM's consent.

1:20:10.280 --> 1:20:12.440
But I cannot confirm or deny this.

1:20:14.080 --> 1:20:15.160
Your decision.

1:20:25.960 --> 1:20:29.040
Wars are never won
with wooden swords, Baru.

1:20:40.960 --> 1:20:45.040
you are unable to tackle the handle of
a cycle, how will you manage the media?

1:20:47.360 --> 1:20:49.240
Did you see today's
Business Standard?

1:20:52.280 --> 1:20:53.720
Stop lecturing me.

1:20:54.360 --> 1:20:56.960
You've been appointed
to do your job, and not talk.

1:20:57.280 --> 1:20:59.760
Don't repeat this mistake.
Now hang up.

1:21:00.240 --> 1:21:01.880
Sir, it was you who called me back.

1:21:01.960 --> 1:21:06.040
Things have gone awfully wrong after
this news was leaked in the media.

1:21:06.240 --> 1:21:07.680
But the news was
leaked from this office.

1:21:07.760 --> 1:21:09.920
There's no point
arguing over it now.

1:21:10.000 --> 1:21:13.640
Sir, this is your opportunity
to show your authority.

1:21:14.360 --> 1:21:17.080
This is your victory.
The PMO is your turf!

1:21:17.160 --> 1:21:18.840
How can you...
- Sanjaya!

1:21:21.320 --> 1:21:26.360
Politics has taught me one thing,
and you should know too.

1:21:27.640 --> 1:21:30.800
There's only one power centre.

1:21:31.680 --> 1:21:35.120
And that centre is
the Party President.

1:21:37.880 --> 1:21:38.880
What do you expect me to do now?

1:21:40.040 --> 1:21:41.680
Join the Planning Commission

1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:46.080
I'll call you back
when things cool down again.

1:21:46.880 --> 1:21:48.840
Sir, I had no interest
in a government job.

1:21:49.280 --> 1:21:50.920
I only wanted to work for you.

1:21:51.120 --> 1:21:53.120
I have an offer from Business Standard
as their Editor.

1:21:53.320 --> 1:21:56.160
That's even better than
the Planning Commission.

1:21:56.760 --> 1:21:58.960
Journalism suits you better.

1:22:00.280 --> 1:22:02.040
Nair, come in.

1:22:03.920 --> 1:22:04.960
Thank you, sir.

1:22:10.400 --> 1:22:11.720
What a weak man.

1:22:32.720 --> 1:22:37.080
A scandal that rocked
the whole nation.

1:22:38.320 --> 1:22:39.560
Tape Scandal.

1:22:40.360 --> 1:22:42.840
Conversations of Politicians,
Journalists

1:22:43.040 --> 1:22:45.640
and Power Brokers
was out in the open.

1:22:46.440 --> 1:22:48.560
How do they appoint the ministers?

1:22:49.000 --> 1:22:54.800
Everyone could hear
who the reporters actually served.

1:22:56.320 --> 1:22:58.200
Almost everyone was exposed.

1:23:05.840 --> 1:23:07.400
After the Nira Radia tapes,

1:23:07.480 --> 1:23:09.760
the country has lent their support
with the Anna Hazare's campaign

1:23:09.840 --> 1:23:12.200
against the 2G, 3G,
and Coalgate scams.

1:23:12.280 --> 1:23:14.840
And the Anna Campaign has
become the voice of the country.

1:23:14.920 --> 1:23:19.200
UPA Government may sound dismissive
about the Anna Panels Lokpal Bill.

1:23:19.280 --> 1:23:21.760
But team Anna is warning
the government that it will

1:23:21.840 --> 1:23:23.400
have to confront the Electorate.

1:23:23.480 --> 1:23:27.520
If the PM is found involved in such
corruption, then that's very shameful.

1:23:27.600 --> 1:23:32.560
The people always see how our
leader functions, how he behaves.

1:23:53.800 --> 1:23:54.800
Be seated.

1:23:57.080 --> 1:23:59.560
Would you like some tea?
- No, thank you.

1:24:01.680 --> 1:24:04.920
So Dr. Singh, tell me.

1:24:07.960 --> 1:24:09.160
Madam,

1:24:10.600 --> 1:24:14.200
I cannot continue in this way.

1:24:20.520 --> 1:24:24.480
But Dr. Singh,
with the steep rise in inflation,

1:24:24.680 --> 1:24:27.360
and the number of
corruption scams being exposed

1:24:28.080 --> 1:24:30.720
the media is
completely against us.

1:24:32.120 --> 1:24:34.880
How can Rahul take over
in a situation like this?

1:24:37.840 --> 1:24:42.320
But Madam, you must find a way.

1:24:42.840 --> 1:24:44.920
This is not the time for a change.

1:24:45.920 --> 1:24:51.120
But I have to own up
to mistakes committed by others.

1:24:52.120 --> 1:24:56.480
How will I explain
this to the people?

1:24:56.720 --> 1:24:59.120
That's not your job.

1:25:00.920 --> 1:25:07.920
The party has many competent people to
explain the people in the right away.

1:25:08.600 --> 1:25:10.320
But Madam, I think...

1:25:10.560 --> 1:25:12.640
Are you sure
you don't want a cup of tea?

1:25:17.320 --> 1:25:19.800
Look, there are two kinds of loss.

1:25:21.280 --> 1:25:23.200
Actual and Notional.

1:25:23.960 --> 1:25:27.040
The actual loss is a real loss.

1:25:27.640 --> 1:25:29.760
And a notional loss
is just notional.

1:25:29.960 --> 1:25:34.680
CAG's estimate in the 2G spectrum
scam is just a notional loss.

1:25:35.080 --> 1:25:35.880
Understand.

1:25:35.960 --> 1:25:37.080
Sir, sir, sir...

1:25:37.160 --> 1:25:38.600
Sir, sir...
- One question, sir!

1:25:38.680 --> 1:25:39.760
Sir, please!

1:25:39.840 --> 1:25:43.680
You mean to say, Sir, that the
Controller Auditor General is wrong.

1:25:43.880 --> 1:25:46.920
All I am saying is that
there have been no losses.

1:25:47.120 --> 1:25:50.720
Unbelievable, Mr. you just turned
around the entire mathematics.

1:25:50.800 --> 1:25:54.600
You turned a loss
of 17.6 billion to Zero.

1:25:55.120 --> 1:25:56.000
Sir...
- Yes.

1:25:56.120 --> 1:25:58.920
What does your mathematics
say about the coal scam?

1:25:59.000 --> 1:26:00.960
Well...what loss?

1:26:01.760 --> 1:26:04.520
When there has been no digging,
and no coal retrieved

1:26:04.600 --> 1:26:06.720
then how can there be losses?
Understand.

1:26:06.840 --> 1:26:08.120
Sir. Sir...

1:26:08.200 --> 1:26:09.560
Sir. Sir...

1:26:09.960 --> 1:26:14.480
Sir, this time you turned
18.6 billion into Zero.

1:26:17.080 --> 1:26:19.800
Things got worse in a year.

1:26:20.480 --> 1:26:23.520
Dr. Singh was being openly mocked.

1:26:24.160 --> 1:26:26.360
Jokes about him were
posted over the internet.

1:26:26.680 --> 1:26:31.160
2G, CWG and Rahulji... were
more than a match for Dr Singh.

1:26:31.600 --> 1:26:34.280
And he was completely
silent about it.

1:26:35.360 --> 1:26:38.160
And during those days weird
things started happening with me.

1:26:38.600 --> 1:26:39.960
Excuse me, Mr. Baru.

1:26:40.040 --> 1:26:41.560
Advisor to the Prime Minister.

1:26:41.880 --> 1:26:43.040
Former Advisor.

1:26:43.960 --> 1:26:45.520
What is going on, sir?

1:26:46.040 --> 1:26:48.880
Why doesn't Mr Manmohan Singh
do something? Or say something?

1:26:55.560 --> 1:26:58.080
Excuse me, Mr. Baru.
- Yes.

1:26:58.480 --> 1:27:01.280
My daughter's a journalist too.
Big fan.

1:27:03.560 --> 1:27:05.160
By the way, I have a question.

1:27:05.640 --> 1:27:07.360
Why did you quit the PMO?

1:27:08.320 --> 1:27:11.400
Come on, tell us.
I won't tell anyone.

1:27:16.400 --> 1:27:18.840
I find Dr Singh is like Bhism.

1:27:20.560 --> 1:27:22.440
With no evil.

1:27:24.240 --> 1:27:26.200
But a victim of family drama.

1:27:29.800 --> 1:27:30.960
Sir,

1:27:32.320 --> 1:27:34.320
there were two families in Mahabharata,

1:27:35.160 --> 1:27:36.320
but there's only one in India.

1:27:37.720 --> 1:27:38.520
Sir, sir, sir...

1:27:38.600 --> 1:27:40.240
Just a second. Just a second.

1:27:40.320 --> 1:27:41.800
Let me go there.

1:27:43.360 --> 1:27:48.360
There's been a lot of
debate over this ordinance.

1:27:51.080 --> 1:27:54.160
About what should be done about
this order from Supreme Court?

1:27:59.760 --> 1:28:01.320
I can't speak for others,

1:28:03.320 --> 1:28:05.680
but what I feel

1:28:07.920 --> 1:28:09.080
should be done

1:28:09.880 --> 1:28:12.440
with this ordinance.

1:28:15.720 --> 1:28:16.600
This.

1:28:20.040 --> 1:28:21.280
This is what needs to be done.

1:28:22.760 --> 1:28:24.080
Tear it up.

1:28:24.320 --> 1:28:25.600
This ordinance is nonsense.

1:28:25.840 --> 1:28:29.240
The UPA government was badly cornered
for trying to save the ordinance.

1:28:29.320 --> 1:28:31.600
The Opposition parties were
first opposing this ordinance,

1:28:31.680 --> 1:28:33.680
and now even Rahul Gandhi
has taken a stand against it.

1:28:33.960 --> 1:28:35.160
Rahul first gave a strong statement

1:28:35.240 --> 1:28:37.040
and then called this ordinance
utter nonsense

1:28:37.120 --> 1:28:40.440
and wrote a letter to the Prime Minister
asking for a reconsideration.

1:28:40.520 --> 1:28:44.480
'After Rahul's statement, the PM
talked about it to Sonia Gandhi.'

1:28:44.760 --> 1:28:48.880
We're talking to ex-media
advisor of PM, Mr Sanjaya Baru.

1:28:49.080 --> 1:28:51.720
Sir, what is your opinion
on Rahul's action.

1:28:51.800 --> 1:28:53.720
'The PM wants to resign,
says Baru.'

1:28:53.960 --> 1:28:59.240
Look, if his own party
people can't respect him

1:29:00.680 --> 1:29:03.480
then I believe that Dr Singh
should tender his resignation.

1:29:09.080 --> 1:29:10.080
Papa,

1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:12.720
Mr. Baru is right.

1:29:14.600 --> 1:29:15.960
What is the point now?

1:29:16.760 --> 1:29:18.760
How much more is the
Party going to humiliate you.

1:29:20.800 --> 1:29:22.360
Why don't you say something?

1:29:27.640 --> 1:29:30.320
Sir, there's something
I wanted to tell you.

1:29:32.240 --> 1:29:35.800
It's time to jot
down whatever I saw,

1:29:36.360 --> 1:29:40.720
heard, and understood
during my term in the PMO.

1:29:44.520 --> 1:29:46.360
Will you write about me too?

1:29:48.840 --> 1:29:52.480
Sir, writing the truth is very
crucial for the course of history.

1:29:54.480 --> 1:29:55.960
You're a genius,

1:29:57.480 --> 1:30:02.040
And it really pains me
when people laugh at you.

1:30:04.720 --> 1:30:07.880
I will write what I saw.

1:30:09.240 --> 1:30:10.520
About me too?

1:30:11.720 --> 1:30:13.440
I will do it sincerely.

1:30:15.680 --> 1:30:17.120
Even the bitter truth?

1:30:19.960 --> 1:30:21.040
That too.

1:30:22.520 --> 1:30:23.800
Maybe just that one.

1:30:25.680 --> 1:30:29.560
Sir, I don't know all
the aspects of the truth.

1:30:31.280 --> 1:30:34.400
In fact, I don't know
how many aspects are there.

1:30:36.040 --> 1:30:37.400
Except for yours and mine.

1:30:38.200 --> 1:30:39.640
I'll write our truth.

1:30:41.520 --> 1:30:44.960
Will you write about
this meeting as well.

1:30:49.960 --> 1:30:51.040
Come.

1:30:58.960 --> 1:31:00.440
I miss you, Sanjaya.

1:31:03.960 --> 1:31:08.560
I have a job for you,
which only you can do.

1:31:09.080 --> 1:31:10.040
Tell me, sir.

1:31:11.640 --> 1:31:15.680
My last press conference
is on the 3rd of January.

1:31:17.840 --> 1:31:19.280
What should I say to the nation?

1:31:20.720 --> 1:31:22.080
What about your speechwriters, sir?

1:31:22.280 --> 1:31:25.880
I wouldn't tell you
if it was their cup of tea.

1:31:27.920 --> 1:31:32.960
You must be my voice
for one last time.

1:31:36.960 --> 1:31:39.080
PM sir, you must be very aggressive.

1:31:39.800 --> 1:31:43.400
Elections are around the corner, and
the press would want to corner you.

1:31:44.680 --> 1:31:46.640
You must deflect all
the attacks on Rahul.

1:31:49.880 --> 1:31:52.400
That I cannot do.
- I am there, sir.

1:31:52.800 --> 1:31:55.960
I'll write your speech.
You will understand everything.

1:32:01.080 --> 1:32:03.800
The party wants to make
Dr Singh a liability.

1:32:05.200 --> 1:32:08.200
And, I will never let that happen.

1:32:13.880 --> 1:32:18.320
I don't want a third term.

1:32:23.120 --> 1:32:27.600
In a few months time,
after the general elections

1:32:29.120 --> 1:32:35.880
I will hand over this
post to the new Prime Minister.

1:32:39.560 --> 1:32:46.800
I hope he will be
a Pm chosen by the UPA

1:32:48.720 --> 1:32:55.640
and our party will keep
working in that direction.

1:32:57.440 --> 1:33:05.160
I firmly believe,
that our new generation leader

1:33:06.640 --> 1:33:11.800
will take this country ahead.

1:33:15.960 --> 1:33:17.640
Sir, is this a goodbye?

1:33:21.480 --> 1:33:23.920
Sir, you never said anything
against any corruption scandal.

1:33:24.000 --> 1:33:26.800
Would you like to comment on it?
- What is your opinion?

1:33:27.200 --> 1:33:29.240
Will Rahul Gandhi
be the next PM candidate?

1:33:30.080 --> 1:33:32.120
Have you been made
a sacrificial lamb?

1:33:36.080 --> 1:33:40.720
I am sure that history

1:33:42.560 --> 1:33:48.960
won't look at me from
the media's point of view.

1:34:35.360 --> 1:34:37.840
India doesn't need one
watchman to stand guard.

1:34:38.360 --> 1:34:43.960
India needs millions of guards.

1:34:52.760 --> 1:34:56.280
A few days ago Prince Charming
was here.

1:34:57.560 --> 1:35:00.680
These days he keeps thinking
about me, day and night.

1:35:02.040 --> 1:35:06.720
The elections are for India, and he's
holding me accountable for Gujarat.

1:35:11.960 --> 1:35:15.520
You people did nothing, but I will.

1:35:15.640 --> 1:35:19.160
I will give you power.
I will give you knowledge.

1:35:19.480 --> 1:35:20.960
'Long live...'

1:35:21.040 --> 1:35:23.320
The government run by
Mom Son duo is virtually out

1:35:25.800 --> 1:35:31.880
Even the jailbirds
can't save Congress.

1:35:34.160 --> 1:35:37.160
I request you to stay
for 10 more minutes.

1:35:37.240 --> 1:35:39.400
Please hear what Rahul has to say.

1:35:41.200 --> 1:35:42.440
Can you take back this election,

1:35:42.520 --> 1:35:44.600
or you have already lost it
before it begun.

1:35:45.280 --> 1:35:47.280
Because most of the
survey are saying...

1:35:47.600 --> 1:35:49.960
Congress will be reduced
to its lowest ever tally.

1:36:00.920 --> 1:36:02.400
What have you written?

1:36:03.240 --> 1:36:05.080
Did you read it?
- Not yet.

1:36:05.480 --> 1:36:08.280
Dr Singh has been reading
every single line since morning.

1:36:08.800 --> 1:36:10.080
What did you write?

1:36:10.360 --> 1:36:12.880
Did he say anything? Is he happy?

1:36:13.240 --> 1:36:14.280
Seems like it.

1:36:14.560 --> 1:36:15.760
Come and meet him.

1:36:15.960 --> 1:36:17.280
I am boarding my flight now.

1:36:17.520 --> 1:36:18.960
I'll call as soon as I land.

1:36:20.520 --> 1:36:22.840
'Just like Bheeshm, Dr Singh
too committed the same mistake.'

1:36:23.960 --> 1:36:25.720
'He too put the family first'

1:36:27.360 --> 1:36:31.560
'He took a step back so
that Rahul could move ahead.'

1:36:33.320 --> 1:36:35.360
'The family was more important
to him than the party.'

1:36:36.400 --> 1:36:39.680
'Maybe that was his biggest mistake.'

1:36:55.080 --> 1:36:57.640
Does Dr Singh know
that I want to talk to him...

1:36:57.720 --> 1:36:59.840
That Sanjaya Baru
wants to talk to him?

1:37:01.800 --> 1:37:03.440
Boss, are you sure, because...

1:37:06.480 --> 1:37:08.080
PMO will give its reply tomorrow.

1:37:08.840 --> 1:37:09.680
What?

1:37:10.440 --> 1:37:11.480
Hello.

1:37:12.400 --> 1:37:13.400
Hello.

1:37:16.960 --> 1:37:20.240
Baru, bad news.
The book sales are down.

1:37:20.960 --> 1:37:24.760
I thought if we release it during the
elections, it will attract good sales.

1:37:25.160 --> 1:37:27.160
But I think my plan
doesn't seem to be working.

1:37:29.640 --> 1:37:31.520
Hello. What's wrong?

1:37:32.120 --> 1:37:33.440
Where are you lost?

1:37:36.080 --> 1:37:39.840
It's been three days, and
Dr Singh hasn't called back yet.

1:37:41.880 --> 1:37:45.160
Sanjaya Baru's book,
The Accidental Prime Minister

1:37:45.240 --> 1:37:47.120
was written for personal interest.

1:37:47.360 --> 1:37:52.440
We completely deny all its facts.

1:37:53.320 --> 1:37:57.560
It harms the respect
of a responsible post.

1:37:57.920 --> 1:38:01.880
Sanjaya Baru has betrayed
the PMO by writing this book.

1:38:09.120 --> 1:38:12.640
Congrats, Mr Baru.
The PMO has done your job for you.

1:38:12.840 --> 1:38:15.200
Book sales are an all-time high.

1:38:15.440 --> 1:38:17.600
Now start writing
your next book pretty soon.

1:38:23.120 --> 1:38:28.160
So what if I get a bad name,
at least I'll get a name... Mr Patel.

1:38:58.360 --> 1:38:59.520
Dr. Singh.

1:39:00.480 --> 1:39:01.520
Dr. Singh.

1:39:02.480 --> 1:39:03.480
Sir!

1:39:32.240 --> 1:39:34.080
We never met again.

1:39:35.520 --> 1:39:39.640
I still wonder how accurate

1:39:40.720 --> 1:39:42.240
he found my truth to be.

1:39:47.960 --> 1:39:51.280
Maybe I will get my answer.
Maybe not.

1:39:52.840 --> 1:39:58.880
But I will never regain
what I lost in Dr Singh.

1:40:53.120 --> 1:40:56.200
"The word 'Aum' is nothing
but a misconception."

1:40:57.960 --> 1:41:00.400
"The word 'Aum' is nothing
but a misconception."

1:41:00.480 --> 1:41:03.960
"The word 'Aum'..."

1:41:05.040 --> 1:41:08.960
"'Aum' defines a sacred sound,
an entity and a posture."

1:41:09.800 --> 1:41:13.640
"'Aum' is a statement, an
exclamation and an announcement."

1:41:14.680 --> 1:41:16.960
"'Aum' is a lecture and a speech."

1:41:17.160 --> 1:41:19.520
"'Aum' is a roar and a reprimand."

1:41:19.600 --> 1:41:21.960
"'Aum' is a comfort and a gossip."

1:41:22.040 --> 1:41:24.320
"'Aum' is a cry, a scream
and a shriek."

1:41:24.400 --> 1:41:26.720
"'Aum' is a gesture and a signal."

1:41:26.800 --> 1:41:29.280
"'Aum' is a slogan."

1:41:29.360 --> 1:41:31.800
"'Aum' is a slogan."

1:41:31.920 --> 1:41:34.320
"'Aum' is a slogan."

1:41:34.400 --> 1:41:36.680
"'Aum' is a slogan."

1:41:36.760 --> 1:41:38.960
"'Aum' is everything."

1:41:39.280 --> 1:41:42.280
"'Aum' is nothing."

1:41:42.960 --> 1:41:46.080
"'Aum' defines a sacred
sound, an entity"

1:41:46.160 --> 1:41:49.480
"and a posture."

1:41:51.560 --> 1:41:53.720
"It defines happiness."

1:41:54.080 --> 1:41:56.520
"It defines the ruination
of our enemies."

1:41:56.800 --> 1:42:00.920
"It's like a wallop."

1:42:01.680 --> 1:42:06.280
"The heads of the opposition will
be the beads of your necklace."

1:42:06.640 --> 1:42:10.760
"They will help you
chant the sacred word."

1:42:11.600 --> 1:42:16.880
"We will put up an act
and deceive people."

1:42:18.560 --> 1:42:22.920
"We are as sharp as
a lion's teeth and a bear's claws."

1:42:23.800 --> 1:42:28.040
"My grandson shall
always rule this country."

1:42:40.480 --> 1:42:42.800
"'Aum' is the sound
of flowing air."

1:42:42.960 --> 1:42:45.160
"It's the sound of banging
the iron on the enemy's chest."

1:42:45.240 --> 1:42:47.520
"It's the sound of banging
the iron on the enemy's chest."

1:42:47.840 --> 1:42:50.120
"'Aum' is the sound
of flowing air."

1:42:50.320 --> 1:42:52.560
"It's the sound of banging
the iron on the enemy's chest."

1:42:52.760 --> 1:42:55.040
"'Aum' defines the wrath."

1:42:55.280 --> 1:42:57.400
"It defines the might."

1:42:57.680 --> 1:43:00.080
"It defines the trigger."

1:43:00.240 --> 1:43:02.120
"It defines the pistol's end."

1:43:02.520 --> 1:43:04.920
"It is a dollar,
and so is it a ruble."

1:43:05.000 --> 1:43:07.160
"It's a pound."

1:43:07.480 --> 1:43:09.720
"It's a sound."

1:43:09.960 --> 1:43:12.240
"It's a sound."

1:43:12.360 --> 1:43:14.680
"It's a sound."

1:43:14.840 --> 1:43:17.200
"It's a sound."

1:43:19.880 --> 1:43:22.280
"It is the hearth"

1:43:22.640 --> 1:43:24.920
"where different bricks are made."

1:43:25.080 --> 1:43:29.160
"It's cherished by the wise
as well as the fools."

1:43:29.560 --> 1:43:31.840
"It's Goddess Durga!"

1:43:32.000 --> 1:43:34.440
"It's a star!"

1:43:34.520 --> 1:43:36.720
"It's Goddess Durga!"

1:43:36.920 --> 1:43:39.480
"It's a star!"

1:43:39.760 --> 1:43:44.160
"It's a stomach
that stores the ocean."

1:43:44.680 --> 1:43:49.040
"It's a stomach
that stores the ocean."

1:43:51.840 --> 1:43:53.000
'Cut! Superb!'
