[00:00:00] Namaskar, Welcome to another episode of editorial. Now according to a report from the Election Commission of India, the Election Commission of India says that outside of electoral bonds, beyond electoral bonds, Bharati Janata Party got 2,224 Crores as various electoral trusts and
[00:00:29] funds, 2,224 Crores outside of electoral bonds. Let's talk about that. Let's talk about what happens when a political party is flooded with money. What happens to the nation? Let's talk about it. Let's get right to the show.
[00:00:53] Now according to Election Commission Report, Election Commission says that outside of electoral bonds, over and above electoral bonds, Bharati Janata Party received Rs. 2,243 Crores.
[00:01:15] This is what some report says. Some report says 2,224 Crores. Somewhere same. This is what Election Commission says.
[00:01:25] Election Commission says that BJP received 2,224 Crores. BRS 584 Crores. BRS K. Chandrasekar Rao of Telangana received 580 Crores.
[00:01:38] So Congress received 289 Crores. So Congress received 289 Crores. YSRP received 184 Crores. TDP received 100 Crores. DMK 60 Crores.
[00:01:47] AAP 11 Crores and TMC 6 Crores. This is what the report says.
[00:01:53] And some report further says that the Covaxin maker Bharat Biotech International limited contributed 50 Crores to Bharatiya Janata Party during the financial year 2023-24.
[00:02:09] This was part of the 2,224 Crores which they received.
[00:02:15] So that is what some people say.
[00:02:19] Now you know what?
[00:02:21] And my point is,
[00:02:24] I am not going to talk about corporates giving money.
[00:02:26] And then one knows why corporate gives money.
[00:02:30] It is not that corporate feels,
[00:02:31] Oh, this is a lovely party I am fighting for.
[00:02:34] That is not normally how it happens.
[00:02:36] Corporate gives money because they want to maintain relationship.
[00:02:39] They want to maintain liaising with a particular political party.
[00:02:43] And especially the political party in power so on and so forth.
[00:02:46] This is what this is given.
[00:02:47] So I don't want to talk much about it.
[00:02:48] Let's keep that aside.
[00:02:51] Let's talk about what happens when a political party is flooded with money.
[00:02:59] Now, mind you,
[00:03:00] a BRS who is almost obliterated from Telangana currently,
[00:03:06] his political career is in doldrums.
[00:03:08] He got a donation of,
[00:03:10] or that party got a donation of 580 Crores.
[00:03:13] You see,
[00:03:14] what happens when a political party has monies like this,
[00:03:18] huge monies,
[00:03:19] 2000 Crores,
[00:03:20] 3000 Crores.
[00:03:21] This is exclusive of electoral bonds.
[00:03:24] If a political party has that kind of money,
[00:03:26] what that political party can do
[00:03:28] is that political party can dominate the media space.
[00:03:35] If it dominates the media space,
[00:03:38] it can come and create a top of mind recall
[00:03:41] on the voters mind.
[00:03:45] It can create a top of mind recall in the voters mind
[00:03:49] and the fact that they can use the media,
[00:03:52] like we seeing it being used,
[00:03:54] to create a narrative that they want you to consume.
[00:03:59] They can create a narrative which they want you to believe.
[00:04:04] They can camouflage everything that goes wrong
[00:04:07] by creating a narrative which you believe.
[00:04:12] And that narrative can ensure
[00:04:15] that you blindly follow that particular political party,
[00:04:20] follow that particular ideology
[00:04:21] and vote for that particular ideology
[00:04:24] because of the sheer money and presence
[00:04:29] that they spread
[00:04:32] in that particular constituency,
[00:04:34] economy,
[00:04:35] whatever you call it,
[00:04:36] or country in this case.
[00:04:38] You normally get guided with that
[00:04:42] and that ensures
[00:04:45] that at some point in time
[00:04:48] you go out and vote for that particular party,
[00:04:51] and then
[00:04:52] by the time
[00:04:54] you realize
[00:04:55] that you voted for a party
[00:04:57] and that party
[00:04:58] is almost like monopoly,
[00:05:01] it becomes too late.
[00:05:03] I'll give you an example.
[00:05:06] You see,
[00:05:08] Coke
[00:05:09] is a large cola brand.
[00:05:12] Now,
[00:05:13] Coke spends a hell of a lot of money.
[00:05:15] So,
[00:05:16] as a marketeer,
[00:05:17] if somebody were to ask me
[00:05:18] that,
[00:05:18] you know,
[00:05:19] shall I enter the cola market in India?
[00:05:21] I would say,
[00:05:21] are you mad?
[00:05:23] Do you have that kind of money?
[00:05:25] Don't enter,
[00:05:26] Baba,
[00:05:26] you will not even stand a day.
[00:05:28] Why?
[00:05:29] Because Coke has that kind of money to splurge.
[00:05:31] There's that kind of money to splurge on advertising.
[00:05:34] They have kind of money to splurge on marketing.
[00:05:37] That kind of money to splurge on sales and distribution.
[00:05:40] They have that kind of money
[00:05:41] to ensure that they wipe you out of the market.
[00:05:46] Who can compete them?
[00:05:47] A Pepsi.
[00:05:47] Why?
[00:05:48] Because Pepsi is almost equally cash rich.
[00:05:52] Pepsi can compete a Coke
[00:05:54] and Coke can compete a Pepsi.
[00:05:57] But tomorrow,
[00:05:58] if I come with Sujit Nair Cola,
[00:05:59] it will not work
[00:06:00] because neither do I have the money
[00:06:02] nor the muscle
[00:06:03] nor the capacity
[00:06:04] to fight them.
[00:06:05] Which means what?
[00:06:07] Which means
[00:06:07] a free entry,
[00:06:09] free exit
[00:06:09] that we say
[00:06:10] in a market like ours.
[00:06:12] That is just a myth.
[00:06:13] It is not reality.
[00:06:14] There is no free entry and free exit.
[00:06:17] Only the rich
[00:06:18] can sell their products.
[00:06:20] The poor cannot.
[00:06:22] A person who doesn't have money cannot.
[00:06:25] Now that's also going to happen
[00:06:27] with political parties, no?
[00:06:29] Till such time
[00:06:30] it is Coke and Pepsi
[00:06:31] and others and all
[00:06:32] it is okay.
[00:06:32] But when it is political party
[00:06:34] it is your life.
[00:06:36] If one political party
[00:06:38] has so much money
[00:06:40] that it can
[00:06:41] create narrative,
[00:06:43] it can
[00:06:43] create markets,
[00:06:44] it can
[00:06:45] create volunteers,
[00:06:46] it can
[00:06:47] create campaign,
[00:06:48] it can
[00:06:48] create
[00:06:49] an environment
[00:06:50] that is conducive to it,
[00:06:52] then what happens
[00:06:54] to the competition?
[00:06:56] What happens
[00:06:57] to an honest
[00:06:58] good leader
[00:06:59] who wants
[00:07:00] to fight
[00:07:01] the election
[00:07:01] and serve you?
[00:07:03] What happens
[00:07:04] to him or her?
[00:07:05] How does he or she
[00:07:06] even get
[00:07:07] his
[00:07:07] or her voice heard?
[00:07:10] Where will we go?
[00:07:13] 600 meetings,
[00:07:15] 60,000 meetings,
[00:07:16] 70,000 meetings.
[00:07:18] These are the kind
[00:07:19] of meetings
[00:07:20] that are happening
[00:07:20] to promote
[00:07:21] a particular
[00:07:22] political party.
[00:07:23] Why?
[00:07:23] They have the money.
[00:07:27] A poor party
[00:07:28] with a few honest
[00:07:30] people,
[00:07:31] if they really
[00:07:31] want to come
[00:07:32] to you,
[00:07:33] they will not
[00:07:33] even afford
[00:07:34] six meetings.
[00:07:35] They can't.
[00:07:36] How is it?
[00:07:39] Permission
[00:07:40] who will pay
[00:07:41] the money
[00:07:42] for permission?
[00:07:42] Who will pay
[00:07:43] the money
[00:07:43] for chairs?
[00:07:43] Who will pay
[00:07:44] the money
[00:07:44] for stage?
[00:07:45] Who will pay
[00:07:45] money for the
[00:07:45] loudspeaker?
[00:07:46] Who will pay
[00:07:47] money?
[00:07:47] They don't
[00:07:47] have the money.
[00:07:48] They can't reach you.
[00:07:49] Which means,
[00:07:50] chances are,
[00:07:51] a good person
[00:07:52] who genuinely
[00:07:52] wants to serve you,
[00:07:54] gone.
[00:07:54] Can't reach you.
[00:07:55] A political party
[00:07:57] that has got money
[00:07:58] will reach you.
[00:08:00] That is problem
[00:08:02] number one.
[00:08:02] Let me tell you
[00:08:03] problem number two.
[00:08:05] Who pays this
[00:08:06] political party?
[00:08:08] Does political party
[00:08:09] go into business
[00:08:10] that it sells
[00:08:11] a product or
[00:08:12] services and
[00:08:13] then earns money
[00:08:14] and then that
[00:08:14] this company
[00:08:19] paid so and so
[00:08:20] money to
[00:08:20] political party?
[00:08:22] When a company
[00:08:23] pays money
[00:08:24] to political
[00:08:25] party,
[00:08:26] what do you
[00:08:26] think that
[00:08:27] company is going
[00:08:28] to expect
[00:08:28] after the
[00:08:29] political party
[00:08:30] comes to power?
[00:08:33] Wouldn't that
[00:08:33] company expect
[00:08:34] return favors?
[00:08:36] Are you
[00:08:37] trying to tell
[00:08:38] me that
[00:08:39] all these
[00:08:40] companies who
[00:08:41] pay these
[00:08:42] political parties
[00:08:42] in power are
[00:08:43] all doing it
[00:08:44] for the love
[00:08:44] of this country?
[00:08:47] Really?
[00:08:48] Is that what
[00:08:49] happens?
[00:08:51] So,
[00:08:52] somewhere down
[00:08:52] the line,
[00:08:53] if you have
[00:08:53] companies paying
[00:08:55] political parties
[00:08:56] huge amount
[00:08:56] of money in
[00:08:57] some form or
[00:08:58] another,
[00:08:59] they too
[00:09:00] are trying to
[00:09:01] create monopoly,
[00:09:03] they too are
[00:09:04] trying to
[00:09:05] create situations,
[00:09:07] policies which
[00:09:09] ensures that
[00:09:10] they are the
[00:09:12] only choice
[00:09:12] for the
[00:09:13] consumers.
[00:09:15] So,
[00:09:16] a party,
[00:09:17] a political
[00:09:17] party which
[00:09:18] has got huge
[00:09:19] amount of
[00:09:19] money creates
[00:09:20] monopoly for
[00:09:21] itself and
[00:09:22] then it starts
[00:09:23] creating monopoly
[00:09:24] around it.
[00:09:26] So,
[00:09:27] the companies
[00:09:27] that funds
[00:09:28] it is the
[00:09:29] first to ask
[00:09:29] for monopoly
[00:09:30] and possibly
[00:09:31] get it.
[00:09:32] I am not
[00:09:33] saying therefore
[00:09:33] it is happening
[00:09:34] today.
[00:09:35] I am saying
[00:09:35] look at this
[00:09:36] as a possibility
[00:09:37] and a very
[00:09:38] real possibility.
[00:09:40] A very
[00:09:41] real possibility.
[00:09:43] You have
[00:09:44] companies creating
[00:09:44] monopoly.
[00:09:46] company,
[00:09:47] you have no
[00:09:47] choice but to
[00:09:48] buy what the
[00:09:49] company says
[00:09:50] that you have
[00:09:50] to buy.
[00:09:52] You have no
[00:09:53] choice but to
[00:09:54] go with one
[00:09:55] service provider.
[00:09:56] You have no
[00:09:57] choice but to
[00:09:58] go with the
[00:10:00] content that
[00:10:01] that service
[00:10:01] provider provides
[00:10:02] you with.
[00:10:04] You have no
[00:10:05] choice but to
[00:10:06] read what
[00:10:07] that particular
[00:10:07] printer or
[00:10:09] publisher wants
[00:10:10] you to read.
[00:10:11] you have no
[00:10:13] choice but to
[00:10:15] prescribe to
[00:10:16] whatever that
[00:10:18] particular service
[00:10:19] provider wants
[00:10:20] you to prescribe.
[00:10:22] This is where
[00:10:23] you stand.
[00:10:24] So,
[00:10:25] the choice
[00:10:26] says go
[00:10:27] slimmer.
[00:10:28] Another very
[00:10:29] important point.
[00:10:31] What happens
[00:10:31] when you have
[00:10:33] a monopolistic
[00:10:35] political party,
[00:10:37] a monopolistic
[00:10:38] corporate
[00:10:39] company,
[00:10:41] what do
[00:10:42] you do
[00:10:42] then?
[00:10:44] Then,
[00:10:45] the
[00:10:45] constitutional
[00:10:47] bodies like
[00:10:49] enforcement
[00:10:50] directorate or
[00:10:51] CBI or
[00:10:52] police,
[00:10:53] these
[00:10:53] constitutional
[00:10:54] bodies which
[00:10:54] are actually
[00:10:55] bodies with
[00:10:56] power who
[00:10:57] can pick you
[00:10:58] up and put you
[00:10:58] behind bars,
[00:10:59] these bodies
[00:11:00] no longer
[00:11:01] work for you,
[00:11:02] the people
[00:11:02] of India.
[00:11:03] They could
[00:11:04] start working
[00:11:05] for the
[00:11:06] political
[00:11:06] parties.
[00:11:08] The political
[00:11:09] parties will
[00:11:10] use them as
[00:11:11] their tool
[00:11:13] because
[00:11:13] who is there
[00:11:17] to ask?
[00:11:19] Opposition
[00:11:19] is weak.
[00:11:20] No money
[00:11:20] to the
[00:11:21] opposition,
[00:11:21] no seats
[00:11:22] in the
[00:11:23] assembly,
[00:11:24] no seats
[00:11:24] in the
[00:11:25] parliament.
[00:11:25] Opposition
[00:11:26] is weak.
[00:11:26] People are
[00:11:27] not going
[00:11:28] to listen
[00:11:28] to the
[00:11:29] opposition
[00:11:29] because the
[00:11:29] media will
[00:11:30] create a
[00:11:31] narrative.
[00:11:31] It will
[00:11:32] be forgotten
[00:11:32] very soon.
[00:11:33] There will
[00:11:34] be news
[00:11:34] which is
[00:11:35] conducive to
[00:11:36] what the
[00:11:36] political
[00:11:37] party wants,
[00:11:37] what the
[00:11:38] political party
[00:11:38] in power
[00:11:39] wants.
[00:11:39] Who is
[00:11:39] going to
[00:11:40] know?
[00:11:40] So if
[00:11:41] I start
[00:11:41] using ED,
[00:11:44] IT,
[00:11:45] CBI,
[00:11:46] etc.,
[00:11:46] etc.,
[00:11:46] etc.,
[00:11:47] to my
[00:11:48] political
[00:11:48] benefit,
[00:11:48] how does
[00:11:49] it matter?
[00:11:50] Who is
[00:11:50] going to
[00:11:51] question?
[00:11:52] That's one.
[00:11:53] The second
[00:11:54] thing is,
[00:11:55] you know,
[00:11:55] what is
[00:11:55] going to
[00:11:55] happen to
[00:11:56] your
[00:11:56] constitutional
[00:11:56] bodies
[00:11:57] if a
[00:11:58] political
[00:11:58] party
[00:11:59] constantly
[00:12:08] raids
[00:12:09] an ED
[00:12:10] officer
[00:12:10] in
[00:12:11] Shimla?
[00:12:12] He was
[00:12:13] almost
[00:12:13] arrested.
[00:12:14] They
[00:12:14] raid him
[00:12:14] for some
[00:12:15] bribe
[00:12:16] that he
[00:12:16] collected.
[00:12:17] The point
[00:12:18] is,
[00:12:19] today,
[00:12:20] you ask
[00:12:21] a CBI
[00:12:21] to raid
[00:12:22] a person,
[00:12:22] you ask
[00:12:23] a CBI
[00:12:23] to arrest
[00:12:25] a person
[00:12:25] on political
[00:12:26] vendetta,
[00:12:27] you ask
[00:12:28] the ED
[00:12:28] to raid
[00:12:28] somebody
[00:12:29] because of
[00:12:29] political
[00:12:30] vendetta,
[00:12:30] do you
[00:12:31] think 10
[00:12:31] times
[00:12:31] they will
[00:12:32] do the

[00:14:38] who
[00:14:38] go
[00:14:38] against

[00:14:38] it
[00:14:40] is
[00:14:40] not

[00:14:41] party
[00:14:42] so
[00:14:42] then
[00:14:42] where
[00:14:43] does
[00:14:43] this
[00:14:43] money
[00:14:44] go
[00:14:44] and
[00:14:47] how
[00:14:47] is
[00:14:47] this
[00:14:48] money
[00:14:48] spent
[00:14:48] the
[00:14:51] fact
[00:14:52] remains
[00:14:52] that
[00:14:52] if
[00:14:53] this
[00:14:53] money
[00:14:54] is
[00:14:54] spent
[00:14:54] to
[00:14:55] create
[00:14:56] a
[00:14:56] country
[00:14:56] believe me you see yourself from 10 years from today
[00:15:01] see yourself from 10 years from today
[00:15:05] and the fact that
[00:15:06] how can you rule out the possibility of an election being just bought
[00:15:12] with money
[00:15:15] three big companies come together and decide that we are going to make this political
[00:15:20] party the next government of our country why they can't do it
[00:15:24] if they are willing to spend that kind of money the point that i am trying to make
[00:15:32] is money in election is now a reality and like i always say and i always try
[00:15:41] to do
[00:15:42] for our democracy
[00:15:44] to remain a democracy i think we need to understand this fact i think we need to understand
[00:15:54] the fact that there has to be a process there has to be a way where we promote people
[00:16:00] who have no money but are great representatives but could turn into a great administrators
[00:16:08] we should do that
[00:16:11] if we just follow the bandwagon and we go by the glitz and glamour that a political party
[00:16:17] throws at you and follows that particular political party unless and until that member
[00:16:23] who is doing that is a good person is a good administrator is a great administration it's a
[00:16:28] different issue i am not talking about any particular political party per se but the fact remains that
[00:16:34] unless and until that person who representing that particular political party is a good person
[00:16:40] just because he had huge campaigns huge rallies huge money spent huge parties huge gifts huge offers if we go by that
[00:16:55] i am guaranteeing you we are going to reach the end of the road as far as democracy is concerned
[00:17:05] that's the point i wanted to make today till i see you next time that's tomorrow at 10
