00:00You've also had a bunch of productive meetings with several other folks on your visit to the United States
00:05Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy
00:09What are some things that stood out from those meetings? Maybe key takeaways, key memories?
00:16Look, I can say that I have seen President Trump in the first term as well as in the second term.
00:25This time, he is much more prepared than in the first term.
00:28He knows what he has to do. He has very clear steps and roadmaps in his mind about what he has to do.
00:39And I can see that I met his team. I believe that they have selected a very good team.
00:46And since they are such a good team, I felt that they are a very capable team to implement President Trump's vision.
01:00The people I met, whether it was Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy or Elon Musk, it was a family-like environment.
01:10Everyone came to meet their families. I have known Elon Musk since I was the Chief Minister.
01:20So, they came with their families and children. So, it was a family-like environment.
01:25Anyway, there are discussions on many topics.
01:29Now, the Doge mission that is going on, they are very excited about how they are doing it.
01:35But I am also happy that I came in 2014.
01:42So, I also want that the old diseases that have entered my country,
01:49the more I can liberate my country from those diseases and bad habits, the better.
01:56Now, I have seen that after coming in 2014, there is no discussion on such a global level as there is a discussion on President Trump and the Doge.
02:09But if I give an example, you will remember how the work has been done.
02:13I have seen that the benefits of some government schemes, especially the work of people's welfare,
02:22some people used to take the benefit of it, who had never been born.
02:32But the ghost name, marriage, widowhood, starting to get pension, handicapped, getting pension.
02:46And then I started scrutinizing it. You will be surprised to know.
02:52100 million people, 10 crore people, 10 crore such names, fake names, duplicate names, I took them out of the system.
03:07And because of that, the money that was saved, I started direct benefit transfer.
03:13The money that will come out of Delhi, the same amount should go into his pocket.
03:17Because of this, more than 3 lakh crores of my country's money, which used to go in the wrong hands, has been saved.
03:26Because of direct benefit transfer, I use a lot of technology.
03:31In the government, I have made a gem portal for the buyer of technology.
03:38So the government is saving a lot of money in buying, saving time, getting good competition, getting good things.
03:44We also had a lot of burden of compliances.
03:48I have terminated 40,000 compliances.
03:52There were a lot of old laws, which had no reason.
03:56I have terminated about 1500 laws.
03:59So I too, in a way, the things that were dominating in the government, to get rid of it.
04:11So these things are such that the work of the dosha is natural.
04:17It is very natural to discuss such things.
