00:00I am not here to join issue. I am proud of Bharat that is rising as never before. The
00:11rise is unstoppable. I am proud of the ecosystem in the country. Hope and possibility. Buying
00:22economy. Infrastructure unbelievable. Global reputation of the Prime Minister. Never heard
00:33Indian Prime Minister will be a global leader of that level. India is respected all over.
00:42We therefore have to be extra cautious that these forces that are active, you have to
00:51analyze them. I do not wish to take on an individual. I have respect for all. But then we have to
01:02be analytical mind, discerning mind. We cannot have a situation where you direct President
01:12of India. And on what basis? The only right you have under the constitution is to interpret
01:24the constitution under article 145.3. There it has to be five judges more. Boys and girls.
01:35When article 145.3 was there, the number of judges in the Supreme Court was eight. Five out

02:35in eight. But leave that aside. Article 142 has become a nuclear missile against democratic forces.
02:49Available to judiciary 24 to seven. Boys and girls, why I am talking to you? You are the future. You
03:07are the stakeholders. I am not addressing only you. I am addressing the entire youth of the country. In
03:16IITs. In IITs. In IIMs. Institutes of Excellence. Colleges. Universities. Schools. We have to believe in the nation. We have to believe in the power of we the people. And the power is reflected only through representatives. We have lost track. The good thing is the government policies are yielding results.
03:45People-centric policies. People-centric policies are yielding to the ordinary man. The ordinary man has a bank account today, a toilet in the house, an internet connection, a gas connection, an electric connection, has health facilities and education facilities close by.
