Nayak: The Real Hero Page #4

I could break his limbs and

throw him in the lake

You wear shortpants

and bother our girl?

Watch it. Irm going to

be your brotherinlaw.

The name is Kalluram.

Whatever it is, cool down

Use too much of English and

Eunuch!

Sorry, my weakness...

but I wasnrt wrong, was l?

Whatrs the tension for...

Guests are like God, okay?

So park yourself there. Go on

Look, fatherinlaw...

Irm in love with your daughter.

I wish to marry her

What do I lack? Irm earning man.

I can even sing and dance.

Ask Topi, if you wish.

Oh yes... here goes!

rrl was walking on the path...

enjoying a snackrr

rrl was romancing the girlrr

rrYou got jealous...

so what can I do?rr

I know a bit of Karate too

This Bruce Lee will now break

this coconut with his bare hands

No.

Oh yes. Give him a big hand!

You land me in the soup, Topi?

Drag the old man into it

Irll fix you!

Watch the coconut break into to

The next item! Herll stop

a moving truck with his teeth

What?

Not now... Hers fasting today

So kids, what do you think of

your brotherinlaw?

And what do you think, grandma?

You have it made!

Who are you?

Do you watch tv?

I only tend to my fields.

I was the one who saved a student

in the riots that broke out recently

I saw it on tv!

- He saw it

What do you do for a living?

- I used to be a cameraman earlier

Irm now a senior newsreporter.

Is it a Government employ?

No. Itrs private.

- I want Government service

You canrt get a job in the

government. Yourre overage

Stop joking. I want my soninlaw

to be in the governmentrs employ

Whatrs wrong with my job?

I get a salary of 15,000...

with all the perks.

Itrs just like a government job

I want him to be a government servant

These tv channels close down

every other day

Even if the salary is

just a thousand rupees...

I want someone

who has a government job

Only then will my daughter

be secure and happy

Go and find a job like that.

Werll discuss this later

Where do you disappear? I kept

looking for you all weekend

We went to see the lizard.

- Lizard?

Hers kidding, sir.

You werenrt around this morning

I went to the employmentexchange

for my wedding, sir

Employment exchange for your wedding?

Yes, sir

I donrt understand

For a husbandrs job, sir

Shall we talk business?

- Sure

Yourve got to interview

a very important man

Who?

Irve never interviewed someone, sir.

Whatrs the big deal?

This is your chance. Donrt let this

opportunity slip out of your hands

This is an exclusive show

for you, Shivaji

And your first guest is the C.M.

Why is your hand trembling?

My first interview, sir

That too, with the C.M.

Wonrt I be nervous?

The C.M. is no devil.

Hers a human being like you and me

Have a natural chat with him.

As if yourre talking to me

Show me whatrs in your bag

Hello! Today...

todayrs guest...

Our guest today...

Our guest needs no introduction

Hello, sir.

- Hello

You will take the interview?

Yes, sir

Whatrs your name?

Shivajirao

Hello! Our guest today

needs no introduction

The whole world knows him,

as do you and me

Come election time, the public

casts its vote in the hope...

that the chief minister

will solve their problems

And every time, they meet with

disappointment and betrayal

Just as what is happening

in your rule. Why, sir?

Looks like you donrt

step out of your studio

Today, every family in Maharashtra

has a color tv...

and every village a dish antenna.

There are telephone booths

in every corner.

They have the lnternet

Every man has a car for himself.

Every man wears proper shoes...

a watch, goes to amusementparks

and trendy eateries

Such is the level to which

standard of living has risen

I can safely conclude that

in the last 15 years...

there hasnrt been a single

starvation death

Farmers donrt get two square meals,

let alone a MacDonald burger

No worker moves around in cars.

He labours in the hot sun

The rich are getting richer.

And the poor are out on the streets

Our city happens to have

the worldrs largest slum, sir

People still face hardships in

crowded buses and trains

They still spend hours in long

queues, for their rations

Children still beg

at traffic signals

People will always point fingers.

Do you know?

Ever since I have taken over

as Chief Minister...

the literacy rate in the state

has risen to 64.8 per cent

Kerala and Mizoram have a

90 per cent literacy rate

Maharashtrars No. 1 in

industry and business

Even in crime, itrs the No One

There are just 35.8 per cent...

people, under the poverty line.

In Punjab, itrs 1 1.7 per cent

And an average manrs income

in the villages...

is still a measly 3 rupees per day.

Get your figures right first...

before you talk to me.

This is the World Economic

Forumrs report...

and this is the World Bankrs report.

The World Bank claims that the

loan it gave your government...

did not reach the public.

Your ministers ate it all up

So they withdrew the next

installment of loan

You donrt know, son. The World

Bank had set conditions...

that would have mortgaged

the whole state.

What were the conditions, sir?

Could you tell us in clear terms?

I donrt need to tell you.

Irll tell the people

The people are watching you

and hearing you.

So tell us why the World Bank

cancelled its installment

It isnrt so easily explained.

Itrs a 1000page document

There are 18 sections in all.

You will get it at the secretariat

Spend 15 Rupees on it and

read it out to the people

Whatrs the next question?

Before you entered politics...

what was your family background?

Our was a very poor family

We were into farming.

What is your salary now?

What?

Your salary

After deductions, it should be

about 18,000 a month

Which means, annually,

you make 2,16,000...

so you mustnrt have made more than

2 or 2.5 million till today

But you own properties

worth 5000 million.

Where did it come from, sir?

Good God! Hers stripping the guy!

Nonsense! If you want to know

about my property,...

file a case in the court.

Irll tell the court what I possess

There are 1.4 million cases being

heard from the last 15 years anyway

Harshad Mehtars case

hasnrt yet been decided

Those involved in the bomb-blasts

have been acquitted

In a rape case, when it

was time for the verdict...

it was already five years

since the woman had died

And you ask me to file a case?

Remember this, sir?

- lrve seen it somewhere

It was your election manifesto

Yes, I remember.

I myself had itpublished.

We will establish a social order

devoid of crime...

We will strengthen

law and order in society

Women will be able to

move without any fear

Every family will be provided

electricity, water and provisions

Education will be provided.

Inflation will disappear...

and happy days will be here again

lnstead of rrhere againrr...

they published rrwill disappearrr

and I myself had it corrected

Has all this happened?
