- Hasnrt it?

You speak of strengthening

law and order

But you are the one who

destroys the law

You are the one who

encourages casteism

Are you trying to provoke me

by saying things like that?

Not at all. I only wantpeople

to know the truth

Take a look

rrHave life in the state

brought to a haltrr

rrRun the bus over me and you think

my friends will remain silent?rr

rrThe whole of Maharashtra will

go up in flames with merr

A busdriver brought the whole

city to a grinding halt

When questioned, he said he

belonged to the ruling party

Another driver threatened

communal violence

The Commissioner of

Police could do nothing...

because you wouldnrt let him act.

To protect your votebank...

you let the whole of Maharashtra

go up in flames

Property worth 2500 million

was razed to ashes...

owing to your silence.

Vehicles were set ablaze...

several people were injured

and killed... all because of you

You did notpermit anyone

to take any action

Because you did not want to lose

your chair. Isnrt that true?

Hers trapped!

You are making baseless allegations

to sensationalize this interview

I have proof

One of those drivers

belongs to my party

The others come from the caste

that helped me win the elections

And the students too help us

during the elections

If anyone of them is touched,

werll lose their support

Let them scream their lungs out

Theyrll soon get tired

and forget the whole thing

Let buses be set on fire.

Let shops be plundered

Irll put together a committee...

Well, sir? You value your chair

more than the public. Isnrt it?

Speak

What happened?

Hers giving him a bath

Speak up! The cat got your tongue?

Switch off the camera

Irll have you hacked

Butcher!

Ask him to switch it off

Stop it! Switch it off!

You sonofagun...

Canrt you hear me?

Stop this bloody farce!

Cut it, or lrll burn

everything to ashes!

Aim the camera at the control room.

So let me deal with this charlie

Hers coming here with the camera!

Stop it!

Put that slipper down.

This isnrt the state assembly

Why arenrt they switching it off?

ltrs a live telecast, you idiot!

Like the Cricket matches!

The whole nation is watching

Can they see me, too?

Yes. And your filthy slipper too

And this guy wants to be

member of parliament!

Welcome, sir... this way.

Show me your slipper, please

Where was the slipper from?

Kolhapur or Lucknow?

Dada, enough of the interview.

Shall we go?

The interviewrs over, isnrt it?

Jai Hind

Itrs a live telecast

and people are watching

People still havenrt got

the answers. Please sit down

A nice work of dubbing

You had someone with my voice

talk any nonsense...

to instigate the people against me

I donrt consider it necessary

to answer such questions

I have personally shot

this footage, sir

How much has the opposition

paid you for this job?

How much would you pay if

you were in the opposition?

You ask me any silly question

on satellite tv...

and expect me to answer you?

Why must l?

Itrs your duty to give answers.

800 million people have elected you

Do you know who a Chief Minister is?

Have you ever been to

the C.M.rs office?

Do you know what itrs

like to be in there?

You ought to see how many

people come calling every day

People who cry, who ask questions,

who thank me, seek my blessings

Some garland me,

some abuse me!

Do you know the things

I put up with?

Only someone who occupies

the C.M.rs chair will know

In a riot or emergency,...

I donrt get carried away and

take impulsive decisions

I get to the root of the problem

and solve it

I donrt ask silly questions.

Just what I did that day

You did nothing that day, sir.

What you could have solved...

you let it get even more complicated

for your own benefit

And you justify yourself here?

Play with fire

and you will burn

You donrt understand!

You will know,

when you play with fire

For a day, just one day,...

become the C.M.

You will know where it hurts.

That isnrt the answer

to my question, sir.

What you say makes

for a good argument

But it is notpractical.

ltrs absolutely practical

There is a provision for it

in our Constitution

Werll only have to pass a

minor ordinance. Thatrs all

24 hours makes no difference.

Yourre joking, sir

Yourre the one whors joking.

Occupy my chair for a day...

and you will know

what fires I burn in

What a crown of thorns

I wear on my head!

You will realise how many got

literacy and were rid of poverty

You must sit here then and

I will ask you questions

In this very program.

Do you agree?

Whatrs the C.M. up to?

Hers playing a oneday game.

With the C.M.rs chair.

Ever since he has been to Bihar...

he keeps talking nonsense

No, sir. Thatrs your job.

Not mine

Well? Run out of steam already?

You reporters are like dogs,

barking after cars

The moment the car halts, you run

with the tail between your legs

Well? Would you like

to be C.M. for a day?

Itrs a live telecast, my boy.

Everybodyrs watching. Answer me

Take it! Say yes!

Shall we end the interview?

All right, sir. If it

is possible, lrm willing

I will occupy your chair for a day

The C.M. is trapped!

He took this for a party meeting!

Good thing, too. Irll get to work

with an educated C.M. for a day

All right then

Jai Hind

Come on

You gave it to him

Calm down... peace

Mr Chavan is growing senile

He invited that guy to

become the C.M. for a day

Now tell us if there is provision

for this stupidity in the law?

There is. When assembly

is not in session...

this can be done by

passing an ordinance

There is a precedent for this.

Whatprecedent?

Someone in Bihar was made a chief

minister overnight recently

And this is what happened when the

Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh...

went abroad for a bypass surgery.

- When a leader in Delhi died...

her son was made the Prime Minister.

Does he have the right, however?

Neither is he dead nor is he ailing.

He only spoke nonsense on tv

Not so much of English.

Just tell me if this is possible

Itrs possible, sir. You can

use your discretionary powers...

and do it through

a gazetted order

You canrt make an idiot the C.M.!

For that matter, we canrt go

around drinking poison, can we?

Hers right! All this is nonsense

You donrt know politics. That guy

showed on public television...

that the Commissioner did not

take any action because of me

Had I admitted itpublicly

that he was following my orders...

not only would I have

been beaten up...

but the next time I went seeking

votes, the electorate would beat me

So I had to be oneup on him.

Thatrs okay, sir...

but what if he does something

seriously wrong for us?

He can do nothing! Till he gets

to know the duties of a C.M.,...

his day will be over. It will

be good for my public image

rrBalraj Chavan kicks his

post to defy allegationsrr

People will get to know how easy

it is to make allegations...

and how difficult it is

to rule a state

You know best. It has to be right,
