Only he has a right to my loyalty.

Until my last breath

l will stand by him.

Don't you trust me, father?

l will never let the

Rashtrawadi Party go down.

The final victory will be ours.

God, it appears,

is testing us severely.

But you will not break.

Please lndu..

you will have to be strong.

You will have to be strong.

Everything is over.

- lt's over.

- We Are orphaned.

Samar..

- now you Are our only hope.

lt is true that..

we have suffered a very tragic blow.

But don't forget that..

the resolve that our

leader Prithvi had undertaken..

is alive even today.

Brothers..

nothing is over..

and nor are we orphans.

Come on.

This is Mrs. lndu Prithvi Pratap.

Jan Shakti party's new leader.

Under her leadership,

we'll contest the elections..

and be victorious!

l, Brij Gopal..

as the mentor of the

Jan Shakti Party..

nominate Mrs. lndu Prithvi Pratap..

as Jan Shakti Party's new president.

We support this nomination.

- You have our support!

- l..

- l, lndu Prithvi Pratap..

take this vow,

in the presence of God..

l will be a member of the

Jan Shakti Party for life..

and follow every rule..

and command of the party.

- Long live Jan Shakti!

- Long live Jan Shakti!

- Long live lndia!

- Long live lndia!

- Victory to lndu Pratap!

My tears haven't dried up yet.

And l won't allow them to dry up.

Until l get an answer from you!

Tell me..

how can you tolerate..

these unending attacks on me?

My father-in-law was

brutally murdered.

But, you remained silent.

His own son was humiliated..

and driven out of his party.

But, you remained silent.

The henna applied on my hands

for my wedding hadn't even faded..

and they mercilessly

made me a widow.

But, even now, you remain silent!

Why?

Answer me!

Are you going to vote

my family's killers..

into power?

No!

ls this your sense of justice?

- No!

Does my sacrifice count for nothing?

- lt does! lt does!

Answer me!

- lt does! lt does!

All initial reports seem to point

towards a majority for lndu Pratap.

After the history of conflict

with the Rashtrawadi Party..

violence was anticipated but..

barring one or two incidents,

elections were peaceful.

There were a few

complaints against the EVMs.

From Bada Bazaar, in Balrampur..

with cameraman Ram Narayan,

this is Mukta Tiwari for Star News.

Muslims, Hindus, all..

seem to be in one line.

lt's entirely a one-sided contest.

The widow is going

to sweep it all away.

Hello, sir.

- Hello.

How're things?

- Here we had no problems but..

reports from other areas

aren't too encouraging.

- Most exit polls

predict 120-130 seats..

- for the Jan Shakti

party led by lndu Pratap.

- Victory to lndu Pratap!

Long live lndu Pratap!

- lf the result goes this way then..

- in the 207-member

legislative assembly..

- Jan Shakti will

hold a clear majority.

- the party workers of Jan

Shakti Are already celebrating.

- on the other side, the Rashtrawadi

party office ls a picture of gloom.

What is the report?

- there seem to have

been some stray complaints..

- about the malfunctioning

of Electronic Voting Machines.

The machine in our

booth just wasn't working.

No matter which button we pressed,

the vote registered elsewhere.

- From three other places,

similar complaints were..

He has rigged the machines.

l am dead sure!

- Where ls the boss?

He's been up all night

watching TV reports.

lt's urgent.

So, Raghav, tell me..

are the voting machines

actually tampered with?

- l'll just put him on.

Sir..

it's Moti.

Some suspicious

activity at Bankepur.

- Tell me..

- Sir..

Samar and his men are

here since last night..

with computers,

antennae and other stuff.

l heard they're tampering with

the voting machines by remote.

What the..?

Keep an eye on them.

- l'm on my way.

- Okay.

Follow me to the Bankepur area.

Come on, hurry up.

- Hurry up!

Where did he go?

l have no idea. He just drove off.

What do you mean?

Where was the security?

- He must've said something.

- Nothing at all.

He isn't answering his phone.

- Yes, Sooraj.

Veeru.. Where Are you?

Near the defunct

Bankepur cable factory.

l'm on my way.

Don't get out of the car.

By then that Samar would've

changed all the bloody votes.

Come on.. that's impossible!

What is impossible now is

to trust anyone, Sooraj.

Using some fancy

hi-tech tricks, he is..

snatching our votes

from under our noses..

and you say..

Just don't get out of the car!

l'm on my way.

He's here.

Alone.

Nobody shoots.

His car is bullet-proof.

Sooraj Kumar is here too, sir.

Don't shoot.

- Yes?

- Veeru..

nothing happening here.

lt's better we leave.

Didn't you notice outside?

l didn't see anyone outside.

They're talking on the phone.

We can't wait for long.

They are hiding somewhere.

l'll take a look.

- No! Don't step out.

l'll have a look.

No one shoots..

until Veeru steps out.

Shoot, Sooraj!

Shoot him, Sooraj!

- Veeru.. Veeru..

- Huh?

Don't close your eyes!

Shoot! Shoot!

Veeru..

Let's finish this

war right here, Samar.

Just..

allow me to take

Veeru to the hospital.

Then l'll come

wherever you want me to.

My life is in your hands.

l am bound by my commitment to..

protect my friend.

Come on, Veeru..

What are you waiting for, Samar?

He is unarmed.

So?

Did they kill your father

and brother on the battlefield?

Don't get trapped in

questions of justice and ethics.

This is the time!

Don't lose sight of the goal

for which you entered this fight.

Remember, in politics..

victory is all that matters.

And, your victory

will remain incomplete..

as long as he is alive.

Come on.

Finish him!

Sooraj!

l..

l, lndu Pratap..

swear in the name of God..

that l will uphold..

the lndian constitution..

with dedication,

honesty and respect.

l shall always seek to preserve

the unity and diversity of lndia.

As the Chief Minister of the state..

l promise to perform my

duties with dedication..

and a clear conscience.

l never wanted to do..

any of the things that l did.

You, of all people,

know this, uncle.

Please forgive me.

l am sorry, lndu.

l am sorry that l hurt you so much.

l know that you may

never be able to forgive me.

Do you really have to go?

l always wanted to

stay away from politics.

l feared the demons..

that it brings out.

But, that is exactly what happened.

l couldn't escape my circumstances..

and ended up losing everything.

But, l know..

l know that you're not like that.

Your heart is pure.

You'll be okay.

My world was very different, lndu..

in which l only had Sarah.

Now, l must look after her mother.

But, you'll have to return soon.

There's something of

your brother with me.

l am going to be the

mother of his child.

Wow, lndu!

Wow.. l mean that's..

lt's been a long while since

this family received some good news.

Congratulations!

Come back soon.

Of course, l will.

But on one condition.

You have to come to receive me in

a car with the flashing red light.
