Bhanu Pratap is a past

master of this game.

He knows that

accepting the resignation..

would've made Prithvi a martyr.

Have you seen this?

Veerendra has organized a

mammoth rally in Madhopur.

He'll announce his Chief

Ministerial nomination.

Hello, sir.

The iron is hot.

- Here at the

Rashtrawadi Party's rally, where..

- even as Veerendra

Pratap's helicopter landed..

- on the other side,

Prithvi Pratap, Samar Pratap..

..and Brij Gopal's

convoy reached the stage.

- the crowd ls confused even as..

- the tableau on the

stage becomes more dramatic.

- From the Kothra ground, Madhopur,

this ls Malti Joshi, Star News.

Please use the sofas down there.

Today, only family

members on the stage.

Please do cooperate..

This is too much.

l'll show them their status today.

Brother Veeru, don't act in haste.

But Sooraj, they..

You know you can end

their political career.

You come this way. Come on.

What's the meaning of

this outrage, Uncle?

ln politics, it's called

hijack in broad daylight.

What do you mean?

- Take care of yourselves.

Long live Prithvi Pratap!

Long live!

- Prithvi!

My name is..

Samar Pratap.

l'm the youngest..

and l humbly greet you all.

You've resigned from

the party, Prithvi!

How will you fight now?

Throw it in the dustbin, Veerendra.

lf you have the guts,

throw me out in front of them.

- Your wish will come true, Prithvi.

l've always been kept

away from politics..

and nor am l here to

talk politics today.

l only want to know one thing:

My father, Chandra Pratap

gave his life for you..

at his elder brother's command.

Does that martyrdom hold

any value for you? Or not?

l only want to know one thing:

While his father lay dying..

the police falsely accused Prithvi

and physically dragged him away.

Does his struggle

mean nothing to you?

- Prithvi, please fight on..

We are with you!

There is no court higher

than the people's court.

And the people of Madhopur..

have always done justice!

This is the hour

of destiny, friends!

ln these trying times..

Rashtrawadi party needs

a strong and able leader.

Someone who cares about the poor..

who fights for their dignity..

and who will not hesitate to

sacrifice his life for them!

And you know very well who that is.

And to strengthen his resolve..

we have with us..

our brother, Veerendra Pratap..

Dalit leader, Sooraj Kumar..

and our beloved, Brij Gopal.

Elders, brothers, sisters, friends..

that leader is your very own..

Prithvi Pratap!

- Victory to Prithvi Pratap!

Long live Rashtrawadi Party!

To preserve..

the integrity of the party..

l am pained to declare..

that Prithvi Pratap..

is hereby..

dismissed..

from the Rashtrawadi Party.

Sir, please..

answer to our question.

lt went exactly the

way you had planned.

Long live!

- Prithvi!

By dismissing me from my own party,

they believe that..

l have become homeless and orphaned.

They're under a huge illusion.

Even if they expel

me from the party..

how can they remove

me from your hearts!

My home is in your hearts..

and l'm not leaving that!

Long live!

- Prithvi!

lt was as if the entire town

had turned up for my meeting!

The people are with us.

The caste-wise

combination of every constituency..

the local issues..

the candidates' election history..

it's all here.

The list of the top three

candidates from every constituency.

Samar, we have only nine days..

to file nominations..

and our party doesn't

even have a name yet.

l know, brother.

Remember, you had formed

an organisation in college?

Prabhu.

- Right away.

That's the name of your party.

You're a youth symbol..

and that will be your appeal.

We respect you a lot.

But you are well aware that our

community has always suffered.

l know that, Arif.

But times have changed.

You can definitely trust us.

We do trust you, Brij sir but..

you know that these

political issues are very delicate.

We won't change our loyalty.

l can understand.

We shall pray for you.

- Thank you.

Uncle their support is crucial.

33% of the voters in the 132

constituencies are Muslims.

They vote in a group and

we can't bribe their vote.

Well then.. we'll need to

strengthen our position.

And as that happens,

the Muslims will support us.

Uncle, we also need to

gain the support of..

..the small regional parties.

Talks are underway, but they

are asking for a huge price.

Take it.

Here is the confirmation.

What's this?

We have removed

Prithvi's name from..

every single bank

account of the party.

Great! Let him thrash

about for every penny.

Babulal, the businessmen?

l've instructed all of them.

Let him fight the

election as a beggar!

Long live!

- Prithvi!

We need a crowd of 300,000.

You're asking for thousands,

but offering peanuts for that.

l'll.. make sure

you get the balance.

My dear sir, to organise crowds,

one needs advance cash. Not credit.

Don't waste my time.

l'll.. get it done.

You've always supported us.

We've already given

to the party fund.

That party doesn't exist.

l'm talking about Prithvi Pratap.

After all, he will be

your next Chief Minister.

May your words come true!

We're always there for you.

But times are tough.

Now, that you've come personally..

please accept this offering.

Looks like a couple of

zeros have been missed out.

l brought receipts for 50 million..

while you are

offering half a million.

l respect your status.

Hence, l can't accept this.

l'm leaving the

receipts here, though.

Thank you.

- Looks like, we've suddenly

become political outcasts.

l've spoken with Sakseria.

l'm going to see him.

l don't think in these

conditions he'll bet on Prithvi.

- Your father had done a

lot for him. Let's see.

- l'll visit your

father today itself.

Don't hesitate to call

for absolutely anything.

For now, only what l've asked for.

- Of course! 500 million

will reach you by this evening.

Don't worry.

- l shall leave now.

Mr. Brij Gopal!

- Hello.

Please, come in.

- No.. just came to say hello.

How is lndu?

She's well.. very well.

Okay then..

F***!

Mr. Samar is in the office.

Should l inform him?

l'm here to meet Aunty.

Why don't you get married to Samar?

Then you can be with me, always.

l don't need to

marry anyone for that.

Samar, have you fought with lndu?

lt's nothing. l'm fine.

May l say something?

What?

l've been a fool, lndu.

What are you trying to say?

Just this..

that not only does my mother,

but even l like you.

You're lying!

No!

l didn't know then.

l was confused.

l'm sorry.

Mom, l accept.

Please speak with her dad.

See..

if this is a joke, l'll hammer you.

Look at that!

Threats of violence, already?

Mom, do ask for an

ambulance as dowry.

Who knows when l'll have

to go to the hospital.

"The love is raining.

The color is all over."

"The anklet is colored,

the drape is colored.

"l am colored in your love."

"My heart is swaying."

"lt keeps swinging."

"Come to me beloved.

l don't feel good without you."
