Won't you be wearing the fur hat?
No.
People accuse me of imitating VP Singh.
Rani Bharti is really crafty.
The whole party was caught napping
as she stole the chief ministership from right under their noses.
Bheema is the mastermind behind it.
Rani is just a puppet.
Bheema and Mishra will run the government.
Rani Bharti is a dumb doll who will just put rubber stamp on the files approved by Bheema & Mishra
Remember who else was once considered a dumb doll in politics?
Rani Bharti is not Indira Gandhi.
I feel bad for Navin.
Did you call him?
I had told him, overconfidence is suicidal when it comes to politics.
But you know how Navin Babu is.
Your Excellency, they are all here.
Carry on.
We are just about to begin.
Why don't you go through the Oath?
Mishraji, don't you know?
What?
I cannot read or write.
I am as illiterate as it gets.
All rise for His Excellency.
[Praying]
Welcome, one and all.
Honourable Rani Bharti, please.
Let's go.
Come on.
Don't worry. I'm coming with you.
Here.
Silence.
I...
Repeat after him.
I...
Water?
Can I have some water?
Water, please?
Calm down.
Take your time.
Where did she come from, huh? The jungle?
Now we know why Bheema Babu didn't keep her with him.
he couldn't put up with her,
and now he wants the whole of Bihar to put up with her?
I...
'I...'
Take your name.
'Take your name.'
Mrs. Bharti, take your name.
I...
I, Rani Bharti,
'I, Rani Bharti'
do swear in the name of God,

'It's said that truth is stranger than fiction.'
'But in case of Bihar, truth isn't just strange, it is also peculiar.'
'What happened here today Was not a part of a sitcom,'
'this is a joke that has now become a part of Bihar's history.'
'Call it the show of Saheb Wife and Bihar, if you want.'
'Husband isn't in a physical condition to run the government.'
'Wife isn't capable enough to run the government.'

Rubber Stamp Government!'
'Bheema Bharti holds the remote control of the Rani Government.'
'CM Rani Bharti's qualification questioned.'
Yeah?
Madam, why aren't you ready as yet?
As if I have a wedding to attend, I am not going anywhere.
Madam, you need to go to the Secretariat.
Why do would I go to the lavatory?
We have arrangements at home.
Not the lavatory, Secretariat, Madam.
Today is the cabinet's first meeting.
You are running late.
Who are you?
Who exactly are you?
Why don't you leave me alone, huh?
Who are you?
Madam, I am Kaveri Sreedharan.
I used to be Patna's DM.
I have been appointed as your OSD now.
Look Kaveri, I am going to stay home.
I am not going anywhere, okay?
Madam, you are a CM now.
You will have to go to the Secretariat every day.
If you...
If you want, you can talk to Mishra sir.
Who asked me before slyly appointing me as the CM, huh?
Who, huh?
Look, I am going to stay at home.
My kids have school.
I need to cook lunch for them.
I also need to make porridge for Saheb.
We have five buffalos, four cows, twelve hens and eight goats.
They need to be looked after. Who will look after them, huh?
I have already made a fool of myself.
I am not interested in going through that again.
You may leave.
Please go.
Madam, just...
Kaveri, where is Madam?
Is she ready?
We are running late for the cabinet meeting.
She is inside.
She has refused to go.
She refused? Why?
I tried, she's not listening.
I am sorry, sir.
Please hold this.
Madam?
Everyone is waiting, Madam.
Did you hear me?
Don't worry.
You won't be alone.
I will be with you.
Kaveri too.
You just need to take charge of the office.
It's a closed-door meeting.
Mishraji, I am not going.
I am not going anywhere.
Look, it is not right for you to act childish.
You are a CM now.
You will have to go there.
Like hell I'll have to go.
Fine, let's sort this out.
Please, open the door.
I am not going.
I don't want to go.
I won't go.
You can do whatever you please.
I am not going anywhere.
Break this door.
Call the security.
Sir but...
If she doesn't go willingly then we will use force to take her.
She is still dressed in the sari she wore yesterday.
I don't think she has had a bath yet.
She is not going to participate in a beauty contest.
She is going to the Secretariat.
Call the security.
Let me go.
Don't you have any shame?
I'll get you fired.
You scoundrels.
Let me go.
I said let me go.
I'll get you arrested.
Let me go.
Please let me go.
Let me go.
Madam?
Comb your hair.
A lot of media personnel will be present there.
Madam is here.
Chief Minister is here.
She is here.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Move aside.
Move aside. Move aside, everyone.
Give way.
Move to the sides.
Move back. Please get out of the way.
Move back. Give way.
Madam, this is your first visit to the Secretariat.
How do you feel?
Madam, tell me, will we witness something historic today?
Excuse me, Madam.
- Please answer the question, Madam. - Move back.
- How is Bheemaji doing, Madam? - Move aside.
- What are your plans for Bihar? - You have to say something, Madam.
Madam! Madam!
- What are your plans for the people of Bihar? - Madam, please.
- Madam, please. - Pranaam, Madam.
Namaskar, ma'am.
- Pranaam - Namaste
- Namaste, Madam. - Namaste, ma'am.
This way, please.
Come on.
Uh-uh.
This way.
Go on.
Namaste Madam.
Namaste
Prem Kumarji.
Animal Husbandry Minister.
Let me have those.
Oh, I see.
I welcome you all to this first cabinet meeting of this government.
I request the Animal Husbandry Minister, Prem Kumarji,
to present the agenda of the meeting.
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity,
to welcome our Honourable Chief Minister to the Secretariat.
There is no specific agenda for this meeting, per say,
so Madam, we can talk about any topic you wish to discuss.
- Please. - Topic?
The flowers.
Excuse me?
The flowers.
- The flowers? - What?
- The flowers? - Why did everyone give me flowers?
Do you think it's right to offer flowers to a married woman?
Don't you have any shame?
It is an old custom.
To hell to such customs
No one should offer me flowers henceforth.
Okay.
Mishraji?
Why is this room filled with so many men?
Why did you make me the Chief Minister of such a male dominated government?
I understand.
We will solve this problem, soon.
Hello?
Okay.
Sure.
It's for you.
Hello?
Hello, Mom?
How are you doing?
Roshini?
Where did you get this number from?
From Dad.
How are you doing? Did you have lunch?
Yes, I did.
Did your father have the porridge?
Yes, Mom.
Bhola has made it. I fed it to Dad.
Very good.
Listen carefully now.
A doctor will come over to check on Bindiya.
So make sure he checks her thoroughly,
and note down all the medicines he prescribes for her.
Okay?
Another thing.
If Bindiya is in heat, we will need to find a good bull and impregnate her.
Madam, may I, please?
Listen, find out where can we find a good bull in Patna.
Madam, let me have that.
Madam, we are in a meeting.
Listen, Mishraji wants me to hang up.
You will go back home in the evening.
The phone bill is rising.
- Mishraji wants me to hang up. - Give it to me.
Okay? Take care.
Give it to me.
- Bye. - Okay.
She just...
It's okay.
So can we continue with the meeting, Madam?
Would you like to say...
I am missing Roshini.
Kaveri, issue a press release.
Okay.
State that in her first cabinet meeting,
CM Bharti asked her ministers to be approachable to the public.
Okay.
She has put ban on extravagant expenses such...
...as flowers and so forth on government functions.
Okay.
And she expressed concerned on poor representation of women,
in her cabinet and in the administration.
- Okay, sir. - Okay?
- Mishraji? - That's all.
Sir, Media people were asking too many questions.
About Madam and her qualification.
They are ridiculing her, sir.
I just hope Bheema Babu has not committed a blunder...
...by making Rani Bharti the CM.
- Diwakar? - Yeah?
Media perception doesn't represent a CM's qualification.
His or her work dictates that.
Got it?
Let the time decide whether Rani is a blunder or a masterstroke.
Okay?
Let's go.
'Bihar's politics witnessed an interesting twist today.'
'Bihar's new Chief Minister Rani Bharti took charge of her office.'
'On the other hand, the main contender for the Chief Minister's post,'
'Navin Kumar resigned as Health Minister
'and joined Tarkeshwar's Bihar People's Party,'
'along with his supporters and strengthened the opposition.'
'This move by Navin Kumar has adversely affected Rashtriya Jan Socialist Party.'
'After an assassination attempt on former Chief Minister Bheema Bharti,'
'losing a powerful leader like Navin Kumar...
...is another big shock for the ruling party.'
I have been MP for one term, MLA for three terms and Minister for four terms.
I was also the Party President.
But I never dreamed big.
Why?
Because I knew my limitations.
I just need Rohu(fish), ravishing woman and Rum every evening.
I am a man of simple needs.
I am easy to please.
But you assholes,
played with my emotions.
You baited me with the CM's post and stole the party president's position.
Now when Navin started circling in, you approach me with Rohu (fish)?
Do I have moron tattooed on my forehead?
I have come here to tell you that Bheema Babu has a doubt
that you are somehow involved in the assassination attempt made on him.
What?
Have you lost it?
Bheema very well knows that I prefer using my brain over guns in politics.
I know how often you have "partied" with Mukhiya.
So?
That's why I am asking you to help me clear Bheema Babu's doubts.
So tell me, who shot Bheema babu?
Mukhiya?
Opposition?
Or someone from our own party?
Mishra, I have no clue what you are talking about.
For a second, I can believe that you had no hand in it.
But to believe that you have no idea who did it?
Not possible.
You have your finger on the pulse of Bihar.
Get up.
Get up, I say!
What happened?
Let's go to Mahendru Ghat.
I'll take a dip in the holy Ganges and repeat that I don't know anything.
Will you believe me then?
If you don't know then find out.
And what's in it for me?
Your lost fame and cachet.
You can then continue feasting on Rum, Rohu (fish) and Ravishing women.
See you.
Mishra?
Cachet, is she a new chick on the block?
What is it now, Kaveri?
She is refusing to go again.
I am sorry, but how do we forcefully take her to office every day, sir?
Where is Madam?
The cowshed.
Doctor, tie Bindiya and this bull in the backyard.
- Madam? - Wait.
Make sure that Bindiya doesn't face any problems.
You can take them.
Madam, let's go to the office.
How many times do I have to repeat myself?
Have you gone deaf?
I am not going.
You can go find yourself another Chief Minister.
I have not gone deaf, but you certainly have gone blind.
Come, I'll show you something.
I don't want to see it.
Come with me.
Let go of my hand. What are you doing?
- Let go of my hand. - Come with me.
I have something to show you.
- Let go. - Have a look.
Have a good look.
Look at him.
An assassination attempt was made on your husband.
He had a paralytic attack.
Yet he defeated death and survived.
Why?
So that his Bihar survives.
So that the government for the poor and the backward survives.
He made you the CM so that you could fulfil his unfulfilled dreams.
But you are busy milking the cow.
Our own people are joining hands with the opposition
and planning to bring down our government.
But you aren't worried about that.
You are more worried about mating your cow with Zoorawar (Bull)
You don't want to go to the Secretariat?
Don't go.
Resign.
I suggest you resign right away.
I'll write the resignation letter for you.
Put your thumbprint on it.
Go on.
But remember, you will lose your husband the day you lose the power.
No, Bheema Babu.
Let me finish.
Wait here.
This.
Where did these two bullets that had pierced Bheema Babu's chest come from?
Who fired these bullets?
Who all are involved in it?
Don't you wish to find out?
He is your husband.
And this isn't the last bullet he will face.
Do you have any idea how many more bullets are being made with his name on it?
You don't.
How would you?
Go and milk the cow.
Bheema Babu, I have always supported your decisions.
I never questioned them.
I am sorry, but you made a very big blunder this time.
Rani?
Now both, the government and your husband's life,
are in your hands.
Do whatever you think is right.
Hail Respectable Karamveer Baba!
"Hail Respectable Karamveer Baba!"
Hail Respectable Karamveer Baba!
My brave soldiers,
what does a frog do if you immerse it in a pot of boiling hot water?
He attempts to jump out of it.
And what if you immerse a frog in a pot of normal water...
...and slowly raise the temperature?
The frog wouldn't attempt to jump out of it.
As the temperature rises, the frog will adjust its body temperature to it.
The temperature will keep rising and the frog will keep adjusting.
But there will come a point when the water is so hot that it is inhabitable.
That's when the frog will attempt to jump out,
but by then it would have already wasted...
...all its energy in adjusting its body temperature.
He won't be able to jump out.
The squirmy frog will die in that pot of boiling water.
So my question is who killed that frog?
The boiling water?
The high temperature?
Or the frog's nature to keep adjusting?
All of the above.
Post-independence, this country treated you like frogs.
It never raised the temperature so high that it would make you jump out.
Our democracy kept slowly rising the temperature and you kept adjusting.
The temperature kept rising and you kept adjusting.
And now, the situation is so bad that we are on a verge of losing
our right over our land, our self-respect and our women's honour.
Morons, it's about time you jump out of the pot.
This democracy treated you like frogs.
But you aren't frogs.
You are humans.
Highly intelligent breed of humans.
You were kings and not commoners.
You were feudal lords, landlords.
And you will remain so, if you fight.
Long Live Mukhiya Ji!
Long Live Karamveer Baba
I am sorry, sir.
I request you to put me back into my earlier post as DM, Patna.
Please, sir.
Madam refuses to go today as well.
The thing is, she is not understanding anything I am saying.
I am not understanding anything she is saying.
It is getting difficult day by day.
Hey, don't over feed the goats. It will upset their stomachs.
Got it?
Shall we go?
Don't we have to go to the Secretariat?
What, Madam?
Aren't you getting late today?
Let's go.
Okay, Madam. Come.
Kaveri?
Why don't we still know who shot at Saheb?
Police is investigating, Madam.
Who holds the highest rank in the police?
DGP Siddhant Gautam.
I would like to go meet him.
You don't need to go meet him.
He will come to meet you.
You just need to issue the order.
Shall we call him after lunch?
No.
It's my work, so I will go and meet him.
Give him the directions.
We will go there right now.
Have a look, Madam.
These two were spotted in Nanupur at the banks where the Chhat rituals were taking place.
Villagers say that one of them shot Saheb.
We have got their sketches made.
We have faxed them to all police stations in the state.
We have enforced blockades and are conducting search operation at various places.
We have increased vigilance at Nepal-Bihar border.
They will soon be behind bars, Madam.
How many days has it been since the assassination attempt on Saheb?
20 days, Madam.
20 days.
And you are still busy drawing, huh?
We have hundreds of police stations and millions of police officers.
Yet you are unable to catch these two people.
These guys are easily identifiable even in a crowd.
Isn't it, Kaveri?
DGP Saheb, I want prompt action,
or as Kaveri informed me, I can take an actions too.
Here are your drawings.
Let's go.
So tell me, how is Mukhiyaji doing?
He is doing well.
What brings you here?
I am always at your service,
but you refuse to reward me.
What do you mean?
Have a look.
From the time Bheema's illiterate wife has become the CM,
there has been a lot of activity in Patna.
I heard that DGP is coming here for a visit
Give me something to feed him...even breadcrumbs
Consider it as a formality.
I need to have something to show to the DGP.
Why breadcrumbs...?
Feed him the full meal
Come with me.
Mark all the wounds on their bodies.
- A bullet mark here and this... - Sir! Sir!
Sir sir, please sir!
Move back, everyone.
Can't you hear me?
Stay back.
Last night we got a tip that these two shooters are hiding in the forest.
We surrounded the forest and performed a search operation.
They fired at the police, we had to open fire in self-defense and both of them died during the crossfire.
We found a 315-sniper rifle and 80 rounds of ammunition on them.
Who informed you about this, sir?
Sir, at what time did this incident take place?
It happened at around 09:00pm.
Excuse me.
- Sir, sir... one question. - Excuse me.
Sir, sir, please sir!
Sir, sir, just one...
This is where two unknown dead bodies were found.
According to the police,
they died in a police encounter.
Jai Hind, sir.
Jai Hind.
Why didn't you inform me?
It happened so quickly that we didn't get a chance to inform you, sir.
Who gave you this tip?
An informer.
An informer or Mukhiya?
How much did he give you to do this?
I have conducted such a daring operation, sir.
And you are questioning me instead of praising me?
I always doubted you, Nishi.
This act has proven that you work for Mukhiya.
Now tell me where Mukhiya is.
Otherwise, you'll lose your job.
Look sir, your rank might be higher than mine,
But I am of the upper caste.
I own 220 acres of land.
I work for the police only so that I can do something for our society.
You guys might be running the government,
but we run the system.
Don't take this to heart sir,
but you won't be able catch Mukhiya,
and there is no fucking way you can get your hands on me.
I'll get you and Mukhiya, both.
Fucking bastard.
Unfortunately we live in a democracy.
And in democracy, anyone can become anything.
Look, as per the protocol the new CM was supposed...
...to come to the Raj Bhawan for high tea.
Now I cannot send the police to forcefully get her if she doesn't show up.
No, it's okay.
I'll call you.
Bye.
Yes, yes.
Your uncle is here.
Your Excellency. Pranaam
God bless you, Navin. How are you doing?
Pranaam.
Did you offer him tea?
I already had some, Your Excellency
Who are you here for? Your Excellency or your uncle?
Your Excellency.
Please have a seat.
I'll be right back.
Please have a seat, Navin Kumarji.
So tell me, what brings you here?
Well,
I would like you to have a look at this.
I hold a constitutional position, so I shouldn't be asking this,
but how is this going to benefit you?
I can call for an assembly session.
I can ask the Rani Government to prove its majority.
But that won't result in fall of the government.
Your Excellency, my intention is not to bring down the Rani Govt.
Due to this ping-pong game played between Saheb (Husband) and Bibi (Wife)
the people of Bihar have forgotten what a true leader looks like.
We just want to expose the true face of Rani Government
...to everyone from the assembly floor.
Hmm.
So people of Bihar will get to witness a debate
between Rani Bharti and Navin Kumar?
Namaste, Madam.
Pranaam.
- Chief Minister... - Hmm.
Come.
Is this assembly session or a gentleman's club?
Men run the country...the world, Madam.
They are bound to be here in large numbers.
But if you look carefully, you'll get to see a couple of women, scattered around.
Don't be scared.
Okay?
Look confident.
And everything will be alright.
And how does Confident look like?
By confident I mean be self-assured.
Okay?
Everything will be alright.
Mishraji, why don't you two come with me?
You don't need to worry.
Everything will be alright.
If there is a problem, switch off the mic and have a word with Diwakar.
- Okay? He'll explain everything. - Mic?
He'll explain how to turn it off.
This way, please.
Go.
Go on.
Oh God.
Madam?
It's this way.
- This way, please. - This way.
Sit here.
This is your seat.
Go on.
All rise for the speaker
Madam? Sit down.
I welcome all the honourable members to this assembly session.
All the honourable members are requested
to show respect to the Chair and follow my orders.
We'd first like to welcome our honourable Chief Minister Mrs. Rani Bharti.
We expect the opposition to cooperate.
So, we begin with the debate on the vote of confidence.
The leader of the house, Mrs. Rani Bharti,
if you'd please present your confidence motion.
Mrs. Chief Minister?
Please present your confidence motion.
I can only present if someone gives me something to present.
Madam, just say, "we table the confidence motion."
Just say that.
We table the confidence motion.
Sit down.
Opposition leader.
Honourable Speaker,
we oppose Rani Bharti's confidence motion.
We are not opposing it because we are the opposition.
We are doing so because we love our Bihar.
And we cannot tolerate its humiliation.
I have a very basic question from the people sitting in the treasury benches
Can you place your hand on your heart and honestly say,
that you really believe that Rani Bharti deserves to be the Chief Minister?
Huh?
You don't have anyone else in your party to take that position?
What is Rani Bharti's qualification?
Education?
Zero.
Experience?
Zero.
Political career Zero.
knowledge of problems state is facing?
Zero.
Knowledge of challenges faced by the state? Zero.
She is a Zero CM.
She has just one qualification.
And we all know what that is.
She is Bheem Singh Bharti's wife.
Honourable Speaker, there is chaos all across the state,
and former Chief Minister Bheema Bharti,
has done nothing except cutting ribbons
and encouraging caste based polarisation
Our state is facing economic distress.
All the development plans have been stopped.
The foundation stone is laid, the rituals are performed but nothing ever gets constructed.
Honourable Speaker, government employees haven't been paid for months.
And the ruling party has just one solution for all these problems.
Illiterate,
Incapable,
Inexperienced,
Rani Bharti.
Shame! Shame! Shame!
Our future generation will look at us with disgrace.
They will question us.
"What were you doing when Bihar's honour was at stake?"
We'll be able to tell them that we opposed this with all our might.
When an illiterate, ignorant, uneducated
leader like Rani Bharti was foisted upon us, we opposed it.
But many of my friends in the ruling party will have nothing to say.
They might be okay with this slavery,
but we, the opposition and the 70 million people of Bihar are not okay with it.
I would like to end with a couplet.
Please take note.
A fool is enough to destroy a garden,
what will be the fate of the garden if there are fools everywhere.
Well said.
Long live Navin Babu!
- Settle down, please. - Rani is just a puppet.
Rani is just a puppet.
Bheema is her puppeteer.
- Enough. Settle down, please. - Bheema is her puppeteer.
Settle down.
Honourable Chief Minister.
Madam.
It's your turn to speak.
Stand up.
Hello.
Look,
Go on.
Look,
Look, I don't know any poems or couplets.
And it is true that I cannot read or write.
Illiterate.
Ignorant.
Honourable Speaker, there is a saying in our village.
Daft as a bush, dumb as a post.
That's what I am.
But I am not illiterate because I wanted to be one.
Who would want to stay illiterate?
Huh?
To blame me for being illiterate is like blaming a mango for a bad pickle and not the one who made it.
Got it?
You know I actually went to school till the fourth grade.
We only had a primary school in our village.
Middle school was in the neighbouring village.
But I couldn't go there.
There was a river separating the school and our village.
And there was no bridge on that river.
When I was 15 years old, someone proposed to open a middle school in our village.
But it never materialised.
Because the landlords didn't want that to happen.
They would lose labour to cut their crops, to do their household work.
Uneducated.
Yes, I am uneducated.
But it is not something you can blame me for.
You should blame the educated people who occupied this position before me.
You should question them why am I uneducated?
Navin Babu, you seem like a learned man.
You use big words.
I am sorry to say this, but I understand Bihar's issues better than you do.
Learned people like you only talk about the issues.
But I am someone who grew up facing those issues.
So only I can tell you how to solve the issues Bihar faces.
What did you say?
I have Zero experience?
Zero?
Wrong.
I have 27 years of experience.
I worked at my parents' house for 12 years before I got married.
And I ran my house for 15 years after I got married.
And a woman who can run a house, can run a state,
or for that matter a country too.
Heard that?
I think I will win the vote of confidence today,
and run the government as well.
Well said.
Long live Rani Bharti!
- Long live Rani Bharti! - Settle down.
Long live Rani Bharti!
Settle down.
Settle down, everyone.
Don't waste your cusses.
You'll need them for later.
There is another saying back in my village.
- Should I say it? - Go ahead, please.
The elephant keeps walking as the dogs keep barking
Long live Rani Bharti!
