Madam, we go back years.
You never took even the smallest decision
without a discussion.
Strange, that you took such a huge one
without any consultation.
I chose Roshni to be the chief minister.
Do you object to that?
Yes, I do.
By making Roshni the CM,
you chose to ignore merit and experience.
You're encouraging dynastic politics.
You could've set a new example
and made history.
But you did exactly what
Bheema Babu did years ago
by choosing you.
There's no difference, madam.
There is.
There is a huge difference, Kaveri.
Saheb made me the CM
so, he could continue to be in power
and be the Super CM.
I have no such expectations from Roshni.
As for
merit and experience,
please tell me what do you mean by that?
Tell me.
In my opinion, without being given an opportunity,
you can neither show merit
nor gain experience.
What about Mr Mishra?
He had both.
You chose a young girl over him
and denied both him and Bihar of their rights.
In fact, you have denied
the rights of another Rani Bharti.
The chief minister's post
is not a reward for loyalty and sacrifice.
It's a complicated matter.
Choosing Roshni wasn't a selfish decision.
I did it for the betterment of the party and the state.
I saved the party from falling apart.
Time will tell
whether what I did was wrong
or did I give Bihar a new Rani Bharti.
Hello, sister.
- How are you? - Fine.
Jai?
Jai, open the door.
I promised mom we'll go together for the oath ceremony.
Hope you're ready.
Roshni, let's go. It's getting late.
What are you doing here?
Paswan uncle, give me a minute.
Raniji has asked me to get you there on time.
We have to welcome VIP guests.
Jai will join us later.
- It's oath... - Oath ceremony can wait, Paswan uncle,
relationship cannot.
You carry on. I'll be there.
Please.
Jai!
I won't take the oath without you.
I'll only go to the Governor House with you by my side.
Fine, don't open the door.
I'll wait here. Try me.
I'm waiting right here.
Are you mad at me?
Remember when we were kids, I got bit by a snake?
Dad was away as always.
Mom was working in the fields.
You were alone
but you didn't get scared.
You carried me on your shoulders to the village
straight to the doctor.
I was unconscious for 3 days.
You stayed by my side all along.
You saved my life.
I have no right to be mad at you.
Are you mad at mom?
This is supposed to be the oath ceremony
of Roshni Bharti, the new CM of Bihar.
But you can also call it Rani Bharti's show of strength.
Eminent leaders in huge numbers from across the nation have arrived
leaving Patna airport crammed for space!
The media has criticised Rani Bharti
for choosing Roshni Bharti as the CM
and there are signs of rebellion in her party too.
An unbothered Rani Bharti
is busy catering
to her guests
with local delicacies.
It won't be wrong to say
this little bird from Patna
is ready to take on the political eagles of Delhi!
What will be the eagle's next move?
Only time will tell.
A heartfelt welcome and warm greetings to all the distinguished guests
at this grand oath-taking ceremony.
A humble request to all of you.
Kindly take your seats.
The proceedings of the oath-taking ceremony will begin shortly.
It's evident you're not from Patna.
Yes. I'm from Lucknow.
I see.
- Aditi. - Aditi?
Balmukund Chaudhary's daughter?
- Yes. - I see.
And Roshni's friend too.
From Delhi University.
I see.
I've heard about you. Today we finally meet.
Is it?
Would it be any different had we met before?
Huh?
Don't mind, just kidding.
Had we met before,
you'd be my guest, not my sister's!
Yes.
I am Jaiprakash Bharti.
Jaiprakash Bharti!
You need no introduction.
Why is your neck blue?
Is it a new fashion trend?
It's not fashion.
I've gulped poison like Lord Shankar.
With the gracious permission of the Honorable Governor,
the proceedings of the oath-taking ceremony are hereby commenced.
I request Miss Roshni Bharti
to come to the dais for the oath ceremony.
I
I, Roshni Bharti, do solemnly affirm
that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the constitution of India
and as law established.
That I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India.
- I, Rani Bharti, - Swear upon god
Swear upon god
I will bear allegiance
to India's
To India's
Sovereignty
and integrity, intact.
Keep it untouched.
Intact...
Intact.
As the chief minister of Bihar
To any person or persons
any matter which shall be brought under my consideration
or shall become known to me as the chief minister of Bihar
except as maybe required
for the due discharge of my duties as the chief minister.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
Long live Rani Bharti.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
Long live Rani Bharti.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
Long live Rani Bharti.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
Long live Rani Bharti.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
Long live Rani Bharti.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
Long live Rani Bharti.
Manik Sen and his nephew Chandan,
Balmukund Chaudhary,
Shrimant Naik, Sajjad Ahmed Mir...
And Baldev Singh from Punjab.
Som Babu, don't convey my best wishes to the new CM of Bihar.
Issue a press release
raising concern over the apparent dynastic politics.
Okay.
Murad, Rani Bharti should be criticised all over for nepotism.
#Nanga Nepotism
By choosing Roshni Bharti as her successor
Rani Bharti has upheld dynastic politics
like her husband Bheema Bharti did by choosing her.
Rani Bharti is also being criticised
because she calls herself a leader with ideals.
King's rule is over but India's guardians of democracy
think of themselves as the new monarchs.
Is the post of Bihar's CM
meant only for members of a particular family?
Won't you give me your blessings, Mishra uncle?
You've become too big, Roshni.
You don't need my blessings.
Coffee?
I'll make it.
Mishra uncle, you know,
when Abraham Lincoln became president,
he asked three of his fellow competitors to join his cabinet
who fought elections against him.
- William Seward... - Salmon Chase, Edward Bates.
I know that.
But that's history.
In the present, what does the CM of Bihar want from me?
One?
Mishra uncle, everyone knows I never aspired to
become the CM of Bihar.
Mom never wanted it either.
If that were the case, she wouldn't appoint you and Kaveri aunty as observers.
I'm not defending or criticising mom.
She did what she saw fit.
As the CM of Bihar,
now I'll do what I see fit.
I believe you'd be the best finance minister for Bihar.
Does Raniji know about this meeting?
I won't run the government as per mom's instructions, uncle.
Mom! When did you come?
What a surprise!
Bless you.
I wanted to meet you.
So, I came here.
Good that you came.
What is this, mom?
I had conducted your papa's death anniversary ritual.
It's the offering.
Mother, don't put the tilak on me.
I have to go to college.
After finishing your education,
you will return home, won't you?
No, mom.
I have applied here for work visa.
After finishing my education, I will work here.
What about us? What about all of us?
Do you know? During Roshni's swearing-in ceremony,
everybody missed you terribly.
Shall I tell you something, mom?
You shouldn't have made Roshni didi the CM.
Look at this.
Do you even know? There is a hate campaign against you and Roshni didi.
Death threats.
Boycott.
Roshni didi is being accused of incompetence and nepotism.
Why did you push her in this inferno?
Mom, you know politics is a dirty game.
Why don't you quit it?
Surya.
Politics is not your laptop.
To turn it on whenever you want.
And turn it off whenever you want.
Sometimes to keep your family safe,
you need power in your hand.
You remember
what happened with your papa, don't you?
I remember.
I remember it very well.
That's why when I see these comments,
I worry for you, brother and Roshni didi.
Hey. My little one.
Don't worry, son.
Your mother is alive.
I promise you.
I won't let any harm befall on my family.
I know...
what I am doing.
'On his way back from the Assam tour,'
'Prime Minister Joshi reached Patna unexpectedly.'
'We don't know much about his schedule.'
'But it's been said that he wants to start'
'the Lok Sabha election campaign from here.'
Bihar government started post
matriculation scholarship for poor children.
Last year, around 200,000 kids benefitted from it
but none this year. Why, Gopalji?
Madam, 80% of this fund comes from central grant.
They withheld the funds this year.
The finance secretary said off the record
you want to bad-mouth the PM
and also expect him to pay you!
Roads in Supaul and Saharsa were damaged in floods last year.
That work is still pending, Deepakji.
Why so?
Madam, we haven't received the
next instalment of RDF.
RDF?
Rural Development Fund.
The centre allocates it annually to state governments.
I see.
The centre has withheld Bihar's instalment this year.
Why?
What's this?
Last year's Bihar government accounts.
In other words,
centre's leash that controls our fate.
I don't get it.
The center releases funds
only when state governments submit
utilisation certificate of the past year.
As per this report,
the utilisation certificate we submitted
had accounting errors.
They are accusing us of misappropriation of funds
and have stopped all central grants.
Patna smart city, renovation of government hospitals,
municipal corporation's waste management...
The reports indicate all the departments are lagging.
Is it all because of misappropriation of accounts?
No.
Then why is the center refusing to pay Bihar?
You all may leave for now.
Roshni, the reason is that
the PM doesn't want the Bihar government to function properly
or for our party to do well in the upcoming assembly elections.
To be frank, Roshni,
I am worried about one thing.
The battle between the PM and Raniji
might create major hurdles for your government
and Bihar.
That's not fair, Mishra uncle.
The PM can't turn a political fight into a personal one.
He's the prime minister of the country, even the opposition.
You talk as if Pandit Nehru
or Lal Bahadur Shastri is our PM!
Friends, this is an auspicious day
for Bihar and Patna.
Prime Minister Joshi
is here to talk to us.
Mr Joshi's leadership
took the nation to great heights...
Roshni Bharti gave this speech to the governor
to read in the assembly.
- Roshni? - CM, Bihar.
Just say Rani's daughter.
- Did you speak to the governor? - He sent this document and is
- waiting for instructions. - Reject it.
There's no need to be unbiased and great.
Okay.
And the CM wants your appointment.
It's regarding central grants and funds distribution.
The PM doesn't deal with such trivial issues.
Ask her to meet the finance minister in Delhi.
Okay.
I am here to attack
not make peace.
Give it up for our celebrated prime minister
Mr Sudhakar Sriniwas Joshi.
Dearest people of Bihar,
you are the most hard working lot in the world.
You built Delhi
and made Mumbai shine.
You made Punjab flourish.
Alas,
you were left behind.
The land of Bihar is fertile
but there's no agriculture here.
You have rivers but it's not used for irrigation or power generation.
No one is as skilled as you are
but you have no industries.
There is a running joke in Delhi about Bihar.
Bihar has three crops
Rabi, Khariff
and relief.
All you get are empty promises.
What you get is just crime
and corruption. Maheshwari Commission's report is out.
It clearly states your Ex CM Rani Bharti's
criminal activities.
Rani Bharti is a merchant of death!
Tell me, do you want corruption and crime
or development?
Development!
Wow, mom. Feels like I'm going for an exam.
It's your first day in the assembly house.
This is the beginning
of a long running exam.
Mom, how did you feel
when you stepped in the assembly for the first time?
Stepped in? I was literally pushed in there.
Yeah.
When I entered the house,
I was frightened.
I was parched at the thought of working amidst so many men.
Then I thought about your
bed-ridden father
and my kids and walked in.
Yeah, I remember that speech. What a speech that was!
- What was it? - There's another saying in my village.
- May I? - Please do.
Dogs bark when the elephant walks mightily.
Very well done, Rani Bharti!
Excuse me.
Take your time.
Mom, please come with me today.
No, dear. The world
sees you as Rani Bharti's
shadow.
Now you must show them
you aren't just my daughter
but Bihar's chief minister.
Hello.
- Hello, how are you? - I'm fine.
Hello.
Respected members,
the governor.
Respected speaker,
I'd like to infom the house today,
the speech sent to me by the CM office
is a political propaganda filled with malice.
Despite a written objection
and suggestion, no changes were made in this.
Reading this aloud
goes against the dignity of a governor's post.
Hence, I won't read
this speech.
Speaker sir...
Stay calm, respected members.
Please sit down.
What is this, sir?
This is not done.
Please sit down.
You too sit down.
Please sit down.
Yes, madam chief minister.
It's unfortunate that the governor left without reading the speech.
He just proved he's not Bihar's guardian
but Delhi's agent.
I request you to
allow me to read his speech in his absence.
But, Roshniji,
a CM reading the governor's speech is not the tradition we follow.
Sir, I am Rani Bharti's daughter.
Our family is infamous for defying tradition
but I won't do that.
Today I shall start a new trend.
How could Governor sir have read that speech.
How can a bride take her brother-in-law's name.
That speech clearly
exposes his "brother-in-law", the prime minister.
The PM came to Patna for a few hours.
I didn't feel like wasting government's money
to discuss accounts with him in Delhi.
Meeting him here would be feasible so I asked for an appointment.
We were told the PM's schedule is very tight.
Shame!
Sir, the central government is sitting on money meant for Bihar.
Let alone special package,
they stopped funds that's rightfully ours.
All welfare schemes have come to a halt.
Yet, instead of meeting me,
the PM gathered some paid actors
took them to a hall and gave a speech.
Did he say anything about
Bihar's betterment?
No.
Did he mention new schemes or programmes?
No.
He didn't.
For 90 minutes, PM Joshi
only spoke about Rani Bharti!
All he did was comment on Rani Bharti
and the things she did or didn't do.
Why? Because PM Joshi knows
Rani Bharti is the only contender
who can throw him off his PM's chair!
Sir, I'd like to convey a message to PM Joshi through this house.
The chief minister of Bihar is not Rani
but Roshni Bharti, Mr Joshi!
Before you address the mother,
you have to face her daughter.
I am her daughter. Speak to me.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
Long live Rani Bharti.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
I had told Kaveri that
Bihar is getting a new Rani Bharti.
Long live Roshni Bharti.
