Good morning second night in the books. It's looking like about 17 degrees out. It's 5 30 a.m. I got breakfast started the coffee is actually parking already and it's gonna be a great day We got a got some serious wind to content with it's already blowing straight Sidways out there about Oh, probably two hours ago. I started to hear the trees You know making some noise and sounds like a jet airplane So we got over we probably got about 20 miles an hour right now They're talking some gusts like in the 40s, so we're gonna try to set up out of the wind Good buddy CJ coming in he's bringing in a friend of his that I'm really excited to meet I've heard a lot about him an older fellow that's just really into fishing and a great guy and You know mine like CJ asked me to fish with friend of his that's all I need to hear so We're gonna fish together today Have a great time. We're gonna do some jigging for pan fish. We're gonna set some traps for big pike and We'll probably bounce around a little bit try to do a serious multi species day See if we can put anywhere from five to seven species top side But first things first I'm gonna drive this breakfast into me because that's That's one of the most important parts of the day This looking pretty damn good this morning nice hot breakfast pretty cold out there. It's dropping now 16 degrees when this howling I'm in a pretty good spot to block that north northwest wind which is gonna be the prevalent win this week So chopped onions in with my taters this morning adds a little bit nice flavor to it and With those taters if you can get them crispy on the outside and a little bit soft on the inside That's just about perfect. You know, I really like eating potatoes anyway, but especially when you cook them just right like that golden crispy on the outside and little bit soft on the inside and the Onions are Crisped right up, you know, they can even be burnt, but they're not but they could be and it's still be pretty darn good And then with the eggs I like to do over easy or over light or whatever you heck you call it Where the yolk is still a little bit runny but the whites all Done and then you can dip your bread in it and toast in it and eat the yolk that way So here we go. We'll try a little bit more of that sriracha on the eggs Little spice to it. All right dishes are done If you guys ever need me to do your dishes Let me know I'm pretty pretty darn good at it. Hi sons just about up out there Gonna be a great day guys come along. We're gonna I got a probably I got about an hour Maybe two hours fishing alone before I go out and pick up my friends. So come along Maybe we'll get one top side You might catch up to him if you do give him a hard pull and you got steel cables. You don't have to worry about breaking off Definitely was a pike but a lot of times they'll circle back so So don't be surprised if he hitches you out. Wow. He took a mile didn't he? Oh Hope you didn't drop it. I hope he circled back is what I'm hoping but it doesn't look good So that's my bottom marker there Huh, did he steal the bait?  So we had a pike We had one run. That's good sign. I'll throw another bait down there. We'll feed him again Cool thing about these big fishes Maybe eat more than once Look at this one That's grown ain't it? Yeah That's pretty well grown ain't it? Look at him down there and put it in there getting huge you know the goldens.  Yep, yep, I tuck it in this other rubber band so the bait Can't trip it if he comes back to life. I know I had that one tucked too I don't know how he stripped that without getting the hook Well, we gave him a free meal. That's it Man that wind is getting fierce ain't it? Way more than 10 to 20 I'd say Okay, that sounds a lot more like it He bowled about straight sideways on us right now when we were coming across there. I was like, oh man Oh, just lucky I guess she's still going down Hey, did you get to the rubber? Yep, yep, I got it to the reel here so We're pretty good Yeah, so if that bait comes back alive Which he might he's he's trapped on my other rubber band so He shouldn't be able to set the flag off and then the pike rails it Pops them out and then it's free spooling because they they'll feel it and drop it. Yeah So that's we're set up pretty good there And bait that size it's gonna be a decent fish. I'd say wouldn't you Yeah, I couldn't catch a fish on the school Nice You know I have to flat note the bob So this is what I meant when I said you could possibly get tired to catch them and then just move to a different species They just sit there There's so many they'll keep coming and going we did find yesterday That the snowmobile did affect them a little bit Yeah, it pushed that's good. I was going to park further away, but I wanted to block the wind for you So I swung around that side I think the wind helps us Cool thing is you get to test out rod you get to test out gear on them and they're fun to catch and If you burrow some throw them out here. I'll cut them up and vacuum seal them Somebody'll eat them or we could cook them today if you want Actually, that's pretty good. See from a little bit north of rottland all the way up to derby line. They had farms That's a pretty one. Oh, I forgot to tell you there's goldens in here Did you see one and the meat's actually gold too? Really? Yeah, it's weird Like eating it, but there's no difference in taste or anything It's just weird when you play it and it comes out like perfectly gold Gold crappy? Yeah. Yeah, you can tell when you catch one. I saw one earlier. This whole face is gold Everything's gold on them and the skin is too.  So Where is it? Is it that one? Yeah. That's a pretty good one Hold that baby up for the camera. Give him close. Yeah This is awesome, huh? This is more fun for me to watch you guys spanking them than me catching This is the stuff you dream about though like a school like this And then In the afternoon, I'll find us a school of yellows I'll get us a school of yellows and you got wait till you guys get on these yellows.  They're fatter because of how what they're eating They're just not quite as big because you and I were catching 14s all day here You'll catch like 12s all day. Where were you down at that pond where we went? Yeah, we went after you guys found them That was crazy, I've never had so much fun catching for same Yesterday was pretty fun. I got to admit with Sean he he was having a blast Because he doesn't get a chance to jig much and he doesn't get a chance to fish much poor guy What happens when you're in the fishing? All right Get him As quick as you could drop it's so easy That's a golden right there. Yeah You can see the inside his mouth is different Yeah, and the underneath the jaw and the if you get him in the light you can really see it's it's almost like an orange belly I fill ate up one last night Then you got that guy pretty good I got a tackle box full of baits and lures too guys if you want to try anything else or do anything Yeah, you can really see the gold in them.  So you're up to three species so far. All right. That's the first perch We we never got any bigger perch in the school crappy. We we got a couple of those Well, I'm gonna set this other trap. I'm just gonna walk it I'm gonna keep it near us. Just keep the pike honest All right, that's my marker where I want the bait on the trap So about a foot and a half two foot off bottom But I'm gonna show you guys jack traps Big bait bands because we're running big bait We want one of these things this made by jack traps You could use a rubber regular rubber band, but they could be a pain in the neck these things have like a little pull tab on them You can take that but that goes right on the bottom of your trap Like so it's got your pull tab on it so you can pull it to get your line under it All right, so once you get to where you want you're just gonna tuck a pull and you can tuck as much under there as you want Or as little as you want And that keeps your bait from ever setting that trap off And then when the pike hits it it rips it out of there and then you then you're back to free spooling Just like that. We are set off I'll start scouting some yellows. I got a bunch of spots where they hang And Nice Right it's like fishing a bucket or a barrel Right these ones they swam away for about 32 seconds john's like where'd they go New one's moving in right there's probably a pike Easy 14 inches of ice right now You mean from from down there he comes out? Uh, normally yeah rather than run that woods trail. Yeah, he gets on near where you guys parked This thing's working out pretty good this shack That arm might go up Past john the furthest one to the right might be able to that one That might be able to go up a little more. I don't know if it's locked in or not Look at these, huh?  Like when you put the filet knife to them You get a good you get a good piece. Yeah, like like you get belly meat off that one right there That's kind of the way I look at them if you don't get belly meat off them. They're kind of too small But that one you get some belly meat and All right, it's almost lunchtime I'm back in the shack Out of the wind over here and this shack is she's I'll tell you the temperature It's 65 degrees in here with no heat on just from the Ambient or I guess the heat that it attracts With the black roof and the sun beating on it and out of the wind chill So I'm definitely taking the jacket off I didn't realize how nice it was going to be over here But I'm going to cook up some louis lobsters for the boys And we're going to drive some of them into us and get back out there Hopefully get a pike topside for them If we can't do that we'll have more fun jigging like we're doing I think they're both well over 100 fish right now and it's not even not even noon There's a three for everybody Does he I call them red snappers. Yeah, I think that's what most people call them We call them louis lobsters Yeah, that's a cool setup Yeah, this one I got last year. I got two smaller ones um The 450 Basically is just one side of you So you just pick one side and it's long enough to get you caught And it's all you need for one person. They're freaking bad. Oh, yeah Yeah caught with a mat and I don't freak around If I'm if I'm camping more than one day, I'm bringing the floor Because there's nothing better.  It's warm I think it'd be hard to go back to your 450 you have to have this one Just because you've got that this is just awesome How much room this is So I got this because dawning camps with me a lot when we put his bed there And then we put the wood stove. We had a wood stove last year So I put the kitchen here and the wood stove went out here But I don't know I don't know on this heater. I just It ain't much out of here too That one's an oven that goes on top of oh, okay the burner, but you're pretty awesome And then I can bake in it dawning's made bread and all sorts of good stuff like but but yeah, so this is about As good a setup as as there is out there. I think I mean I mean there's guys doing all sorts of different ways, but For me, this is like oh, I ever need do you have anybody checks on you during When you're camping no no because most of the time no one knows where I am or when I'm going or there's enough Unless it blow his phone up Yeah, what I'm within Um within service I like to go up in the north main woods and there's no service up there but I just haven't taken the trip yet this year because I don't know. I've just been behind and ice was behind and Last year we fished out of east ram and we got like An inch of rain one night And we fished it No, it rained all day and that all night We fished it and I ended up catching a big friggin toge in the rain at night. It was weird She wasn't in this though. Was you no no we were we were staying at um Congress cowgirls not a camp tog is that a stop water? No lake trout. That's what they call in the name It's like the indian word for it, but it's in our law book Like they don't have lake trout. They do anywhere tome and then lake trout Yeah I'll tell her known Who's he my butter there sponsored by oscar mire? Hunter. Yeah, my buddy. It's a half a friggin louis the lobster When I stick through it My buddy works for uh oscar mire for pfg then they buy oscar mire and he had that I'm like dude You gotta get me one. He just gave it to me. Oh, that was good I'll hit the spot on it. Yeah, I filled the void That's a good thing. You ready for another one? Sure Maybe it'll settle you can eat that you eat it. No, I've had enough He's only had two I had a monster breakfast In a minute But yeah, so last night was probably the second loudest I've ever had sleeping with the ice Nice one Golly, there's a pile on the screen. Yeah loaded What do you think John? Doesn't get any better than this name's got some pretty decent fishing up.  Yeah, I know struggling trying to get the little ones for a challenge I did it those are the hardest ones to catch. Right Well, these guys are well and away on that school. We got them set up in the 2800 escape by eskimo It's the perfect day for it because it's been growing Like 10 to 25 straight sideways and then it throws in a gust of like 45 every once in a while So for the first time ever we screwed it down Never thought we'd have to screw it down before we left it hooked up to the snowmobile And it was still going to go here about so we screwed it down and she's been staying pretty good And it's just such a nice comfortable way to fish Normally, you know, just sit out to buck it out in the open But on a day like today when it's windy and cold You throw that wind chill in there and these guys are having like looking at me hooked up yet They're having like the time of their lives. It's actually warm in there And they're out of the wind and they're railing on them John's about to get one too. CJ's got one coming up. Yep. He does Double it up Choking they're on the mega school Choking the chump the chump Choking.  Are you? No, no My arms are tired. Yeah, I imagine You guys are well over a hundred each by now. I'd say that's a pretty good one Well, I'm gonna go see what's in that out of school See if it's a mix or if it's anything decent. I might move a couple of these pike sets around so I'll be in and out Yeah, if you need a thing just holler away. We'll be right here. Perfect Yeah, I don't know if it made a big run yet or not, but it's circled for sure It's up. It's up pretty high in that way I'm hoping I'm about a quarter inch high Yes Yeah So you could check it out if you feel it just whack them. It's that way. So you probably want to get on this side I think there's one over there, but I'm not sure If you feel him hit him hard I hope he didn't wrap it Just went up too when I called you Took a pretty good run Feeling yet Got him hit him again There you go They come right at you a lot Yeah, he's off Something on there Little pike All right, well better than nothing, right? I got a little clutch bag for you Really?    It was fun First bite through the eyes Was it? Nice Yep, first one They do get a little bigger But not much They give you heavy, but it's No bigger All right, good job John That was cool Little guy eating this bait, so it just shows you If you want to catch a 20 pounder what you could use You could use him How many you think you guys caught? Each I'm going to just be conservative I'd say 200 John was that one of the better days you ever had fishing? One of the best days I've ever had fishing, period Awesome It's always fun with CJ He's the best of the best And that uh, I'll tell you one thing that Eskimo did save the day Oh god, I know what I couldn't have done it today I've been out here for an hour trying to jig and it's brutal Like you can't eat your lined blow-in Yeah, that's the word Your line freezes, the hole freezes Everything around the hole freezes You're trying to hold it still for that crappy and the wind blowing it like that Yeah, it's pretty brutal But you guys are going to get in the woods And you'll probably be sweating by the time you get to the track Once you get out of this wind Because it's all wind chill Yeah, yeah Yeah, like when we went back for lunch It was 65 in the inside Yeah Yeah, with no heat on Yeah, if you stand outside It feels cold If you're inside, it feels cold If you stand outside, it feels cold And you get back in that and you can tell it's It's a good 10, 15 degrees different And no wind hitting you Yeah, I think that's awesome I'm pumped about it But it almost blew away a couple of times on you guys With you in it earlier I saw it came up off the ground So we spiked it down It's the first time I've ever spiked that one down And jeez, it seemed to work So, well, I was hoping we'd get you another pike topside, John But let's look at the bright side of it That you can only go up from there That's right You can't go down from there That's right They don't get much smaller Oh, gee, thanks I'm not gonna lie to you, man That was awesome Thank you I really appreciate you That was a great day Let me come out here Oh, it's my pleasure Yeah, absolutely great day I'm so glad you got out and hammered them And CJ had a great day too I'm glad you let him catch up you too I usually don't let him catch, buddy All right, buddy Awesome day All right, shoot me a message later I'll let you guys know how I do tomorrow All right Fishing's done for the day It's cooling right off We got 15 degrees I've got some batteries charging And trying to dry some clothes out And other stuff But I'm vacuum sealing my dead bait to save And to keep I'll be able to keep it thought out in here, I think And they won't freeze up And I'll be able to use that for Pike in the future So I'm doing that As you can see, I'm cooking some dinner In the Coleman stove On top of my Coleman propane There's my bag of bait Looking good So I'm all done vacuum sealing I think for tonight We'll never do that Job well done And for dinner tonight Dinner's an odd one tonight It's mostly horsedervers I don't know if you guys have ever eaten horsederver meat But it's not bad Otherwise known as four derbs So let's take a peek In that oven It is looking pretty good We got some mozzarella sticks We got jalapeno poppers Other than what is known as jalepeno poopers We got macaroni and cheese bites And we got loaded Bake potato skins Sounds like the best horsedervers ever And we're going to put them all together And make a meal out of it So it's like a dream come true For a little kid to have that for a meal We're not eating super healthy tonight But I don't know after a super cold hard day on the ice I don't mind eating some horsedervers Pound them in the main Pike didn't bite at all today With John got that one little tiny one And we missed one earlier And then I missed one I think I missed one at the end of the day That was about it for the pike But the boys had a wonderful day John's in his 70s And I think he said he had his best day of fishing ever Today Basically fish from like 8 to 230 With a lunch break And he caught over 250 fish And CJ, his good buddy Sitting right next to him did the same exact thing 250 for him He might have caught 249 actually I think John told me he beat him by one So that's pretty darn good fishing right there But let's uh I've been cooking this in that oven For about a half hour now I don't know if it's done or not The cheese is melting out So I'm thinking those are done at least Oh yeah, look at that Oh man, steamy hop I think the best thing's gonna do Is just pull that whole dang sheet right out under the plate That's what it's gonna look like right there You guys stay tuned I'm gonna cook some way better meals In that oven this week This is just kind of a warm up deal right there Stuff's already pre-made And it's not really good food But I'll cook some good food later in the week in that oven So stay tuned Much relastics aren't half bad But I think a lot of the mozzarella blew out of them So maybe I got the heat a little too high on that thing I thought I had it right around 300 It's pretty chilly in here as you can see my breath It's a lot nicer than it is outside It's 15 and dropping outside right now But there's a jalapeno popper Let's try one of them things Wow, that's super hot That'll burn the roof of your mouth We'll wait on that Let's try this macaroni and cheese bite Never had one of these before It's kind of a new thing Pretty good Tastes like the top when people bread macaroni and cheese Like Donny does Kind of tastes like that top first bite So it's pretty good It's like a deep-fried macaroni and cheese ball I don't really know what inspired this dinner tonight But I just was thinking of different stuff I could cook in the oven And for some reason these hors d'oeuvres came to mind Let's see if that jalapeno bite is a little bit bad Now she's still smoking How about one of these potato skins? Wow, those are going to be hot too Yeah, we're going to have to wait on that Nice That little bit of cream cheese offsets the jalapeno So it's not too hot Going in anyway Oh, that's damn good Cheddar and bacon on top of a potato skin Yes, sir I guess they call that like the sampler in the restaurant When you get more than one type of hors d'oeuvres finger food Well, I know one thing It's going to be a little bit earlier bedtime tonight than last night And I'm going to get at it pretty early tomorrow And go after the crappy pretty hard There's a saying where I come from Let's go something like early to bed Early to rise Fish like heck and makeup lies So but with that camera you can't really do much lying There was a sign at the pool growing up They said Welcome to our wool Notice there's no pee in it Please keep it that way Oh, he's got a kick out of that There was a sign above my grandmother's In my grandmother's bathroom That said We aim to please You aim to please That's pretty funny Easy cleanup tonight for dishes Just like that Dishes are done That's the end of that So I don't know if it was a filling meal To be honest with you I might have enough driving a bowl of soup in To me to finish this off Wet everything down Make it a little slippery But tasted good Everything was kind of like comfort food I guess you'd call it So I'm pretty comfortable right now But I'm thinking about a nice hot glass of tea Cup of tea Maybe maybe some soup to wash it down We'll see It's just I don't know why soup tastes so much better In cold weather like this I got that heater on three quarters on both valves And it's about six foot away from me And I'm over here blowing smoke And not quite shivering But maybe I'll crank it up Burn blow out of propping Always get my coffee ready the night Before just in case it freezes in here And I can't get any water I like just turning that on And being good to go Oh that's a cup of chicory right there Product I think it comes out of India They put it in a lot of coffees as like an additive So you've probably been drinking chicory for years And didn't know it But I like the taste of it on its own It's a pretty earthy taste And nutty I guess earthy I don't know how to describe it But I like the taste of it So I've been drinking it on its own for a while now You could add it to coffee too if you want Some people do that Some people add a little milk or sugar Or maple syrup to it But it's caffeine free And it's a coffee substitute So late at night it's pretty good to fill the void A lot of your Louisiana coffee makers like Community coffee I think is one of them Cafe Dumond They add chicory right in So it adds a really nice taste to coffee anyway I like to put a little bit in Boy that wind was rippin' today It blew about as hard as I've seen it We were kind of hidden a little bit But it got a I don't know Maybe about 650 feet to run Maybe a little bit more No that's about it And we had CJ in that Eskimo 2800 escape And it was also hooked up to the snowmobile And then that thing went airborne And he had to hold it down It was crazy when the wind gets underneath that That thing is pretty heavy on its own And then CJ's pretty heavy It was blowing hard And that was the first time I've ever had to Screw one of those down Because if there weren't two guys sitting in it It could get airborne in a hurry There had to have been gusts in the 50 plus 50-60s today I think it was pretty well sustained 10 to 25 So it was a little bit more than they called for this morning But tough, tough day to be outside fishing You know, I feel it on my hands I feel it on my face You know, just a layer of windburn I was jumping around looking for different schools And trying to get us on some pike too So I spent most of the day outside And it was a tough day to be outside That, you know, this isn't a plug for Eskimo or anything But that 2800 saved the day Because where we found the school It was kind of out in the open And those guys had to eat some wind And we were able to put both of them in a chair Sitting on top of a school Blocked in from the wind You know, on the sunlight Was throwing enough heat on the little tiny hut To keep it pretty enjoyable for those guys And keep their line from freezing up And keep the wind from blowing their line I was trying to jig some crappie out in the open With a life-scope and try to find a spot to fish And it was just blowing my line right out of the hole Lifting my bait up I tried to hold my rod tip still for the crappie to bite And it would just, the wind would blow it And it'd blow your line up on top of the ice That's already been cut So it'd get hung up in that And the hole was freezing out pretty good With a wind chill out there So being outside was pretty miserable today So that was really cool that we had that 2800 escape From Eskimo to jump in And it was comfortable for those guys We could have honestly fished three You know, it would have been just shoulder to shoulder Pretty close to it A little bit extra room I bet But I wanted to kind of jump around Try to find something I thought they were going to wear that school out So that's why I went looking for another school But those guys, man, they did their best to wear it out They each caught over 250 fish or right around there And, man, they left them biting You know, they were still biting when they left So they ended up getting four species out of that one school They got pumpkin seed, crappie, white perch and yellow perch So that was a lot of fun for those guys And you never know what's going to bite Like I always said, jerk on one end, waiting for jerk on another That's all fishing is I went a little strong in that cup of chicory right there She's dacking a boot Dacking a pocket I'll add a little water to it, but Some of you guys might not have ever heard of it It's kind of a Southern thing, I guess And I'm not a Southern boy But I just always had taste for a lot of the Southern things I know it came out like 1800s in France, I think As a substitute for coffee And then in the Civil War, when the North blocked off A lot of the trade routes for the south They needed coffee bad And they needed to make it go longer So it's been called like the hamburger helper A coffee or something along those lines You can mix it in But I really like the taste of it and the smell of it So I drank it straight up You know I'll add it to coffee too But if you got coffee that's real bitter or acidic It can make a coffee taste and smell a lot better But let me know in the comments if you guys ever drink chicory Or drink it straight up or use it on anything I can sprinkle it over like a dessert or something like that I bet it tastes pretty good there Well, that's going to do it for tonight, guys I'm pretty well worn out I'm not going to lie, really appreciate you guys tuning in I'm going to go after some bigger crappy tomorrow So tune in for that I got a day and a half left of that Nicole Stone Stone Cold Crappy Challenge My buddy CJ is actually in first So if I don't end up catching some good ones Happy to see him win Otherwise I'm going to give him heck and try to take it from him So I know that's what he'd want me to do But I really appreciate you guys tuning in I read all the comments So got any questions or got any comments? Throw them in there and I'll get to them


Hi everyone, Joe for Jazmy's casebreaks.com, Dodger's officially clinching the NL West. That's exciting. This is also exciting, 2013 Panini prominence football, because it's our last filler. That's going to unlock that football mixture that we had on the site that's going to be in the next video. Also, this is part of that all-break sold promo. So the list of these names, this list right here, will be part of that break credit promo as well. We got until tomorrow night to fill out. Wednesday night to fill out. Wednesday end of show. Big thanks everybody for getting into this. We're going to do the break first. Let's roll it, randomize it. One and a six, seven times for names and teams. One, two, big team photos for the Dodgers, three, four, five, six, and seventh and final time. Now who, 2013, does anyone remember all the top of their heads? The key members of the 2013 draft class? Maybe Travis Kelsey's, that maybe Zach Ertz, one, two, three. Freddie Freeman walked with Shania Twain. Let's go girls.  We got first half right here, second half right over here. No trade windows in these little filler breaks. Whoa, is Geno Smith 2013? I should have known that. If I knew that, I would have, maybe this would have filled a little bit faster. Is it Geno Smith Rookie here? Yeah, that's right. This is Geno Smith here. Nicholas, Nick, put some respect on Geno Smith's name. They were six point underdogs, they were six point underdogs and they beat the mighty Broncos who some have tabbed to go to the Super Bowl with Russell Wilson. Geno Smith, what a performance. I was on, I was on the Seahawks plus six and a half. Geno Smith Pro Bowler, Geno Smith, come on, Pro Bowler, Geno Smith puts some respect on his name. The disrespect. Kenyon Barnard was a rookie and here are your hits. Behind Des Bryant to 199 is rookie class letter, Monty Ball. He was a rookie that year, 94 out of 100. That's for my rivals, Denver and that will be for Nico. I hope it's not the Raiders, it's a tough division though. All right, it's Chance Warmick, one out of 99. With peace, a chance, Warmick, Titans, Zach and T.Y. Hilton, autograph, it's pretty cool, 589 out of 999. Who's got the blue horseshoes, that's the X line. Marguerite Hunt reveals a nice Jasper Collins, a nice logo right there. I don't remember Jasper Collins though. That's going to go to Miami, that's for Joshua Jones. All right, no Genos. No Genos yet. I guess we do have a lot of those 2013 boxes. All right, the whole point of this is who's going to get those mixer spots, not Genos. Together all the names, 1 through 32, Nick Nappy, still with the Geno Smith slander. Geno stinks, he says. What are you talking about, future Pro Bowler, does Pete Carroll automatically get coach of the year if he turns Geno Smith into a Pro Bowler?

i wanted to provide some sort of discounts for you guys here these discount codes will be working all the way through the end of this month by the way so if you want to wait till tomorrow sunday some other day this month to buy some merch from us uh that'd be great uh unfortunately this hat is not part of that merch but we got a bunch of shirts sweatshirts uh zip hoodies um some leggings for the ladies out there or the men that like to wear them so uh yeah without further ado though i do want to remind you that we do have a giveaway event happening on this sunday at 8 30 p.m central time begins prime giving we actually just bought some new equipment uh for prime giving so that's gonna be fun uh we have a lot of stuff we're giving away during prime giving including a nintendo switch OLED system in fact hold on the OLEDs here one second yeah there it is uh we're giving away this nintendo switch OLED along with the satisfied grip um we actually have a link down in the description and the pin comment to enter specifically for this grand prize giveaway although you do need to be present to win uh we have other giveaways going on as well including a special edition nintendo uh switch light uh that's based on around the new pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl uh we got some Zelda game and watches to give away along with some other prizes as well i can't wait for prime giving it is my way of giving back during the holiday season so thank you guys so much you guys are amazing that being said let's get into today's uh two big news stories so our first one deals with sales from japan and i really want to highlight well we're going to go over the sales charts but we're going to have a little bit of a longer conversation around the game at number one because it's kind of proving something that i've been saying about switch for years uh so let's just get into these sales for last week in japan um at number one we have pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl moving 1,395,642 units this is actually the second highest um switch debut in japan uh number two we have mario party superstars at 39,797 units uh we have number three we have battlefield 2042 a new release last week for playstation 4 at 25,268 units shimigami tense 5 is at number 4 at 22,513 units battlefield 2042 for the playstation 5 is at number 5 at 21,637 units and number six we have ring fit adventure at 11,822 units and number seven we have animal crossing new horizons uh and number eight we have minecraft at number nine we have minecraft eight deluxe at number 10 we have super smash result and number 11 we have pokemon sword and shield uh at number 12 we have call of duty vanguard for playstation 4 um and so on and so forth you guys see the rest of the list on the screen um also of note is obviously system sales and uh the nintendo switch dominated uh there was 167,778 total nintendo switch units uh sold last week uh switch oled is back on top nintendo finally provided enough stock for that uh 68,796 units of just the oled model another 60,512 units of the switch along with 38,470 units of the switch light now one thing i've been saying about switch this entire time and pokemon brilliant diamond shiny pro kind of proves a point because it didn't review very well by all expectations it should sell worse than uh sword and shield in fact maybe just based on reviews it should be better placed around pokemon let's go evie uh and pikachu which sold around 1112 million but it definitely feels like pokemon brilliant diamond shiny pro with this sort of debut in japan and obviously debuting really well in the uk is probably going to be a 15 plus million seller and it kind of proves a point that i've been talking about this whole time one there's the switch effect where every game is selling better on switch i don't know what the reasoning is we had the we sell 100 million units we have the dsl 150 million units and they didn't have this sort of impact on sales now specific game sure the we sports the we fits but we're seeing mario the best selling mario card game of all time it's on switch the best selling animal crossing in all time it's on switch the best selling zelda game of all time it's on switch the best selling 3d mario game of all time it's on switch everything is selling better on switch the best selling that we just mentioned is on switch it's really interesting to see this happen now technically the best selling pokemon is still the original um releases on gen one but man pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl which definitely looked like a game that didn't take a lot of development time now pokemon diamond and shining pearl which obviously didn't take a ton of development time is able to do this and not only show the health of pokemon and obviously show that the whole dexit situation really wasn't that big of a deal to the pokemon company and the overall fan base of pokemon i know there's a lot of you very passionate about the fact that we're at least according to game freak never going to have all the pokemon available in a single game again um yeah it really proved a point you know sword and shield sold 20 plus million this is the next game after that and it looks like it's on pace to sell over 15 million pokemon legends arceus next year which has even less pokemon is likely going to sell another 10 plus million uh pokemon is super healthy the switch is super healthy and if you release a much anticipated game on switch it's going to sell well i mean at this point we'll breath of the wild to outsell the original breath of the wild maybe we'll have to wait and see um so to me this is just another level of proof that not only does everything sell on switch and sell at high numbers but also if you create something that's highly anticipated which a gen for pokemon uh remake or reboot or whatever you want to call this um has been highly anticipated it's going to sell well so reviews be damned pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl is obviously a mega smash hit success for the holiday season for nintendo mario party superstars continues to perform really really well that has a chance to be another 10 million seller we'll see if it can outsell i think it should outsell the other super mario party but we'll have to wait and see on the long tail sales of that uh but yeah i can't wait for nintendo's official update uh after this holiday season because it these numbers are going to be astronomical i mean switch might have broke another holiday record let's just put it that way moving on our next story is about this really interesting um switch accessory that you can go support and buy for yourself it's called the orion up switch and it takes your handheld um switch gaming and basically gives you a tv an 11.6 inch tv so on the surface it kind of looks dumb but i think this is the right idea the wrong execution so look the switch form factor especially with oled i think is perfectly fine at essentially a seven inch screen i think that is the perfect big screen size for switch i don't think we need a bigger screen i think the premise here is something promising and that is being able to take the tv experience and make it handheld because in tv you get 1080p in tv you get usually higher frame rates and better performance on your games so being able to do that portably will be nice so really what i think this should be is a super thin you know that they do exist a super thin uh screen that can go over the top of the switch oled or base switch that's a 1080p screen and then behind that should be maybe maybe you want to make a little thicker it's up to you but behind that i feel like should be a uh a system that not only straps your switch into the back but adds battery power which this one does add battery power but you add that battery power in so you can get the full tv mode for at least two and a half to three hours on the go and suddenly on a seven inch display especially if they gave you an oled panel to match the switch oled you can end up with a seven inch oled panel at 1080p running the games at full resolution and full frame rates like you get in tv mode now wouldn't this add some extra heft absolutely so does the aryan up switch but the aryan up switch as it is is a little bit insane i mean they have this marketing material that says ever since the release of the nintendo switch more than 80 million gamers globally have made gaming on the go a huge part of their daily ritual unfortunately many of these gamers also believe that this handheld gaming experience is a bit underwhelming because of the miniscule size of the current nintendo switch screen and i think that is actually incorrect i think they just feel like the screen should be 1080p and we should have the full performance like we get when we dock it and my idea is to basically take what they're doing here but make it more user friendly on the go i think that this is a little ridiculous you're seeing some images of it you saw probably a little trailer of it the trailer itself isn't very good there's a lot of flash bang in it not a lot of form and function so yeah i look it's a cool thing um i mean it's on indiegogo uh it runs for you know it's not the cheapest thing 289 dollars for the hero pack i think 249 dollars for just the basic uh which i think the hero pack comes with a case um and a t-shirt or something so really 250 bucks it seems is what it's going to cost and honestly it still has massive bezels it's still i don't know i mean that screen they're giving you isn't OLED it's LCD so it's not going to be a better viewing experience um but it will be 1080p and you will be able to get higher frame rates in a lot of games so it's a good idea i think wrapped in the wrong way of doing it they're focusing more on basically giving you a giant tv to hold versus making a better screen technology with a battery that can enable tv mode on the go um that's what i would have focused on so um i'm sure a product now that i mentioned that's probably going to come into existence now because i think it's actually a brilliant idea add a few more pounds out of your switch it might add a little heft but you'll get that full 1080p with everything i think i think that there's some value here i think the way they're doing it it's a little bit more ridiculous uh it does come in the kickstand of course you can set it on but like at that point just play on your tv so anyway folks i am the tanya rubble james from nintendo prime thank you so much for tuning in um there won't be a live stream tonight like i planned i wasn't gonna do a gaming live stream if you can't tell my voice is a little hoarse not because i'm sick let's just say the holidays did not go as planned um my voice might have uh gotten to an argument with some family members so uh i kind of blew it out so i'm kind of resting it on these longer stream videos because we have prime giving this sunday and i want to make sure i'm all good to go for that so thank you guys for tuning in and i'll catch you in the next video


Hello and a warm welcome to NewsClick. I'm your host Neelu Vyas. You're going to find me on this platform every week with a brand new show called Point of View which is going to get you views, analysis, discussions centered around the forthcoming Vidhan Sabha elections in the five states. Our focus will not be on the nonsensical scuffles typical of the TV studios but we will dive deep to understand the issues which will define the election, the issues that will matter to the people and the country. So let's begin our first episode today with Battleground Uttar Pradesh. Whoever wins UP becomes the king of Delhi and that's one political reality and the other reality being the fact that this North Indian state cannot be won without alluring the different communities. Hence the most successful mantra is to polarize and so far every effort seems to be made to polarize on the religious lines. Hence the Hindutva card is being played to the hilt. We see a return of Mandir politics spiced up with holy dips and the Ganges, puja rituals, liberal mention of Kashi, Mathura and Ayodhya. But will this work for BJP or backfire in the year 2022? Joining me now my esteemed panelists, Professor Apurvananth from Delhi University, political commentator, columnist, I welcome you on the program sir. My next panelist is MK Venu, the founding editor, the wire. Welcome Venu on the program and Samajwadi party spokesperson Ashutosh Varma. Welcome on the program. To begin with this discussion I'll first of all go to Professor Apurvananth. Can we really assume that this 2022 elections in Uttar Pradesh is really going to be different from the previous elections which we've seen? As you rightly said, Mandir and Kashi and now Mathura is being invoked. Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh is telling his constituents that money that was used for fortification of Kabristsans is now being used for Tirthistsans and the home minister is telling his constituents that the Exodus of Hindus has been stopped by Uttar Pradesh government under Yogi Adityanath and Exodus. He didn't say in so many words but his constituents understand that Exodus was taking place because of criminals who happened to be Muslims. That is what he indicated and was repeated by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister doesn't mean worse and he goes on telling his people that earlier terrorists were being patronized and criminals were being patronized and now Adityanath is playing jail, jail with criminals. So this dog whistle with not so dog whistle speeches by BJP leaders including the Home Minister, Prime Minister and Chief Minister make it very clear that BJP is trying to frame it in terms of Hindutva which is essentially anti-Muslim. So they are trying to create a Hindu Uttar which is anti-Muslim in a sense. That is the attempt and other parties are helping because Samajwadi party is again trying to speak a Hindu language without being anti-Muslim which in my opinion is going to reinforce the message that the Bhartijanta party is sending across because if you frame everything in terms of Hindu then who is Hindu is that Hindu is being defined by the BJP and the resources of Samajwadi party and the Congress party and others are not sufficient to define Hindu in some other way. So what you are doing essentially you are not addressing Muslims you are not addressing non-Hindus which are also hotel which is very sad but this is how the election is being framed. Right but Venu if I come to you can we are in a position to really say that we are seeing a return of Hindutva as we've never seen before more radicalized, more aggressive. How would you really see the phenomena unfolding or rather I could say an epi phenomena if I could say. See there is no doubt Neelu that Hindutva has assumed its most aggressive and pervasive form in the last seven, eight years and as Apurbanan says dog the cells it's almost become a default option for the BJP and for the Liza Sanj Pariva and this is not now this started from if you remember when Mr. Modi came to power 2014 first major speech from Redford August 15th if you recall he said that he would want the country man his country man everybody in India to not talk about divisive issues basically to put divisive issues on the back burner for at least I think he said about five to ten years and at that time a lot of people thought maybe that he was very serious about putting divisive issues on the back burner and bring development and economic development and other development issues to a forefront. Immediately after that came the RSS chief's big statement of Garwapsi and after that we all know the entire campaign around around cow slaughter, beef, consumption, love jihad and these things happened almost in an attack on Christians if you remember 2015 there was an attack on Christians. All these things were aimed at of course Hindu consolidation but when I seen some of them happening during the during Vashpayee's time also and even before that but these were never so well orchestrated by the broader pariva like you see suddenly some attacks of churches happened 2015 at that time Jaitley said no these are not ideological these are random then suddenly for three four years these things don't happen then suddenly it starts again recently so the question obviously how do these random things start happening with such impeccable timing before UP election suddenly Haridwar happened before UP suddenly talk about Mathura happened before UP and obviously the Adityanath is there the new Hindu icon for the pariva so these are these are very obvious but I would also equally say Nilu that that he has not this government has been so miserable on the economic front if you see UP's you know Niti Ayog's report on health indices it's at the bottom UP child health women health women's health you know women's participation in the labor force 91% of the women in UP Nilu are out of the labor force they're not even looking for work and we have Mr. Modi Prime Minister talk about from Priyagraj women empowerment of women so so the rhetoric the claims and the reality there is such a wide gulf that this gulf can only be covered through Hindutva rhetoric so ultimately no they they are playing various cards you know they're playing the you know backward OBC card if you remember for the first time I mean I'm people covering BJP for 40 years have never heard a formal press conference of BJP saying that that 40 40 percent of the cabinet new inductees are backwards I mean they have never formally I mean they would they would in that backward but they would never formally claim in a press conference you know so therefore non-other OBCs they are wooing them which they would earlier also so so there is the backward politics they're playing and the Hindutva politics which is a default politics of BJP and then there is also this development politics saying that so essentially they are throwing everything at the kitchen sink they are not confident obviously they are they have they don't have confidence at all on the economic front and I'll finally end by saying in my experience every 12 to 13 years inflation price rise becomes a monster of an issue and it comes and devours the the party the regime in power I think it happened in 2011-2012 you know UPS suffered it it happened earlier also and I think price rise is a big issue and these people are internally very worried about it the BJP is extremely worried about it it's not seem to be worried but the big question is whether this phantom of price rise is really going to engulf BJP because the aggressive Hindutva pitch which they are making the return of Mandir politics but one thing which is very intriguing Ashutosh and I would like really like to ask you on this that BJP's temple run is understandable everybody knows that it's a default politics of BJP but why are parties like Samajwadi party you know playing on this unfamiliar pitch because it's an unfamiliar pitch for you the way Akhilesh Yadav has been saying that you know I see Lord Krishna in my dreams and especially after Harnath Singh Yadav wrote a letter to JP Nadha saying that you know the yogi should contest from Mathura it seems that you are you fallen in the same trap you are fallen in the trap of BJP Ashutosh. Nillu I think there is a huge difference between what Mr. Venu has said that they are a Hindu supporter they are also anti-muslim way of Bharti Janta party initially Bharti Janta party was supposed to be a party of a Hindu supporter with a majority of talking about temple Lord Rama and Lord Krishna but now the new Bharti Janta party is also anti-muslim party and it's very clear because they want to suppress one's society so that they kind of catch a large variety majority vote from them. Samajwadi party has been always been accused the party of Yadav and Muslim movies and we know that they are always attacking all this only but we know that the only way to come out from this is to have overall OVC politics in the front of Uttar Pradesh. We started with various outfits small parties which are leading parts in the various pockets in the Uttar Pradesh such as Janwadi party Mahandal and Rajbal and the Krishna Patel party and then we made a coalition so that the most of the pockets can be covered on the basis of socio-economic caste senses we talk about caste senses we do. At this point at this point we can only get about 7 to 8 more percent than the previous 2017 elections and if you see this is my my our perception if you see the election is going in 2020 it is a by way election between Samajwadi party and Bharti Janta party. Bharti Janta party has grabbed about 38.9 percent of electoral gain and we have 21.8 what we assume that the new government will form something about 35 to 37 percent in between this so we need at least 13 percent more votes from all the parties including Bhaujan Samaj party including India National Congress and also the from the Bharti Janta party. Don't you think that this is an uphill task for Samajwadi party I mean you moved out of your M.Y. combination the Muslim Yadav combination which which you really claim off but how are you going to reach out to that percentage of voters you're claiming that's that's what we are that's what we are saying so initially we grabbed all the party leaders from various outputs from Bhaujan Samaj party from Congress from Amadhi party so that they joined the Samajwadi party even the Kadi Rana who's one of the accused in there he was also joining Samajwadi party even Harid Murry who is the one of the supporter of Prenge Gandhi and Sunya Gandhi is now with Samajwadi party most of the sitting MLA's of some Bhaujan Samaj party is with the Samajwadi party but what we gain till now is about seven to eight percent only so now our telly is expected to something about thirty one thirty two percent we need extra at least seven percent from to make the government and from where we can get this so two way we have either we snatch or some something from Bharti Janta party number one number two we can also have an eye on new voters about one crore new voters has been added in new voter list which has been added yesterday which has been published yesterday so our main focus is now adding from thirty one to reach to thirty eight is to attract all these things we also want to remove this stamp that we are not only MY we are something MLA and youth we are progressive we also claim that we have done such a development from 2012 to 2017 so it's we know that it's it's not our pitch to go and say all that thing but it's a part of society we can't reject that. Is that the reason Ashutosh if I may interrupt you is that the reason that you're playing this so called secular Hindu card because you are supposed to be a secular you are supposed to play a secular Hindu card right now so I think it's a general it's a journalist term secular Hindu I think there is nothing like secular Hindu Hindu is always a secular either you like when we say that BJP is an anti-muslim party so that's why I asked you I don't say I don't say BJP was never anti-muslim party now they are pretending themselves as a anti-muslim party because it is benefiting to them and you recall of Atal Bihari Bajveji you said you have the senior leaders the senior journalist did they know that Atal Bihari Bajveji Bharti Yanda party never said that they are anti-muslim they never have a mob lynching you have never heard a word like mob lynching you never heard a government has poses NIA who has given a protest against this and if they are from certain religion so they want to suppress one's IT to attract the majority of politics but what we presume that the things have been changed from 2012 to 2022 10 years has gone and the even the Uttar Pradesh has also seen a development in last 10 years I will not deny that Bharti Yanda party has not done something but definitely we feel that these foundation has been laid by Akhilesh Yadavji who was the person in 2013 who distributed 18 lakhs laptop and now Bharti Yanda party is coming and giving the smartphone and tablets in 2022 so they are about eight ten years back to us they are coming to us so I think it's a main of number game how you catch attract your voters how you grab the percentage because it's a one to one fight and we don't want to lose any aspect at that time definitely we are not so hard liner on any religious we don't talk of religious criminalization we don't want to have a criminal polarization but also we don't want to have a tag like they are the party of only M. Y. No because these questions Ashutosh these questions are being asked because in Netaji's tenure it was unthinkable you know for for any leader from the Samajwadi party to visit Mandir or to talk about Lord Krishna so this is this is really you know a line which the party has not taken early how you how you portray if you recall in Netaji's kushti he always pradam with Hanumanji put a tika on himself and then he do a kushti each and everything but at that time the media was not like this he's polarizing that Netaji do Hanuman puja like this or Bharti Yanda party I think the scenario has been changed it's a very dynamic politics so we don't want to suppose the criminal polarization has been done by Uttar Pradesh by Bharti and the party in next few few weeks what was the option then you say oh so we don't want to leave any stone unturned we all to attack on every we are doing on the youth and we have started new campaign in the industries level vote for Akhilesh vote for Uttar Pradesh we have done all the religious work also we have done all the minorities work also so in in in fact Akhilesh is talking about the minorities issues he has just raised the issue of Anglo-Indian also in the last rally so definitely we are we have to face every challenger I can't say that it's a very hard liner that we are totally not going to temples and not talking about the Lord Ramakrishna why should it's a matter of people they want to hear he bought Akhilesh other things about the Ram so we say that we worship Ram but we don't Ram in the we don't pick Ram in politics hmm but is it how many people would take Samajwadi party seriously if you if you are going on a temple run but but but that's that's the point besides and whether it gets converted to votes or not that's something to watch to you know watch out for but professor Purva Nant given the aggressive pitch of Hindutva I really wonder that what about the issue of anti-incumbency how does it really get blunted or how is it really going to unfold nobody's talking about anti-incumbency against the Yogi Adityanath government how do we see that issue unfolding I was reading the reports filed by Anubhav Chandra's role where he discusses these issues and he says that BJP has an edge over others despite economic deprivations that people are suffering from as Venu rightly said but this Hindutva thing and this aggressive anti-Muslim is that the BJP has has played this has put BJP in advantage so this anti-incumbency is not being talked about or at least Hindus are not thinking about it because a more pronounced anti-Muslim hate campaign has been unleashed from all corners and media is participating in it so the Hindu mindscape is has been captured by this anti-Muslim and anti-minority studies are yet to be done because what we are speaking we are speaking based on perception and and some observation we need serious study to understand the voter psychology and how voters behave and what do they think and over a period of time how their choice is developed and what exactly is the anti-incumbency because if you were expecting this government to deliver Hindu victory that is what this government has delivered Hindu victory so did the electorate ever expect development from this government as we understand development to be or is Hindu electorate always expected it to it to deliver that victory of Hindus over Muslims and that it has done successfully so when we when we talk about anti-incumbency we also have to think about what the expectation of the electorate was and and so what has been done and I I I think what generally political parties have done they have turned people into certified objects bound to government schemes so you give 6000 rupees 12 000 rupees to give this scheme and you give that scheme there is no vision of good life which is being which parties offer to people what good life is so you promise them we will give you 6000 rupees so what's the difficulty for a BJP government to give them 6000 rupees or 12 000 rupees or some other scheme so that's what the BJP government has done the political parties will have to think seriously why don't they talk about what a decent society is and how people should live and what a good life is what is that vision and why do the fall for I I understand the predicament which parties like from Ajwathli party suffer from and and my friend rightly said that he would like votes to come from all parties and this is this is how it should happen that you should get votes from all sections of society and you should should not be a political party tied to only one social base that is a truly democratic aspiration of any political party the BJP has made it very clear that it doesn't expect and it doesn't want votes from Muslims and it so it's trying to I would say craft a Hindu which is so decide decisively anti-Muslim that it would forget all its material wants and material will bring to to or sacrifice all of them for this spiritual spiritual gain it is yeah that is how I look at it right but we know that what Apurbanan just said we see a complete psychological annihilation of of a voter if you particularly talk about UP and of course it's happening across the states with doles with freebies where people have stopped thinking about issues like governance issues that matter to them they are happy with cylinders being doled out they are happy with a monthly emolument which is being given out so does really BJP wants the does BJP really want an awakened voter or for that matter other political parties as well? See Neelu there are you know there are two things to me are very clear you were talking earlier about anti-incumbency now UP in the last 35 years has never returned the same government again right this now people are speculating this might be if BJP has an edge this time it could be probably the first time that that an incumbent government you know you know is returned to power right so now my sense is within BJP in their internal deliberations there is some worry worry about anti-incumbency which is why my information is that until about two months ago the the main slogan for UP was to be Firek Bar Yogi Sarkar now it was it was to be hinged entirely on Adityanath but then they figured that that there are problems with with Adityanath his leadership probably he was he was to be projected as a Hindu leader but he's coming across the messaging is that he's coming as a Thakur leader there are all kinds of problems with and and therefore Modi Prime Minister Modi steps in in a big way and they from a campaign which was supposed to be sent centering totally around Adityanath it is now you know Modi coming and taking pictures together Mr Modi putting his hands around Adityanath's arm doing the you know Kashi thing also you know inaugurating roads but it's it's always Modi also there so Modi is trying to bring his it's very clear his vote catching ability to the table and and they are worried about non-yadav obisis this time one good thing in my view one one interesting thing Akhilesh Yadav has succeeded in doing is that he's struck alliance with small small other non-yadav obisis you know Rajbhar's and you know Patel's and others it is it is bothering them this is bothering the the BJP because if two to three percent of the voters leave you know you know there are about I don't know there the total non-yadav obisis are upward of 30% in UP, 35% but they are there they are in very small denomination two to percent one percent you know like that four percent so so if if he managed to pull some of you know nibble a little bit from each one of these you know sections there could be a there could be a surprise and and I for I for one I was very I was it was very instructive for me to see in a televised program in a in a proper debate on UP elections Swami Prasad Maurya a senior you know leader minister in the cabinet he very openly said that that we I mean he left the BSP he said we have joined BJP for real power sharing so far and he said we have not got real power sharing so far we have just been fobbed off with I mean he didn't say so many words but he he implied that so far we are just getting symbolic you know kind of now that is also why it's a it's a very uphakur oriented government and they are worried about Brahmins being not being very happy which which newspapers are reporting why so all I'm saying is there is anti-incumbency but there of course their hope is that their Vindutva campaign as Apurvanan said their their dog whistle campaigns Kabiristan you know you know Tirstan, Kashi, Vishwanath Naum, Mathura all these they are hoping will will stem this this fall or this erosion in there in the various non-Yadav UBC you know words after all they're also Hindus so so I would end by saying that in 2017 and also in 2019 Mr Modi successfully managed to you know earlier there used to be the narrative that that it was Mandal versus Kamandal right there was the two used to be seen as binaries but I think Modi succeeded to some extent in infusing the two in converting Mandal into Kamandal so Hinduization of you know OBCs now that in my view that will not sustain unless he delivers on the ground delivers genuine power sharing on the ground I'm not just saying economic development now they they're all they've all become very aspirational the Rajbars and the you know Moria's and all they want they want real power as Swami Prasad Moria said that to me is an interesting sociological or whatever you know social engineering study absolutely but Ashutosh if you had a look at the ABPC voter survey it still says that BJP is going to form the next government in Uttar Pradesh and Samajwadi party is on number two with 130 to 139 seats so don't you think that you would have stood a chance better if you would have aligned with parties like Congress or BSP which which so far seem to be a strict no-no for Samajwadi party so I think Mr. Venu has hinted something about Swami Prasad Moria and he has diverted the thing so look Congress and Bahujan Samajwadi party has already been joined with the Samajwadi party in the last four years most of the influential people from both parties have joined and the perception of Uttar Pradesh has been very clear that neither Bahanji nor Congress is contesting fairly enough in any seats even their prediction that Congress can hardly is a seat hardly one of a single seat or two seat in Uttar Pradesh so I don't think we will be benefited and the previous experience was also not so happy with all these things so definitely we hit on this mandal because we always know that this mandal is always heavy on this command and that's the way the Bharti Janta party has also changed the past their path at various times if you talk about the July they have extension they have given the extension to union cabinet and inducted about 15 members of OBC committee in the cabinet and it was the first time in the history of India that Prime Minister had shouted this loudly in the parliament that we have made it such amount of OBCs in our cabinet and none of the Prime Minister has said like this so initially they want to come on attack on non-Yadav OBCs and then want to give the cabinet but suddenly they feel that now the development issue is also very important the rolling prices of petrol diesel is also a problem the LPG prices is also a problem but the general perceptions of the five years yogi Adityanath Sarkar is there that this is the upper caste mostly dominantly Chhatriya party which has been if you see about the cabinet there are about 12 about six cabinet of Brahmin committee about eight or nine cabinet of Chhatri committee and only five of OBC and what you said that Swap Sath Moria has come from the smart party to this way BJP just want to have a sharing of power but what is the actual reason what your actual position right now majority of Bharti Janta party OBCs MLA say that yes this is this is not like that what we feel is sorry for that and I think in in a day or two when the board of conduct has been regulated you see most of the things will be changes because this is a clear cut concept why you are ignoring some some sundays not only the Muslim they're also you know they're making the powerless MLA's of OBC committees even the SC committees so I think that this party is very strong then they are they are also defaming our ourselves by making charges on corruption on a Kaleshi they are making CBI and IT rates so I think the public is very very open-minded sweet in 2007 the Uttar Pradesh has first time given full majority to Bhaujan Samaj party what happened to same public in 2012 they have rejected Samaj Bhaujan Samaj party and given full power to Samaj Bhati party and the same public the same voters have given full power something majority to Bhati and the party so they don't excuse you if you have a mistake then a mistake so that's what we want to say that this is a new Samaj Bhati party who is neither anti upper caste anti lower caste neither radical Hindu nor radical secular you want to have a very soft and if when you're talking about the why Samaj Bhati party is talking about the Vishnu and see if you see about the Delhi election why Arvind Kejriwal was chanting about the Hanuman Chalsa in the open forum because Delhi is a population of progressive people they want they want the party a part of our extreme right or extreme blood so similarly Mamta Ji has done right so what we feel that Indian Indians are more sentimental to the religious we can't be a very right way or very left way so it's a matter that ticket right wing is coming in the power but they don't expect to come like this way you are you are meeting somebody yeah and but if you talk about creating a very sane and a very logical democracy people say that you have to keep politics and religion away from each other but that that's a different I think that's yeah no no I know that's what that's what I said it's it's a utopian concept in in the Indian context but Professor Purbanand in this whole fight between BJP and the Samaj Bhati party people are really not talking about the the noise made by Congress look at Piyanka Gandhi the way she is wooing the the women voters especially you know with these marathons and she she has done her bit so to say if not Rahul Gandhi has put in his entire might but where does Congress really stand at the moment in Uttar Pradesh in in many ways it's a beginning for Congress party organization of Congress party had withered away in the last 20 years Congress had demoralized there were no there were no real leadership left and in in the state all the presidents of the UP Congress spend their time in Delhi so workers were feeling left out there was no relationship between leadership and the head of Congress party in I think this is the first time the leadership is making a serious bid to rebuild its organization and it's a welcome thing I I I would say that what Priyanka Gandhi is doing would ultimately help the Samaj Bhati party because Priyanka Gandhi is organizing a water base or people's base which could be definitely and BJP and it would help Samaj Bhati party because as my friend like rightly said that still Congress is not seen as a serious contender for power in Uttar Pradesh so the people who are supporting Congress would vote for Samaj Bhati party is the one to vote out because they believe in the ideology of the Congress party and if you talk to Congress people privately they would agree and they would say that we don't mind it because the prime objective is to oust BJP because it's very dangerous and and I think what Priyanka Gandhi is doing and it it looks it is very feverish it's the temperature is very high and it would be a challenge for the Congress leadership to sustain it for the next two years or three years till 2024 so the problem with Congress has been that the only adhesive force for Congress workers is in power so if you don't offer power I should I come to you but this is the first time they are trying to build an ideology base and it's very good Priyanka Gandhi it has also taken because she has talked about attack on Muslims that people have visited families of those who were assaulted or killed during anti-CEA movement she offered security Congress party offered security to Dr. Afil Khan so it was very open support to Muslims and it was huge risk because to be seen as sympathetic to Muslims is now seen as an electoral risk nobody wants to take so privately they would go and sympathize with Muslims but publicly they don't like to be seen in company with Muslims so I think what the Congress party is doing and the leadership of Priyanka Gandhi is is very healthy for Indian democracy and for for the state of the nation but it needs to be sustained over a period of time next two years three years they will have to organize your organization and then they will have to make a serious pledge for power because in India change changes take place through elections and you have to be seen as a serious player in elections right but you rightly said that you know somewhere down the line Priyanka is trying to galvanize you know all the efforts of Samajwadi party before I go to Wayne yes Ashutosh you wanted to button at that yes since I'm a not official spokesperson of Congress party but I do agree with what the Puranji has said so what we feel as a layman as a layman since most of the my relatives are in rivalry what we feel that there is a lack of communication between the Congress party leaders and the normal public see a Puranji is telling that Dr. Kapil has got a security personal security for Congress and Kapil is my good friend even I don't know about this Dr. Kapil is also predetition I am a predetition we talk regularly but even I don't so what that the major problem is communication from 2014 to 2019 they have lost almost all elections except Rajasthan and Madhupuresh and the party who was one of the part of Indian independence and the party who is not ever in the independence struggle is giving a certificate of nationalism so this is a part of problem with Congress they have not changed their communication strategy with the people and that's the way they are not I do agree that Prenkaji is doing very good but it's too late for Uttar Pradesh and as a Puranji has said that the people want to vote Samajwadi party just to pull out Bharti and the party and then we will see what to do next and this is my personal view about that but what do you really think that you know has Congress really thrown the gauntlet and they've said that okay we've surrendered because yesterday the way they announced that of course COVID is the reason why they cancelled all their rallies but it is also perceived as a fact that you know they have sometimes I mean they look like in a surrender mode they know that they are not going to win and they've taken a moral high ground of course making COVID as a reason but they've surrendered altogether. Yeah in the sense you know that's the impression that Neelu what you just said is the impression that even people have so that's not very good for a political party if people perceive that a party like Congress is not seriously fighting elections and to some extent I feel like when Priyanka made that big speech about reserving you know 40% of the seats for women should have come about a year earlier and should have worked through that strategy I don't know whether they have so many women candidates I don't know how they're going about it I got the impression that the announcement was made and then they were thinking it through I don't think they're taught through the whole thing before announcing that that's the impression I have but having said that it's a good strategy to bring that many women you know in politics making them you know bringing them in the electoral fray and the other point Neelu is that Akhilesh Yadav I remember after the last elections defeat he in one of my meetings with him he told me that the the alliance did not work because both either with both with Congress and BSP because because the vote transfer didn't did not happen you know in the sense you know the BSP votes were not coming to him his votes went to BSP in the case of Congress because they were alive with Congress the you know Brahmins who would otherwise voted for Congress did not go so so in a way it's good that these people are fighting separately so the finally I would say the the real if you keep aside I mean I go with Sanjay Kumar's analysis CSDS he wrote a piece recently Sanjay Kumar he said that BSP is say 18-19% vote is like it's it's solid and it doesn't move anywhere now besides that for the remaining 92% votes there is a bipolar fight between BJP and Samaj. But if that is a situation I think it's it's it's a good it's a good thing to happen because I think the the opposition votes will not get needlessly fragmented if that is the case if what Sanjay Kumar says is the case. This entire campaign in Uttar Pradesh is really going to be interesting and all eyes would be on the narratives which are built over the next one month what all does BJP say and how does Samaj Vadi Party really counter it it's a big challenge but all eyes would be on the campaign which is built up over the next one month.
