Our dear Prime Minister

is highly knowledgeable.

He's a scholar in many subjects.

But what good is such wisdom

when you don't know that not everyone can be whipped by the same stick.

When I didn't fall for his fake promises like others did,

he resorted to scare tactics using Maheshwari Commission and CBI action.

Dear Prime Minister, every child in Bihar knows

that Rani Bharti can die but cannot be intimidated.

Delhi is a nice city, right?

But I never liked it.

On my first visit to Delhi, I saw them selling water.

I told Saheb, "this city is doomed,

how can water even be sold!"

After a few days, I saw water being sold in Bihar too.

Then I realised, for the house to be running smoothly,

the village should do well.

The village does well when the state functions well.

Likewise, for the state to do well,

the nation has to function optimally.

But running the country and Delhi with discipline

is no easy feat.

If I take on this additional responsibility,

I won't do justice to either Delhi or Patna.

Maheshwari Commission's report

is built on lies, and unless I shatter it along with Joshi's pride,

I won't accept any post!

So, right here in your presence,

I resign from the post of chief minister.

Hold on. What are you doing, madam?

We reject your resignation.

We reject your resignation.

Please take that decision back, madam.

You can't fight Delhi empty-handed.

We won't accept your resignation.

Stop murmuring like insects.

People who oppose the CM's resignation, say it aloud.

Rani Bharti, withdraw your resignation!

Rani Bharti, withdraw your resignation!

Rani Bharti, withdraw your resignation!

Rani Bharti, withdraw your resignation!

I have made up my mind.

And I won't change my decision,

because this decision will change many fates.

Prime Minister, tighten your seat belt...

Rani Bharti is coming to Delhi.

As per Maheshwari Commission's report,

after being accused of the murder of ex-Governor Govardhan Das,

Chief Minister of Bihar Rani Bharti has resigned.

Yes, mom, I'm there.

You know I had a long day, right?

Yet I'm here.

Of course...

All right.

Just hold on.

Mom wants to know if you took your blood pressure medicine.

How long will she manage my health from afar?

Why not come here?

She's on the line. Speak to her.

I've been waiting for 4 years.

Unless she shifts here, I won't speak to her.

You heard it, right?

Okay, you don't worry.

You two won't stop fighting

and I end up being the messenger.

Update on Skyron?

The deal is going well. Americans are happy.

But Chennai sometimes acts out of the way.

Why?

We made it clear to Sunderraja,

that this is what we want.

In Chennai, either wife 1 gets miffed

or wife 2 makes special demands.

Either Nelson gets insecure or the daughter puts conditions.

Tell me one thing.

How do you deal with them?

Like this.

Rani Bharti's supporters are urging her to withdraw her resignation.

But Rani Bharti refuses to change her mind.

I didn't expect her to resign so easily.

What a surprising move!

Before I'd behead her,

she stepped down to become a hero.

Rani doesn't know she has more enemies on the inside than outside.

She's opened a can of worms.

What will happen in Patna?

A fierce fight.

- Have you eaten yet? - Yes.

Arrange energy drinks. It's a busy day.

Serve it to the villagers.

Hello, Jai!

Oh wow, look who's here.

Lovely.

I got you a new ride.

- New ride for a new journey. - Lovely.

New ride for new journey? It's not my birthday, Rishi.

This day is no less important.

Consider it a gift. Just get in.

Meaning?

I mean, I have managed all party workers.

Soon they'll chant a different slogan.

No more 'Rani Bharti, withdraw your resignation!'

But "Who should be our CM? Jaiprakash Bharti!"

I let things slide for the sake of our friendship.

That doesn't mean you can talk rubbish, Rishi.

I won't be the CM as long as my mother is alive.

Rani Bharti was the CM of Bihar

and always will be. Take my word.

Hello.

Respected legislators, you all know

we have gathered to choose our new chief minister.

You are requested to go inside one by one and state

your opinion freely before the party observers.

Jamuna Prasadji, who do you choose as the new CM?

Rani aunty has always been the CM of Bihar.

She can be reinstated. That won't change anything.

I went to Delhi last week.

Rani aunty is the topic of discussion

in every nook and corner.

We don't think ahead.

Rani aunty is farsighted.

I'll give you this in writing. This is my prophecy...

Rani aunty will become this country's Prime Minister,

and you'll become Bihar's youngest CM,

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Apart from Rani Bharti, nobody deserves to lead this party.

Jamuna Prasad ji, we all take her as our leader.

But she has stepped down.

Who will you choose as your CM?

A mother can't be replaced, Mr Mishra

We know you're her strong supporter.

But she wants the party to choose a new CM.

No way...

There are many qualified people in the party.

You are one of them.

You know, the people of Bihar

see Bheema Bharti in you.

Doctor, who will you vote for?

You don't understand.

The senior leaders of the party, old guard,

won't support me.

Mom won't approve of my selection either.

What's the harm in assessing your power?

If Rani aunty opposes, you can back off.

But at least show her once how popular

Jaiprakash Bharti is within the party!

Look at the grandeur.

Welcome. Welcome.

Who will you choose as the new CM?

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Who's your CM candidate?

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Who do you choose as the new CM?

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti?

S N Mishra!

The party can trust only you after Rani Bharti, Mishra ji.

Just try telling the MLAs

you're also in the race

and you'll see that you'll be their first choice.

Doctor,

it's not about personal choices,

but the good of the party and the state.

Exactly my point.

The legislators are being pressurised.

They're being lured with money and position.

- Who's doing it? - Rishi Aggarwal,

Akshanta Group.

Who is he doing this for?

Jaiprakash Bharti.

I am a doctor,

and I believe in starting treatment as soon as the symptoms appear.

Mr Mishra, I'm not voting for you as the next CM.

I want you to be the antidote to this disease.

Jai is incompetent to handle both, the party and Bihar.

I agree with you, doctor.

Everyone knows what I think about Jai.

But I am sure

Rani ji, will never choose Jai.

It's not only about stopping Jai,

but finding an alternative to Rani ji.

Assembly elections are next year.

I'm ready.

Very smart woman.

Rats are the first to leave

a sinking ship.

Hello, sir.

No, Nachiket. This is Nelson.

Hey Nelson, what is this?

Skyron wants to visit the site

and I'm told we have to cancel the trip.

Man, you tell me, how is it fair?

Fair is a matter of perspective, Nachiket.

We're running a government here.

And we like to follow the due process.

Now if the Environmental Ministry has raised red flags,

we will just have to look into the matter.

Okay, can I speak to the leader once?

I'm sure he will understand the situation better.

You know it's a Friday. Dad is in a public meeting.

Hey.

Tamil Nadu government refused

environmental clearance for Skyron.

- How much did you offer Srilata? - 10%

Make it 20.

But 20 would be too much, you know that.

"I swear on you. Your absence feels terrible."

"These sweet melodies."

"I swear on you. These sweet melodies."

"Your absence feels terrible."

"These sweet melodies."

"I swear on you."

You didn't see me for years in our youth.

Now that you've aged, you can't wait for a month.

I'm trying to compensate for things we missed in our youth.

Back then you weren't officially mine.

And now?

What do we call this relationship now?

Not every relationship needs a label.

I'm tired of this arrangement, Gayatri.

We live in the same city yet in different homes.

Do you plan to marry me now?

I've been requesting you for 4 years.

Now only one year is left.

At least shift to the PM house now.

What will you tell the people?

If I move in with you, the media will go crazy.

You know what they print as blind news anyway.

Heed me -

Let love be love - don't burden it with labels.

Mr.Gulzar, Khamoshi, Lata Di.

What a song!

Why did you say that just one year is left?

You will be back for the next term, Srini.

Running an alliance government with 16 parties is a tough job, Gayatri.

I managed this time around.

Not sure if I can do this again.

Srini,

if not you then who?

You were born in Andhra, studied in Kharagpur, Bengal.

You're a topper from St. Stephen's, Delhi.

You were in IFS and saw the world.

Tell me one more deserving person than you.

It's an election year

and coalition partners are leaving my side.

Now who?

Sunderraja, bastard!

Acting weird.

Placate him.

It is not difficult to convince an unprincipled guy like him.

It's the principled ones like Rani

that you should be concerned about.

When was the last time you went to Chennai?

It's been more than a year.

Go tomorrow.

Enjoy the dosa there.

Vijaya cooks well.

Sunderraja made her his second wife

for her culinary skills.

I haven't married even once!

Manik Sen, Bengal.

Balmukund Chaudhary, Uttar Pradesh,

and chief minister of Tamil Nadu, Sunderraja.

- Also, Srimant Naik from Maharashtra. - Okay.

Major Baldev Singh, Punjab.

Sajjad Ahmed Mir, Jammu Kashmir.

Send personal invites to them on my behalf.

There are more names,

- note down. - In your bid to straighten Delhi out,

don't leave Patna in a mess.

Anita ji, let's discuss the invitation.

And let's prepare the final list of the names that madam has given.

What's the matter, Mr. Mishra?

Madam, when Patna was known as Patliputragram,

Mahatma Buddha visited once.

His disciples asked him the fate of this state.

Buddha said,

"Patliputra doesn't face threat from outsiders."

"Either river Ganga will destroy it over or its own people will."

None of that made sense to me.

As you prepare to find your successor,

legislators are being bribed with money.

They're being threatened.

In whose favour?

- Jai. - Jai?

What's that?

More than 80 legislators have confessed

they don't want Jai to be the next CM.

32 of them gave in writing

that Rishi Aggarwal offered them money

to support Jai.

If that's true,

it raises a serious concern.

But the bigger question is,

who are the MLAs rooting for as the CM.

Who better than you would know that, Raniji!

Mom, many people in the party dislike Jai.

His methods

and his style rub many the wrong way.

But the young MLAs love him.

He worked really hard in the last elections.

Is Mr Mishra fuelling this rebellion against Jai?

What if he's become greedy for power after all these years?

No, mom. Mishra uncle's loyalty cannot be doubted.

But the party is divided.

Old guards vs the young turks.

Young MLAs support Jai,

and the others are with Mishra uncle.

Roshni,

if you were to choose one of them,

who would you go with?

Mom, if Jai weren't your son,

would you still ask this question?

In a shocking turn of events,

Prime Minister Sudhakar Sriniwas Joshi

reached the residence of the CM of Tamil Nadu, Sunderraja,

without prior intimation.

Sunderraja, accompanied by both his wives and his entire family,

welcomed Prime Minister Joshi

with traditional grace and ceremony.

PM Joshi's move is being seen as a way to keep Sunderraja,

who had been drifting away, closely tethered once again.

Given the way Sunderraja is welcoming the Prime Minister,

it appears he'll remain aligned with

the PM's National Vikas Front for the foreseeable future.

Try this.

Wow, Vijayaji.

Sunderraja and I don't have as many allies

as the number of chutneys you prepared!

That... Vijaya didn't make that.

Srilata did.

My first wife,

mother of my daughter Bharti, and others.

Vijaya made the dosa.

Mother of my son Nelson, and others.

See, home or outside, coalition always works.

Mr Joshi, if not for Srilata and Vijaya,

it would've been really tough for me to

greenlight the Skyron power project.

I have to run politics in home, and in Tamil Nadu.

Why only Tamil Nadu? Come to Delhi, become PM.

Somebody told long back,

no Hindi, no PM.

Unconcerned with Delhi politics,

no fluency in Hindi,

then why are you going to Patna on Rani's invitation?

Political courtesy.

You don't even attend funerals without motive.

Ain't I right, Nelson?...

Wrong move, Sunderraja.

Before you reach Patna,

CBI will be there to arrest Rani Bharti.

I don't spare people who challenge my authority.

You know that.

Long live Rani Bharti!

Long live Rani Bharti!

CBI, go back!

For the murder of the governor, CBI team

reached Patna to interrogate Rani Bharti.

As per sources, the CBI team might arrest Rani Bharti.

Dictatorship is unacceptable!

Dictatorship is unacceptable!

Dictatorship is unacceptable!

Dictatorship is unacceptable!

Down with Joshi Government!

Down with Joshi Government!

Down with Joshi Government!

Go back! Go back!

You can see the CBI team is outside the CM house

while Rani Bharti's supporters too have adopted an aggressive stance.

All eyes are now fixed

on what Rani Bharti's next move will be amid the escalating tensions.

Yes, counsel, why do you want custody of Rani Bharti?

My lordship,

we have evidence that Rani Bharti is the mastermind of the conspiracy to kill

former Bihar Governor, Govardhan Das.

Let the CBI do its job.

We have government orders.

We might have to use force otherwise.

Down with Joshi Government!

Down with Joshi Government!

Long live brother Jai!

Long live brother Jai!

Long live brother Jai!

Long live brother Jai!

Long live brother Jai!

Long live Rani Bharti!

Long live Rani Bharti!

The CBI team has failed to enter the CM's house despite all efforts.

Rani Bharti's son, Jaiprakash Bharti

won't let the CBI team inside

while in Supreme Court, Delhi,

a proceeding is underway for Rani Bharti's

anticipatory bail application.

And what evidence do you have?

Maheshwari Commission Report, sir.

It has the testimony of many witnesses, sir.

This is "Jaiprakash-line".

What? A "Jaiprakash-line".

Cross over and you'll be doomed.

You are trying to make a case

on statements of convicts like

Naveen Kumar and Prem Kumar,

who have been charged with the murder of Bheema Bharti, Rani Bharti's husband!

It looks like a clear-cut political vendetta.

Use force.

We want you to get violent,

so we can say

our men were provoked to get violent

and 4 CBI officers were killed.

My lord, she might use her position to influence them.

Hence, we want her custody to interrogate.

If that was the case,

she would have done so in the past 10 years

that she has been the CM.

Brothers, the CBI isn't working for the law.

They are goons sent by PM Joshi.

They harass people at PM Joshi's behest.

I ask you, if goons come

to arrest your mother, what will you do?

We will hack them.

- What will you do? - We will hack them.

- What will you do? - We will hack them.

Long live Jaiprakash!

Long live Jaiprakash!

She is discharging her constitutional duty.

Article 21 of the constitution

guarantees every person the right to life and liberty.

You've said this before.

Bail is a rule,

and jail, an exception.

She's a fit case for anticipatory bail.

The top headline of the hour.

Based on the Maheshwari Commission's report,

the Supreme Court has granted anticipatory bail

to Rani Bharti, the prime accused in the Govardhan Das murder case.

Upholding the primacy of personal liberty, the Court stated

that mere allegations are not grounds enough to send her to jail.

There's a meeting with MLAs tomorrow morning.

I spoke to them all.

Of 137, 86 MLAs want Mr. Mishra to be the CM,

and 51 choose Jai.

But it won't be easy to announce Mr. Mishra as the CM.

I know that.

The party is divided in two parts.

Kaveri, I am preparing to fight Joshi

while my family is fighting for the CM's chair.

You know about Jai's supporters.

They will never accept Mishra uncle.

Let's do one thing, madam.

You announce the new CM at the meeting tomorrow.

We'll get the MLAs to authorise

that you will choose the CM.

How will that help?

When you will announce Mr Mishra's name,

nobody will object,

not even Jai and his supporters.

I agree with her. I think that's a brilliant idea, mom.

No matter what happens,

Neither Jai, nor his supporters, would defy you.

Truth be told, this procedure of choosing a CM

by party workers should be abolished.

You asked me to announce the chief minister's name.

You have no idea

the kind of dilemma you've

left me to face.

Today, this party stands divided,

and I am perplexed.

What should I decide, and how?

Am I even allowed to choose out of free will?

Can I?

You know, counting on your support,

I decided to take on the central government.

I looked PM Joshi in his eyes and challenged him,

only to find in-fights amongst you!

This brawl has to end.

We have to stand united.

Hence, after much thought,

I have chosen our new candidate.

I hope you will offer unwavering support,

and that person will keep the party united.

The next Chief Minister of Bihar...

will be Roshni Bharti.
