Original subtitles

Madam, we go back years.

You never took even the smallest decision

without a discussion.

Strange, that you took such a huge one

without any consultation.

I chose Roshni to be the chief minister.

Do you object to that?

Yes, I do.

By making Roshni the CM,

you chose to ignore merit and experience.

You're encouraging dynastic politics.

You could've set a new example

and made history.

But you did exactly what

Bheema Babu did years ago

by choosing you.

There's no difference, madam.

There is.

There is a huge difference, Kaveri.

Saheb made me the CM

so, he could continue to be in power

and be the Super CM.

I have no such expectations from Roshni.

As for

merit and experience,

please tell me what do you mean by that?

Tell me.

In my opinion, without being given an opportunity,

you can neither show merit

nor gain experience.

What about Mr Mishra?

He had both.

You chose a young girl over him

and denied both him and Bihar of their rights.

In fact, you have denied

the rights of another Rani Bharti.

The chief minister's post

is not a reward for loyalty and sacrifice.

It's a complicated matter.

Choosing Roshni wasn't a selfish decision.

I did it for the betterment of the party and the state.

I saved the party from falling apart.

Time will tell

whether what I did was wrong

or did I give Bihar a new Rani Bharti.

Hello, sister.

- How are you? - Fine.

Jai?

Jai, open the door.

I promised mom we'll go together for the oath ceremony.

Hope you're ready.

Roshni, let's go. It's getting late.

What are you doing here?

Paswan uncle, give me a minute.

Raniji has asked me to get you there on time.

We have to welcome VIP guests.

Jai will join us later.

- It's oath... - Oath ceremony can wait, Paswan uncle,

relationship cannot.

You carry on. I'll be there.

Please.

Jai!

I won't take the oath without you.

I'll only go to the Governor House with you by my side.

Fine, don't open the door.

I'll wait here. Try me.

I'm waiting right here.

Are you mad at me?

Remember when we were kids, I got bit by a snake?

Dad was away as always.

Mom was working in the fields.

You were alone

but you didn't get scared.

You carried me on your shoulders to the village

straight to the doctor.

I was unconscious for 3 days.

You stayed by my side all along.

You saved my life.

I have no right to be mad at you.

Are you mad at mom?

This is supposed to be the oath ceremony

of Roshni Bharti, the new CM of Bihar.

But you can also call it Rani Bharti's show of strength.

Eminent leaders in huge numbers from across the nation have arrived

leaving Patna airport crammed for space!

The media has criticised Rani Bharti

for choosing Roshni Bharti as the CM

and there are signs of rebellion in her party too.

An unbothered Rani Bharti

is busy catering

to her guests

with local delicacies.

It won't be wrong to say

this little bird from Patna

is ready to take on the political eagles of Delhi!

What will be the eagle's next move?

Only time will tell.

A heartfelt welcome and warm greetings to all the distinguished guests

at this grand oath-taking ceremony.

A humble request to all of you.

Kindly take your seats.

The proceedings of the oath-taking ceremony will begin shortly.

It's evident you're not from Patna.

Yes. I'm from Lucknow.

I see.

- Aditi. - Aditi?

Balmukund Chaudhary's daughter?

- Yes. - I see.

And Roshni's friend too.

From Delhi University.

I see.

I've heard about you. Today we finally meet.

Is it?

Would it be any different had we met before?

Huh?

Don't mind, just kidding.

Had we met before,

you'd be my guest, not my sister's!

Yes.

I am Jaiprakash Bharti.

Jaiprakash Bharti!

You need no introduction.

Why is your neck blue?

Is it a new fashion trend?

It's not fashion.

I've gulped poison like Lord Shankar.

With the gracious permission of the Honorable Governor,

the proceedings of the oath-taking ceremony are hereby commenced.

I request Miss Roshni Bharti

to come to the dais for the oath ceremony.

I

I, Roshni Bharti, do solemnly affirm

that I will bear true faith

and allegiance to the constitution of India

and as law established.

That I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India.

- I, Rani Bharti, - Swear upon god

Swear upon god

I will bear allegiance

I will bear allegiance

to India's

To India's

Sovereignty

Sovereignty

and integrity, intact.

Keep it untouched.

Intact...

Intact.

As the chief minister of Bihar

To any person or persons

any matter which shall be brought under my consideration

or shall become known to me as the chief minister of Bihar

except as maybe required

for the due discharge of my duties as the chief minister.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Rani Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Rani Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Rani Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Rani Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Rani Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Rani Bharti.

Manik Sen and his nephew Chandan,

Balmukund Chaudhary,

Shrimant Naik, Sajjad Ahmed Mir...

And Baldev Singh from Punjab.

Som Babu, don't convey my best wishes to the new CM of Bihar.

Issue a press release

raising concern over the apparent dynastic politics.

Okay.

Murad, Rani Bharti should be criticised all over for nepotism.

#Nanga Nepotism

By choosing Roshni Bharti as her successor

Rani Bharti has upheld dynastic politics

like her husband Bheema Bharti did by choosing her.

Rani Bharti is also being criticised

because she calls herself a leader with ideals.

King's rule is over but India's guardians of democracy

think of themselves as the new monarchs.

Is the post of Bihar's CM

meant only for members of a particular family?

Won't you give me your blessings, Mishra uncle?

You've become too big, Roshni.

You don't need my blessings.

Coffee?

I'll make it.

Mishra uncle, you know,

when Abraham Lincoln became president,

he asked three of his fellow competitors to join his cabinet

who fought elections against him.

- William Seward... - Salmon Chase, Edward Bates.

I know that.

But that's history.

In the present, what does the CM of Bihar want from me?

One?

Mishra uncle, everyone knows I never aspired to

become the CM of Bihar.

Mom never wanted it either.

If that were the case, she wouldn't appoint you and Kaveri aunty as observers.

I'm not defending or criticising mom.

She did what she saw fit.

As the CM of Bihar,

now I'll do what I see fit.

I believe you'd be the best finance minister for Bihar.

Does Raniji know about this meeting?

I won't run the government as per mom's instructions, uncle.

Mom! When did you come?

What a surprise!

Bless you.

I wanted to meet you.

So, I came here.

Good that you came.

What is this, mom?

I had conducted your papa's death anniversary ritual.

It's the offering.

Mother, don't put the tilak on me.

I have to go to college.

After finishing your education,

you will return home, won't you?

No, mom.

I have applied here for work visa.

After finishing my education, I will work here.

What about us? What about all of us?

Do you know? During Roshni's swearing-in ceremony,

everybody missed you terribly.

Shall I tell you something, mom?

You shouldn't have made Roshni didi the CM.

Look at this.

Do you even know? There is a hate campaign against you and Roshni didi.

Death threats.

Boycott.

Roshni didi is being accused of incompetence and nepotism.

Why did you push her in this inferno?

Mom, you know politics is a dirty game.

Why don't you quit it?

Surya.

Politics is not your laptop.

To turn it on whenever you want.

And turn it off whenever you want.

Sometimes to keep your family safe,

you need power in your hand.

You remember

what happened with your papa, don't you?

I remember.

I remember it very well.

That's why when I see these comments,

I worry for you, brother and Roshni didi.

Hey. My little one.

Don't worry, son.

Your mother is alive.

I promise you.

I won't let any harm befall on my family.

I know...

what I am doing.

'On his way back from the Assam tour,'

'Prime Minister Joshi reached Patna unexpectedly.'

'We don't know much about his schedule.'

'But it's been said that he wants to start'

'the Lok Sabha election campaign from here.'

Bihar government started post

matriculation scholarship for poor children.

Last year, around 200,000 kids benefitted from it

but none this year. Why, Gopalji?

Madam, 80% of this fund comes from central grant.

They withheld the funds this year.

The finance secretary said off the record

you want to bad-mouth the PM

and also expect him to pay you!

Roads in Supaul and Saharsa were damaged in floods last year.

That work is still pending, Deepakji.

Why so?

Madam, we haven't received the

next instalment of RDF.

RDF?

Rural Development Fund.

The centre allocates it annually to state governments.

I see.

The centre has withheld Bihar's instalment this year.

Why?

What's this?

Last year's Bihar government accounts.

In other words,

centre's leash that controls our fate.

I don't get it.

The center releases funds

only when state governments submit

utilisation certificate of the past year.

As per this report,

the utilisation certificate we submitted

had accounting errors.

They are accusing us of misappropriation of funds

and have stopped all central grants.

Patna smart city, renovation of government hospitals,

municipal corporation's waste management...

The reports indicate all the departments are lagging.

Is it all because of misappropriation of accounts?

No.

Then why is the center refusing to pay Bihar?

You all may leave for now.

Roshni, the reason is that

the PM doesn't want the Bihar government to function properly

or for our party to do well in the upcoming assembly elections.

To be frank, Roshni,

I am worried about one thing.

The battle between the PM and Raniji

might create major hurdles for your government

and Bihar.

That's not fair, Mishra uncle.

The PM can't turn a political fight into a personal one.

He's the prime minister of the country, even the opposition.

You talk as if Pandit Nehru

or Lal Bahadur Shastri is our PM!

Friends, this is an auspicious day

for Bihar and Patna.

Prime Minister Joshi

is here to talk to us.

Mr Joshi's leadership

took the nation to great heights...

Roshni Bharti gave this speech to the governor

to read in the assembly.

- Roshni? - CM, Bihar.

Just say Rani's daughter.

- Did you speak to the governor? - He sent this document and is

- waiting for instructions. - Reject it.

There's no need to be unbiased and great.

Okay.

And the CM wants your appointment.

It's regarding central grants and funds distribution.

The PM doesn't deal with such trivial issues.

Ask her to meet the finance minister in Delhi.

Okay.

I am here to attack

not make peace.

Give it up for our celebrated prime minister

Mr Sudhakar Sriniwas Joshi.

Dearest people of Bihar,

you are the most hard working lot in the world.

You built Delhi

and made Mumbai shine.

You made Punjab flourish.

Alas,

you were left behind.

The land of Bihar is fertile

but there's no agriculture here.

You have rivers but it's not used for irrigation or power generation.

No one is as skilled as you are

but you have no industries.

There is a running joke in Delhi about Bihar.

Bihar has three crops

Rabi, Khariff

and relief.

All you get are empty promises.

What you get is just crime

and corruption. Maheshwari Commission's report is out.

It clearly states your Ex CM Rani Bharti's

criminal activities.

Rani Bharti is a merchant of death!

Tell me, do you want corruption and crime

or development?

Development!

Development!

Development!

Wow, mom. Feels like I'm going for an exam.

It's your first day in the assembly house.

This is the beginning

of a long running exam.

Mom, how did you feel

when you stepped in the assembly for the first time?

Stepped in? I was literally pushed in there.

Yeah.

When I entered the house,

I was frightened.

I was parched at the thought of working amidst so many men.

Then I thought about your

bed-ridden father

and my kids and walked in.

Yeah, I remember that speech. What a speech that was!

- What was it? - There's another saying in my village.

- May I? - Please do.

Dogs bark when the elephant walks mightily.

Very well done, Rani Bharti!

Excuse me.

Take your time.

Mom, please come with me today.

No, dear. The world

sees you as Rani Bharti's

shadow.

Now you must show them

you aren't just my daughter

but Bihar's chief minister.

Hello.

- Hello, how are you? - I'm fine.

Hello.

Respected members,

the governor.

Respected speaker,

I'd like to infom the house today,

the speech sent to me by the CM office

is a political propaganda filled with malice.

Despite a written objection

and suggestion, no changes were made in this.

Reading this aloud

goes against the dignity of a governor's post.

Hence, I won't read

this speech.

Speaker sir...

Stay calm, respected members.

Please sit down.

Please sit down.

Please sit down.

What is this, sir?

This is not done.

Please sit down.

You too sit down.

Please sit down.

Yes, madam chief minister.

It's unfortunate that the governor left without reading the speech.

He just proved he's not Bihar's guardian

but Delhi's agent.

I request you to

allow me to read his speech in his absence.

But, Roshniji,

a CM reading the governor's speech is not the tradition we follow.

Sir, I am Rani Bharti's daughter.

Our family is infamous for defying tradition

but I won't do that.

Today I shall start a new trend.

How could Governor sir have read that speech.

How can a bride take her brother-in-law's name.

That speech clearly

exposes his "brother-in-law", the prime minister.

The PM came to Patna for a few hours.

I didn't feel like wasting government's money

to discuss accounts with him in Delhi.

Meeting him here would be feasible so I asked for an appointment.

We were told the PM's schedule is very tight.

Shame!

Sir, the central government is sitting on money meant for Bihar.

Let alone special package,

they stopped funds that's rightfully ours.

All welfare schemes have come to a halt.

Yet, instead of meeting me,

the PM gathered some paid actors

took them to a hall and gave a speech.

Did he say anything about

Bihar's betterment?

No.

Did he mention new schemes or programmes?

No.

He didn't.

For 90 minutes, PM Joshi

only spoke about Rani Bharti!

All he did was comment on Rani Bharti

and the things she did or didn't do.

Why? Because PM Joshi knows

Rani Bharti is the only contender

who can throw him off his PM's chair!

Sir, I'd like to convey a message to PM Joshi through this house.

The chief minister of Bihar is not Rani

but Roshni Bharti, Mr Joshi!

Before you address the mother,

you have to face her daughter.

I am her daughter. Speak to me.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Rani Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

I had told Kaveri that

Bihar is getting a new Rani Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.

Long live Roshni Bharti.
