Whatever Pandit Nehru wrote, whatever he did,

he did it in this country's interest.

There are hundreds of such pieces of evidence and proofs.

What was wrong if Pandit Nehru said that these would be the temples of modern India?

If these institutions had not been built,

then today we would not be competing with the world. Huge atomic centers,

he developed ISRO, he did HAL, he did BHEL. What wrong did Pandit Nehru do?

I will tell you now, brother. I will tell you now.

The Congress spokesperson, the honorable Abhay Dubey ji, was saying,

Nehru ji created new temples of development.

When was India’s first power project built?

The Shivanasamudra Power Project in Karnataka, in 1892.

At that time, Chacha Nehru was three years old.

The first city outside Europe in the world to get street lights, Which one was it?

India’s Bengaluru in 1902.

The Maharaja of Mysore had it done.

At that time, Chacha Nehru was thirteen years old.

And tell me, when was the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, established?

In 1916. Minto Eye Hospital was the world’s first eye hospital…

That was in 1913. It was built by the Maharaja of Mysore.

India’s first dam was built by Visvesvaraya ji,

whose name Rahul Gandhi ji was not able to say.

And this is from before Independence.

Hey, India got a Nobel Prize in Physics, C. V. Raman’s.

By then, dear uncle had not entered politics anywhere.

This is from before Independence.

And if the most work on drainage systems was done, then it was done by the Maharaja

of Alwar, the Maharaja of Gwalior, and the Maharaja of Travancore.

And I say this as a challenge,

the literacy of all of India around 1947 was around ten to eleven percent.

Where was the highest literacy?

In Travancore, it was forty- seven percent. That is why I

want to say that in terms of development and when was Tata Iron and Steel founded?

It was founded before Independence. What are you even trying to talk about, sir?

Air India was also formed before that. This too, Uncle brilliantly

captured it all by putting caps on his nephews’ heads... ... that whatever the big,

important people did, all of it is mine.
