[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=3) What was that all about? Sir, we are talking about the struggles of the people, Sir. Okay? Mahendran spoke, right?

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=10) So when some people planned to use Mahendran a bit, what can we do, Sir?

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=15) But for you, unfortunately, you had a bit of… there… No problem, Sir. No, Sir, no.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=19) The trouble is because, actually speaking, even Vijay, who came from the film industry, has now entered politics.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=24) His position now in Chennai… when you commented on the power cut like this, it being sarcastic became a bit of an issue, and it's being heavily trolled.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=29) The thing is, Sir, 75 years, Sir. For 75 years, only two have ruled Tamil Nadu. If we think about it correctly, it's two parties, Sir. He is very new.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=41) It has been only about 35 days since he came, Sir. We let go of the questions we should have asked those who ruled for 75 years, How can you ask a 35- day- old CM,' Why did the power go out?

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=51) Why did the power go out?' How can he answer, sir?- Yes, correct.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=54) Right? For a couple to get married and have a baby boy or a baby girl, it takes nine months.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=57) Do they have kids the day after marriage?

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=59) Do we get the result?- Yes, correct. This is my problem, sir. For me, we must ask questions, sir. This country is for the people. People have humanity, they have rights. They have the right to question. That is this country.

[1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=75) They are saying we shouldn't question.- Yes.- That is my problem.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=78) But you became a bit of a political target there. Sir, what about me, sir?

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/FskcW0HUTYmP/en/chennai-power-cuts-and-vijay-a-political-debate?t=81) Vijay came from movies, and if I speak for him, it's political.- That's it.- Yeah.
