 Hello and welcome to the Daily Roundup, I am Sumedha, take a look at our top stories of the day. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi had his first press conference in the last five years in New Delhi. The last phase of the general election is taking place day after tomorrow and we will be focusing on the violence in Bengal. Dalit houses were bulldozed after Narendra Modi's Varanasi visit. We will be taking a look at our ground report as well. In our international segment, we will be looking at Trump administration's hostile moves towards a legitimate government in Venezuela. Our first story of the day is the press conference that Narendra Modi had in the BJP's New Delhi office today. He was accompanied by Amit Shah along his side and interestingly, the Prime Minister did not choose to answer any of the questions himself. All the questions were taken up by Amit Shah and also there were a lot of other media houses that were not given an invitation to this press conference. And this is the first time that the Prime Minister in his five year long term held a press conference. And he had been criticized across spectrum for not speaking to the media and to reach out to the people. And Amit Shah while addressing the press conference stated that the BJP and Narendra Modi have made any attempt that they could possibly make to reach out to the people and the Prime Minister had travelled the length and the breadth of the country to be able to connect with the people. We'd be following the story and the kind of reactions that come in to Narendra Modi's first ever press conference on the daily roundup in the following days as well. But currently, we'd be focusing on the last phase of election which is supposed to take place day after tomorrow. And the significance of this press conference coming in just a day before the final polls come to a conclusion. Day after is the last phase of the Indian election and the stakes are extremely high with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself in the fray. As about six Karaw people are eligible to cast their votes in 59 constituencies which are spread across seven states and one union territory. The BJP is aiming to defend 30 seats out of the 59 that it had won in 2014 while in Bengal, Trinamol Congress is seeking to increase its tally from nine seats followed by the Shurmani Akali Dal and the Amadmi Party who are tying four and three seats each currently which are held by the Congress. At least four seats are held by the All India Trinamol Congress in West Bengal and are in high stakes race where the party is struggling to retain its foothold. Seats like Basilharth, Diamond Harbor, Jadavpur and Jainanga. The state has witnessed a series of poll violence since the very first phase. The campaigning was also cut short a day in advance in West Bengal on the orders of the election commission following the clashes between BJP supporters and Calcutta University students which also led to the serious damages done to the bust of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. On February 10th as well sitting TMC MLA from Kishan Ganj Satyajit Viswas was also shot dead from point blank range in West Bengal's Nadia district. The TMC held BJP responsible for this murder while the BJP rubbished it by saying that Viswas was probably killed due to the infighting between the TMC. Earlier on March 28, a BJP leader's brother was allegedly murdered in Malda district as well. News clicks Bhasha Singh had traveled to West Bengal to understand the sentiment on the ground and she spoke to us exclusively about what she feels. Take a look at this conversation. Hinsa's supporters are standing up. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's top attack and the people who are talking in the opposite direction. Later on Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke in the other direction. But it took a whole day to talk about it. So you will see that Bengal Urf Hinsa, Bengal Urf violence, Bengal Urf means if you go to put that, then what will happen? A different kind of fear has been created and Bhashpa has achieved a lot in this. The message he wanted to give from the top to the bottom, through his money and goondas, is that all the losses that are happening to him, from the UP and from the other places, they all have to be paid. And Mamta has to be surrounded from all sides. And I think for Mamta too, there is a situation that they have fallen from all sides so that they can call the Bengali pride or they can call it the last two days. But the current situation seems so clear. And the Bengali people have to believe that Bhashpa has surrounded Bengal from all sides and he wants to show that in a time, he was the son of Bihar. That there is nothing in Bihar. Bihar has a boom, Bihar has a cut. In the same way, in Pashtim Bengal, he has made the whole view that there is violence here. There is nothing other than violence and that is why politics can be done. So this whole violence, there is a way to do it. There is a trap, a trap has been set up. And Bhashpa, and not only Bhashpa, TMC, they also want to see his competition directly from BJP. And they see the fight from BJP. So are these two people not doing the whole business of Bengal? They are trying to How are they taking this whole thing? Look, I have to believe this very clearly. And at least as much as I have spent time in Bengal, especially in Kolkata, that Bhangal has planned to make the second Gujarat Bhashpa. It is a sign and it is associated with all the organizations. And for this, he has done a lot of Sunuyoji Dung. He has worked at the booth level. Panna Pramukh is there, who is in the gym. And you will see all the slogans, that quietly, quietly. All these slogans, the slogans are very subtle. That you keep saying TMC outside, because you will see that you are scared of TMC. And by doing this, the left and secular forces, you completely get them out of the whole industry. Many of them cannot talk. Because now at this time, and it is quite true that at this time, the situation in Bengal, Mamta Banerjee is fighting in it. And Bhashpa has also been hit. And especially Modi and Amish Shah's whole game plan, is that if this one woman is stood up and she is dropped, then the whole of Bengal will be captured. So this is a very Sunuyoji conspiracy, to make Bengal the second Gujarat. The religious emotions, the way they are getting angry, the way Mamta is fighting against Mamta, that they are half Muslims. People like that, they meet you on camera. That they don't know what they are doing. Like being a Muslim is a sin. Being an Christian is a sin. And the claims related to Vampanth and Vampanth, by threatening them directly, and in making Prasangik, the whole of Bengal's politics is showing success. At this time, Dhruvi Karan is very strong and very dangerous. For Bengal, for the liberal section of Bengal, for the lands of the Andhulans, there is no option for them. Either you are with Modi, or you are with Mamta. These views are dangerous for the politics of Bengal. And this is the most beneficial for the nation. It is happening with Bhashpa and Sangh. Like we mentioned, a key constituency for the polls, which are to take place day after tomorrow is Banaras. Narendra Modi's seat. The constituency has been in the spotlight for multiple reasons. For his rally earlier in April, it was reported that over 1.4 lakh litres of water was used to wash the roads. His rally was also made into a huge spectacle as well. We spoke to the voters on the ground, where Dalit families told us how their houses were bulldozed to pave the way for Modi and his supporters. Take a look at our exclusive ground report from Varanasi. What is the most difficult part of Modi's life? When we come here, we run away from our homes. We live in Prasad. What is the most difficult part of Modi's life? We don't have a house here. We don't have a house for the people. We don't have water. Where do you get water from? We have to get it far away. We run away from our homes. When Modi comes, we run away from our homes. We stay in our homes, in our homes. We run away from our homes, in our homes. We run away from our homes, in our homes. We stay in our homes, in our homes. Moving on to our international story, Trump administration's hostile moves against the legitimate government in Venezuela continue. Yesterday, in a brazen violation of the established international law, police entered the Venezuelan embassy and arrested four members of the embassy protection collected. The members of the collective were guarding the embassy for the last 37 days from the expected intrusion by the person's loyal to Juan Guaido, the opposition leader in Venezuela. Juan Guaido has been recognized as the legitimate president of Venezuela by Trump's administration in January this year in a move to unsettle the legal government of Nicolás Maduro. Police action in an attempt to help Guaido appointed Carlos Vecchio to take control of the embassy. Condemning the arrest of the activists, Venezuelan foreign minister George Arrasa tweeted and I quote, Today our diplomatic property in Washington was taken and invaded by a police operation without precedence. They disrespected their obligations of the Vienna Convention and violated the human rights of the activists that have protected our embassy with our authorization. The move has been widely criticized by social governments and organizations worldwide. That's all that we have for you today on this episode of The Daily Roundup.
