Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]be a very powerful message that we can send and I strongly suggest that the uh the bulldozing of every single part of the Delhi Jim Khana should be make made into a nationally televised event so that this uh this fake old decaying elite can watch as we destroy their lounge clubs, their luxury cottages, their swimming pools, the places where they had their memories of drinking and drinking and drinking and having cheese pakoras. does the cheese pakora lifestyle has to end and it is gone. I can tell you by the way I'm joined by Abhishek Tanka is a he's a member of this horrible thing called the Delhi Jim Khana club. Now Abhishek uh how long have you been a member?

[00:00:47]>> Well I've been a member for the last 17 years.

[00:01:11]>> I'm not a member. I'm a club user.

[00:01:13]>> The same thing. Same thing. No, it's it's not the same thing. How did you I I'm told that if you're a child of a member, you become a club user which gives you effectively the same. And how fair is that in India? Why Shubangu Shubangu Shukla not a member?

[00:01:30]>> Why is Nir Chopra not a member? Why was Lu Prasad never a member?

[00:01:35]>> If if they were to apply, >> no, if they were to apply, no, they would not to apply.

[00:01:52]>> What contract? What what contract?

[00:01:54]Government of India. No, what is it fair? You you have 27 acres for 1,000 rupees to have cheese pakoras.

[00:02:00]>> I I would let the courts decide the fairness of the charge.

[00:02:03]>> I'm talking logic. The courts also listen to logic. Have you not seen my exposure of Sharma which the Supreme Court is listening to? If they if they were to increase the the the the the lease rate, we would of course have to comply if a failing wish should >> No, that's not happening. It's over.

[00:02:17]It's it's closing down. Look, >> no, it's it's that's not what the court said to do. That's not what the the highest law officer of the government didn't say that. He said that we will pursue the law.

[00:03:21]>> No. The problem problem with you Arnab is that you have stopped listening at all except your own voice. You have to listen. Mr. Modi is only trying to distract from the issues of governance of this country. He wants to bring in extraneous factors like Jim Khana. Where does Jim Khana come into the agenda and what's your problem with Jim Khana?

[00:03:42]Because you are not a member. You probably never they never entertained you. So you are going screaming and shouting about bulldozers. It's it's a it's a legacy. It's heritage.

[00:06:04]>> No. For what? Joy. Oh, they're users of the club like you. So, you have also elevated yourself to the level of the great grandchildren of decaying Maharajas. One minute, Mr. Tanka. Mr. Tanka, one minute. One minute. The Maharaja system is over in our country and and you the problem is it's being replaced by people like you who believe that because of hereditary privilege, you will be a member of a club subsidized by the people of India. Why did you people pay 1,000 rupees as rent?

[00:06:37]>> Well, that is not a decision.

[00:06:39]>> It is it is a very important point.

[00:06:41]>> No, it is not.

[00:06:43]>> It is a very important point.

[00:06:44]>> The land and development office wants to wants to increase the rent. The club will see if it can pay.

[00:06:51]>> No, it's not that important being discussed.

[00:06:55]>> Why do you think India is celebrating today about this?

[00:06:57]>> You also mentioned here you also you also one second. Allow me to finish please. Allow me to finish please. You also mentioned here about 24 Akbar road.

[00:07:05]I have nothing to do with the Congress party. In fact, I worked for the BJP and I've worked here. I worked for the BJP between 2011 and 2014. So, I don't think we want to get caught up in in the political crossfire.

[00:07:16]>> There is no political crossfire. This is a club built in a high security zone next to the prime minister's house next to the prime minister's house. And and one minute one minute you guys will have to deal with it. See first of all first of all I want to tell you one thing. I want to tell you one thing. See Mr. Tanka isn't Mr. Tanka. See listen listen to me.

[00:07:36]>> See first of all you have to reconcile yourself to the fact that all of this is coming to an end.

[00:07:44]Okay. And good for you if you work for the BJP and you lose it which proves that even people who work for the BJP are not being spared.

[00:07:55]No, no. If if it if it if it comes to an end through a through a fair legal process, so we it will happen. But we are not here to discuss that right now.

[00:08:04]You seem to be obviously celebrating >> about that. Mr. Modi has not said a word about this. But he is concerned about Jim Khana. What has Jim Khana got to do with the running of this country? It's a club. There are lots and all over Europe.

[00:08:18]>> Come to greater Nida. Buy land and have a club here.

[00:08:21]>> People are proud of their come to greater Nida. Go near J airport, buy land and start a club. Target is golf.

[00:08:27]>> You can't sit on government land.

[00:08:30]>> You're sitting on government land.

[00:08:32]>> You're squatting. You're squatters. You guys are squatters on government land.

[00:08:38]>> You're squatters on government land.

[00:08:40]>> Nobody's a squatter.

[00:08:41]>> SG didn't say that in court today.

[00:08:42]>> Every people who have got 10 acres of prime land in greater Nida, they have also got as a subsidized raised. Okay.

[00:08:49]>> No, nobody's got subsidized raised. You who do you know who's got subsidized?

[00:08:53]Everybody in this country, Everybody in this country has got some subsidy on their >> No, no, no, no. You can't. No, nobody's got subsidies. No, no, you can't. You can't make this is your The old system is gone. Hello. Hello. Your old system is gone.

[00:09:08]>> It doesn't work like that anymore. You you people and your system of privilege is over.

[00:09:13]>> The one who is sitting in 7 RCR, let's wait and watch who goes first.

[00:09:17]>> What are you getting out of it? Why are you more loyal than the king? sitting there goes first because he is not concerned about the issues of this country. He is not. My only grouse is not I don't care about Jim Kana. I don't even go there. I'm not a member. But the fact that he's using all these tactics to so distract attention from the real issues their prices are rising. We are is supporting Israel and got us into a war and we are suffering because of this. So the point is let's not discuss all that. Let us discuss Jim Khana.

[00:09:51]Okay.

[00:09:51]>> Yeah.

[00:09:52]>> Jim Khana is very important to this nation. Without that the entire country will collapse. What has Jim Kana done to you here? You're talking about bulldozer. You're talking about fake.

[00:10:02]You're talking about fraud. What are you talking about
