00:00 There was a saying, "Jab tak rehega samosa mein aloo, tab tak rehega Bihar mein laloo."

00:06 Hala ki that scenario changed long time ago.

00:09 Likewise in the city of Mathura, which is in the Hindi heartland of Uttar Pradesh, people

00:14 are sensing a change.

00:17 Why I say so?

00:18 Because this is an otherwise very busy market if you take a look at it.

00:22 People going about their daily affairs, planning to buy the daily commodities.

00:28 And here we meet two gentlemen who are selling potatoes and onions and they have a feeling

00:36 despite having supported the two-time MP Hema Malini.

00:41 Ab yaha aisa lag raha hai jaisa mujhe bataya ino ne abhi ki badlav ki hawa aayegi.

00:47 Agar aari hai toh kyu aur agar nahi aati hai toh kyu nahi aani chahiye.

00:51 Chacha apne naam ke saath kumar batayi apna vichar.

00:53 Mera naam hai Muhammad Ayub.

00:55 Aur aisa hona chahiye, badlav aana chahiye.

00:58 Aur kitne zaro se nahi aaya hai toh hawa aana chahiye.

01:03 Kyunki mehngai zyada hai.

01:05 Garib aadmi ka rutgaar hai nahi bilkul.

01:08 Chacha aapka naam aur batayein kya lag raha hai is bar maho?

01:13 Mera naam ki, yaha ka maho zyada payso ban jaha hai.

01:17 Congress ka.

01:18 Congress nikal rahi hai yaha se.

01:20 Congress nikal rahi hai yaha se.

01:21 Aisa kyun lagta hai ki jab 10 saal yaha par BJP ki sarkar rahi, Mathura mein pehle bhi aaya hu,

01:26 sarke chodi hui hai, lekin aapko lagta hai kehne kehne gareebi aur beruzgaari aur mehgaai

01:31 ek karan ban raha hai?

01:32 Hum gareebi se matlab kya ban raha hai matlab ki, humko matlab hai ruzgaar se.

01:36 Humko matlab hai aana se, humko rasam tak bhi khatam hua.

01:39 Humari jo umar ke talabat, paise milte hai, humko bhi khatam hua.

01:42 Sari, har baat humari khatam kar di.

01:45 Koi humari ne subda aise nahi di, kya nahi mazdoori hum kar sake.

01:48 Aap bade logon ka, akar dhanda hoga, toh mazdoori hum bhi karenge.

01:52 Mazdoori hum karne ko nahi mil raha hai.

01:54 Peth bharne ko nahi mil raha hai.

01:56 Peth bharne ko nahi mil raha hai.

01:59 This is a constant refrain that many of the daily sellers of these vegetables have said.

02:05 We have one more gentleman here, buying some aloo-pyaz.

02:10 Har din lete hain, mehgaai padti bhi ne zaraar rahi hai.

02:14 Bahut log toh yeh keh rahe hain ki mehgaai hai toh kya bhi chhelnege, lekin desh toh shrakshit hai.

02:17 Mehgaai toh hai hi hai, aur kya hai toh.

02:20 Mehgaai toh hai hi hai, aur kya kare jaaye.

02:23 Toh mehgaai agar hai, hum log kis tarah se kap kar sakte hai?

02:28 Koi aamdani bade, usse lidhaag toh hoga.

02:33 Aamdani bade, this is one thing that many of them have mentioned.

02:39 That the cost and the inflation that has been sent, that has gone skyrocketed,

02:52 has basically changed the balance of the whole equilibrium of the daily lives here.

03:00 For an average middle class, the constant refrain once again happens to be

03:06 the fact that there is a lot of inflation and mehgaai pad gayi hai, aur usko kyaan meh rakhte hui.

03:12 They are looking for a change.

03:14 But, having said that, right behind me is the iconic temple and mosque,

03:20 Shahi Idga and the Krishna Janmabhoomi Mandir.

03:26 And we have seen it in the past also, how Kashi-Vishnath corridor,

03:30 how Ayodhya became a very emotive issue.

03:33 This time around, the BJP government, which is planning to come back for the third time,

03:39 they are saying that the double-engine government would make sure that

03:42 now it's turn for Mathura and a new corridor is built for the temple complex.

03:47 What happens to the Idga and whether they stay together remains to be seen.

03:54 But as of now, for the general people of Mathura, life goes on.
