In the video Kar can be heard saying that if you want to win in war you cannot consider things like justice and democracy. She then called upon her followers to use whatever means necessary to win the war, while referring to the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.
Kar also assuaged her workers by saying that they have nothing to fear as she and her fellow leaders are firmly behind them.
Kar also added that she won’t be paying any heed to the Central forces and would be instructing her female workers to assault them using broom sticks and chase them away from the area.
