Mallikarjun Kharge
Kalaburagi (Karnataka): Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge expressed surprise that when BJP is losing everywhere, how can Prime Minister Narendra Modi give the slogan of winning more than 400 seats. He said that the opposition alliance ‘India’ has every possibility of getting majority. Mallikarjun Kharge was talking to media persons in Kalaburagi. He said that the public has given good support to the opposition alliance ‘India’. The Congress President said that this election is between the public and Prime Minister Modi, because people are now fed up, especially with rising inflation and unemployment.
The alliance has a good chance
He said that a big attack is being made on democracy and the Indian Constitution. Kharge said that the BJP is running the government by misusing the autonomous bodies, due to which the public is very angry with it and the opposition alliance is supporting ‘India’, so the alliance has a good chance. He said, “There is every possibility of the ‘India’ alliance getting a majority. The alliance has full capability to stop the BJP from coming to power.” Asking the public to wait for the results on June 4, he said that the next step will be decided after the results are out. On being asked how many seats the alliance will get, Kharge said that he cannot tell the exact number. He said, “I did not count in this way, because such calculations are very rare in politics.”
BJP is losing in all the states
According to Kharge, the BJP is losing in all the states. The Congress president wanted to know, “How does the Prime Minister know that (the BJP) is getting more than 400 seats, while it is losing everywhere? For example, in Karnataka, we got one seat (in 2019). You tell us whether we will get more than one seat or not. Prahlad Joshi has said that the Congress will win four seats. Is this an increase in seats or a decrease?” He said that the ruling Congress in Telangana had got two seats in 2019. Congress’s seats will increase here. Kharge said, “Our ally party Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is in power. We will get more seats in Kerala.
The alliance will get more than 50 percent seats in Maharashtra
Kharge further said, “In Maharashtra, our alliance will get more than 50 percent seats. I am unable to understand how they (BJP) are claiming to win more seats despite losing everywhere.” He expressed surprise, “In Rajasthan we were zero. This time we are getting seven to eight seats. Our seats will increase in Madhya Pradesh. We are on the way to a lead in Chhattisgarh. Wherever they (BJP) used to win 100 percent seats, has their number decreased? I don’t know on what basis they are saying that it will cross 400.” Kharge said, “There are enough indications that the opposition alliance ‘India’ is getting more seats.” (Language)
