“It may be difficult for us to form the government, but all secular forces should come together to keep Narendra Modi away from power... I suggest that regional parties should elect Mamata Banerjee, who is secualr, competent and honest beyound doubt, as their leader,” the Congress leader said.
“Congress party will never hesitate to form a secular government,” he added.
Refusing to believe in exit polls which have predicted poor show for Congress, Alvi said, “the truth will come out tomorrow.”
On who should take the responsibility if his party performs badly, he said, “Whether the Congress conquers the electoral battle or loses it, we all shall be responsible for the credit or discredit. It will be injustice for anyone to only blame the leadership of Congress.”
