Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Amid the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, the Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav held a joint press conference of the I.N.D.I.A bloc in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow today (May 15).
Kharge said that I.N.D.I.A bloc will form the government in India on June 4 (Tuesday). He asserted that the opposition is in a strong position after four phases of Lok Sabha polls and that the people of the country are prepared to bid farewell to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mallikarjun Kharge said, "In four phases of elections that have been completed, I.N.D.I.A bloc is in a strong position and people have decided to let go of PM Modi. On June 4, the INDIA alliance will form the government. This election is an important one to save the democracy and the constitution."
"INDIA alliance is in a strong position after four phases of polls, will form new govt on June 4," Kharge added while addressing a presser in Lucknow.
Kharge added, "We all should work together to protect the future, democracy, and the constitution of the country otherwise we will become slaves again. If there won't be a democracy but autocracy and dictatorship, how will you elect someone with your ideology? Wherever any big leader of the BJP is contesting, opposition party leaders are being stopped from filing nominations. I have seen in Hyderabad that one woman candidate of BJP was checking women's identities by removing the burqa. Is this how free and fair elections are conducted.?"
