‘Festival of democracy’

BJP chief JP Nadda on Saturday said the people have voted for a capable, powerful, developed and self-reliant India and to put aside appeasement, nepotism and corruption.

Nadda exuded confidence that his party will win more than 370 Lok Sabha seats and the NDA more than 400.

In a statement, Nadda thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making this “festival of democracy” a success for the BJP.

“In this election campaign, Prime Minister Modi addressed more than 206 election rallies, did about 23 roadshows, gave about 82 interviews and made tireless efforts to convey the election issues to the people of the country. His efforts are definitely yielding results,” the BJP chief said.

Meanwhile, the leaders of several INDI alliance parties met on Saturday to take stock of the Opposition’s preparations leading up to the June 4 counting of votes polled in the Lok Sabha elections.

They claimed they will get more than 295 seats – enough to form the next government.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge asserted the INDI alliance has arrived at the figure after feedback from people.

“The INDI alliance will get more than 295 seats. We have arrived at this figure after speaking with all our leaders,” Kharge told reporters. “This is a survey of people. People have given this information to our leaders. The government surveys are there and their media friends also inflate figures and put it out. Therefore, we want to tell you about the reality.”

Targeting the BJP, Kharge said, “They are trying to give a narrative through government exit polls and we want to tell the people the truth.”

Meanwhile, the INDI alliance parties also announced they will participate in the exit poll debates on TV this evening after the
grouping’s top leaders met and deliberated on the issue.

The development came a day after the Congress said it has decided not to participate in any Lok Sabha exit poll debates on television channels. The party does not want to indulge in speculation and slugfest for TRP, it had said.

“After considering factors for and against participating in the exit polls, it has been decided by consensus that all the INDIA (bloc) parties will participate in the exit poll debates on television this evening,” Congress’ media and publicity department head Pawan Khera said in a post on X.
