Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday exuded confidence in forming the government of the INDIA bloc at the Centre after the Lok Sabha elections results will be declared on June 4 and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party will not cross 140 seats.
“INDIA alliance will form the government The truth is that the one who is sitting facing the sea has turned his back on the public. The people are also against them. What does ‘400 paar’ mean? They (BJP) will not go beyond 140,” Akhilesh Yadav told ANI on Saturday.
The leader of the Samajwadi Party traveled from the Lucknow airport to Delhi on Saturday to attend the INDIA bloc leaders’ meeting.
A number of more leaders of the INDIA bloc arrived in New Delhi to take part in the alliance’s conference about the Lok Sabha elections.
Among the leaders who arrived today were Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren, AAP MP Raghav Chadha, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Desai.
Tejashwi said, “Today people are voting to teach a lesson to those who have increased inflation, poverty, and unemployment. We will bring 300 plus (seats). Everyone knows about exit polls under which everything is shown in a one-sided manner. It won’t be effective this time. There will be surprising results in Bihar. There will be so many seats that BJP will not be able to form a government at the Centre.”
AAP MP Raghav Chadha said, “A meeting of top leaders of the INDIA bloc has been called at the residence of Mallikarjun Kharge today. AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal and all of us from the party will take part in that meeting.”
Jharkhand CM and Champai Soren also arrived in Delhi and said that the INDIA bloc will get a good number of seats.
“Our alliance will have discussions related to the elections. INDIA Alliance will get a good number of seats. All of that (NDA 400 paar slogan) is wrong,” he said.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and party candidate from the South Central seat, Anil Desai said that this time the ground reality is different and people are very angry with the BJP.
