The Congress party held a press conference in New Delhi where they discussed the outcome of the Lok Sabha polls. According to the party, the results were a clear indication of the public's disapproval of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his policies. Congress President Rahul Gandhi, along with Mallikarjun Kharge and Sonia Gandhi, announced that they would be consulting with their allies in the INDIA bloc to decide their next steps.
The Congress leader stated that the alliance partners would be meeting the following day to discuss their plans for government formation. When asked if they would approach old allies like JD and TDP, who are now part of the NDA, Rahul Gandhi replied that they would first seek the opinion of their allies before making any decisions.
The Lok Sabha election results showed that while the BJP was set to become the single-largest party, it would fall short of the required number of seats. On the other hand, the INDIA bloc, in which the Congress is a major player, had put up a strong fight with the party set to win 99 seats - almost double of their 2019 tally.
Kharge, when questioned about the possibility of the INDIA bloc forming the government, stated that it was too early to say anything without discussing with their alliance partners. He also added that revealing their strategies at this point would only make Prime Minister Modi more alert.
The Congress leader also claimed that the election results were a victory for democracy and the people, who have sent a strong message against PM Modi. He stated that this mandate was against the Prime Minister and his policies, and it was a political and moral defeat for him.
The Congress president also acknowledged that the elections were held in a hostile environment, with the government allegedly creating obstacles at every step. He also mentioned that the people saw through the lies spread by PM Modi about the Congress' manifesto and were convinced that giving him another chance would mean an attack on the Constitution.
Rahul Gandhi stressed that in the coming days, they must continue to fight for the people's rights, the protection of the Constitution, and the progress of the country. He also urged for smooth functioning of the Parliament, with the issues of the opposition being given priority.
He also thanked all their alliance partners, as well as their party workers and leaders, for their hard work and contribution towards the election results. Rahul Gandhi stated that this election was a fight to save the Constitution and the people of India have taken the first and biggest step towards it. He also added that the poor and marginalized sections of society have stood up for this cause.
The Congress leader further mentioned that the party, along with its allies, has given India a new vision - a pro-poor vision. He also emphasized that this election has shown that the people do not want PM Modi and Amit Shah to run the country, and they do not approve of their actions for the past 10 years.
Rahul Gandhi expressed his pride in the people of India for resisting the attack on the Constitution. He also assured that they will fulfill their promises, such as conducting a caste census and providing financial support to women under the "Mahalakshmi" scheme.
Drawing a parallel between the BJP's decrease in seats and the fall of Adani stocks, he stated that there is a direct correlation between PM Modi and Adani. He also added that the people of the country have spoken against corruption.
The Congress leader also expressed his respect for their alliance partners in the INDIA bloc and stated that they fought as one wherever the alliance was formed. He also thanked the voters of Uttar Pradesh for their support and for protecting the Constitution.
When questioned about his decision to keep the Wayanad or Rae Bareli seat, Rahul Gandhi replied that he had not made a decision yet. He also mentioned that the Congress candidate, KL Sharma, had been working in the Amethi area for the past 40 years, and his victory was certain.
Overall, the Congress party accepted the mandate of the 18th Lok Sabha elections and stated that it was a victory for the people and democracy. They also affirmed their dedication to continue fighting for the rights of the people and the progress of the country.
