The INDIA bloc will take appropriate steps at the appropriate time to realise the desire of Indian citizens not to be ruled by a Bharatiya Janata Party-led government, said Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday.
This came a day after the Lok Sabha election results were declared, with the National Democratic Alliance securing the majority by an unexpectedly narrow margin.
The BJP won 240 Lok Sabha seats, a significant fall from its tally of 303 seats in 2019. The final tally of the party-led National Democratic Alliance was 292. The Congress won 99 seats, significantly improving its 2019 tally of 52 seats. The INDIA bloc collectively won 232 seats.
Speaking to media persons after a meeting of the Opposition alliance on Wednesday, Kharge thanked the voters for their “overwhelming support for the INDIA bloc”.
“The people’s mandate has given a befitting reply to the BJP and their politics of hate, corruption and deprivation,” said the Congress chief. “This is a mandate in defence of the Constitution of India and against price rise, unemployment and crony capitalism, and also to save democracy.”
Kharge said the INDIA bloc will continue to fight against the “fascist rule” of the BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
