BJP is sinking ship, not cross 200 seats: Alka Lamba

STAFF REPORTER: Mahila Congress National President, Alka Lamba, denied the reports of wave of BJP blowing in the nation. There is no significant BJP wave felt in the country during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the party can only secure 180 to 200 seats, Alka Lamba said to media on Friday in Raipur. While addressing media at the state Congress office in the capital during her visit, emphasized that the BJP's claim of winning 400 seats will be proved as fake claim, when the results will be announced. She asserted that there is no BJP wave across the country and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of aggravatng issues like inflation and unemployment. Lamba expressed her intention to visit several Lok Sabha seats in Chhattisgarh during her threeday stay there, having already visited 22 states.

She criticized the BJP government's ten-year tenure, labelling it as unjust and dictatorial, contrasting the closedroom manifesto approach of the BJP with the Congress's manifesto, which she claimed emerged from extensive interactions during Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra. Lamba highlighted Rajasthan as a state where the BJP is facing significant setbacks and underscored the Congress's campaign based on promises like the 5 Nyays and 25 guarantees. She also accused the Prime Minister of avoiding discussion on critical issues and misleading the public. Lamba expressed confidence in the INDI alliance's ability to limit the BJP to 180 to 200 seats, alleging that the BJP and RSS lack the courage to engage in fair elections. On issues like the farmers' protest and unemployment, she emphasized the ongoing struggles faced by farmers and the record-breaking unemployment figures.
