"Congress will win more than 70 seats": Udai Bhan ahead of Haryana assembly polls
Sep 15, 2024
New Delhi [India], September 15 : Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan exuded confidence that the party will get more than 70 seats in the upcoming assembly polls.
Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Udai Bhan said, "The Congress party is getting huge public support wherever we go there is a huge crowd. In 2005, the Congress party got 67 seats and now we are getting more support than that, we hope that Congress will win more than 70 seats and form the government."
This statement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attack on Congress in his poll rallies in Doda and Kurukshetra.
In his rally at Kurukshetra in poll-bound Haryana, PM Modi referred to the incident in Karnataka where police briefly kept the Ganesha idol in the van meant for protestors during a protest.
"Appeasement is the biggest aim of the Congress. Today the condition is such that in Congress rule in Karnataka, Ganpatiji is being kept behind bars. The whole country is celebrating Ganeshotsav and Congress is putting hurdles," he said.
Attacking the Congress, PM Modi said its "royal family" wants to do away with the reservation for Dalits and other weaker sections.
"This (Gandhi) family has always insulted OBCs, Dalits and tribals. When Nehru ji was the Prime Minister, he opposed reservation. He wrote a letter to the CMs of the states, proof of which is available. Not only this, Nehru ji had also said that if people with reservations get jobs, the quality of government services will deteriorate. When Indira Gandhi came, she also put a stay on the OBC reservation... Rajiv Gandhi also opposed reservation. In an interview, he even called those who got reservation as 'Buddhu'," PM Modi alleged.
Haryana will go to the polls on October 5 and votes will be counted on October 8.
