Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 1 : Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav left for Delhi on Saturday from Lucknow airport to attend the meeting of the INDIA alliance leaders.
Several other INDIA bloc leaders arrived in New Delhi to participate in the alliance's meeting regarding the Lok Sabha elections.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, AAP MP Raghav Chadha, Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren, and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Desai were among the leaders who arrived here today.
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.
"There has been a big difference in the areas where NDA was strong in 2019. The ground situation is somewhat different. The public was very angry with the stance taken by the ruling party without paying attention to inflation and unemployment," Desai said.
Earlier today, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, in a post on X said that in today's INDIA bloc meeting, his party will be represented by TR Baalu.
"June 4th will mark the beginning of a new dawn for India. In today's meeting of INDIA bloc leaders, DMK will be represented by our party Treasurer and leader of DMK's Parliamentary Party, Thiru. T.R. Baalu. May the fascist BJP fall! May INDIA triumph!" MK Stalin said.
