Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 19 : Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi exuded confidence of INDIA bloc forming the government in the Lok Sabha elections after massive crowd was witnessed in INIDIA's bloc rally in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
She posted a few lines from Ramdhani Singh Dinkar's poem 'Singhasan Khali Karo'.
Priyanka Gandhi shared a video showing a massive crowd of supporters and party workers of Congress and Samajwadi Party.
"Lekin hota bhudol, bavandar Uthte hain, janta jab kopakul ho bhukuti chadati hai. Do rah, samay ke rath ka gharghar-naad suno, singhasan khali karo ki janta aati hai (Earthquakes occur, tornadoes arise, as angry public raises its eye. Listen to the voice of time, vacate the throne, as the people arrive," Priyanka Gandhi posted on X.
"There is a massive wave of INDIA. People struggling with inflation, unemployment and the economic crisis have risen up. The results of June 4 have been decided. The people are going to elect INDIA government with huge majority," she added.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav were addressing a public meeting in Prayagraj's Phulpur constituency.
However, the two leaders were forced to cut short the public meeting as the crowd broke the barricades and reached the dais, creating a stampede-like situation. Both the leaders left the rally without addressing the crowd.
The workers of both the Congress and the Samajwadi Party went out of control and attempted to reach the stage to get near Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav. The police were struggling to control the excited crowd that went past the barricades that were put in place.
The campaign rally was organised in support of Amarnath Maurya, who is contesting on an SP ticket for the Phulpur Lok Sabha seat.
Notably, the SP is contesting this seat in alliance with Congress on a 63:17 formula. In Phulpur, the Samajwadi Party has fielded Amarnath Maurya. He will contest against the BJP's Praveen Patel.
The polling for the Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh is being held across all seven phases. Voting in the first four phases has already been completed, while the remaining phases are scheduled for May 20, May 25, and June 1. The counting of votes for all phases has been scheduled for June 4.
In the 2019 polls, the BJP mopped up the bulk of the electoral spoils in the state, winning 62 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats, while ally Apna Dal (S) won two more seats. Mayawati's BSP managed to secure 10 seats, while her then-alliance partner, Akhilesh Yadav's SP, had to settle for just 5 seats. The Congress won just a lone seat in the state.
