"Will win with more than 5 lakh votes": Congress leader Udit Raj
May 25, 2024
New Delhi [India], May 25 : As the sixth and penultimate phase of polling for the Lok Sabha elections is underway, Congress candidate from North West Delhi Lok Sabha seat Udit Raj expressed confidence in winning the polls with more than five lakh votes.
"Everyone knows that AAP-Congress are in alliance. I have been campaigning for 1.5 months. I can tell you that I will win with more than 5 lakh votes. Unlike in 2014 and 2109, this time the result in Delhi will reverse. AAP-Congress are going to win all 7 seats this time," the Congress leader said.
Udit Raj is pitted against BJP's Yogendra Chandolia from North West Delhi Lok Sabha seat.
Meanwhile, Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi on Saturday cast her vote in the sixth phase of the general elections and alleged that the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi VK Saxena, held a meeting with Delhi Police to slow down the voting process in areas that are strongholds of the INDIA bloc.
"We have received official information that last evening, LG had called a meeting of Delhi Police officials and instructions were given to Delhi Police that in all the areas which are strongholds of the INDIA alliance, voting should be slowed down in those areas. If this happens then it will be a violation of free and fair elections. So we hope that the Election Commission will take cognizance of this," Atishi alleged.
Atishi cast her vote in New Delhi's Kalkaji area. The New Delhi constituency is seeing a fight between AAP's Somnath Bharti and BJP's Bansuri Swaraj.
The Congress and AAP are contesting the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi in a seat-sharing arrangement in which AAP is contesting four seats whereas the Congress party is contesting three seats.
The seven parliamentary constituencies in Delhi are Chandni Chowk, East Delhi, New Delhi, North East Delhi, North West Delhi, South Delhi, and West Delhi.
The sixth phase of Lok Sabha polls includes eight seats in Bihar, all 10 seats in Haryana, one seat in Jammu and Kashmir, four in Jharkhand, all seven seats in Delhi, six in Odisha, 14 in Uttar Pradesh, and eight in West Bengal. A total of 889 candidates are in the fray.
