PM Modi is a champion of corruption:BJP will be limited to 150 seats or less,says Rahul Gandhi

GHAZIABAD: The Congress and Samajwadi Party leaders expressed confident that the Opposition alliance would limit the BJP to 150 seats or less.

Addressing a joint press conference Rahul Gandhi attacked the Narendra Modi government for the electoral bond scam and called the Prime Minister "a champion of corruption", while SP chief Yadav predicted that the BJP-led NDA would be defeated across Uttar Pradesh, from Ghaziabad to Ghazipur.

"The electoral bonds scheme is the biggest extortion scheme in the world. India's businessmen know it very well," Rahul Gandhi said.

Gandhi also claimed there was a strong undercurrent in favour of the Opposition alliance, the INDIA bloc, and that the BJP would be limited to 150 seats in the Lok Sabha elections beginning 19 April in Uttar Pradesh and across the nation. He said this was based on ground reports that led him to revise his estimate of a month ago, that the BJP would be restricted at 180 or so.

Reiterating his stance that "this election is an election of ideology", the former Congress president added, "On the one hand, RSS and BJP are trying to destroy the Constitution and the democratic system, and on the other hand, the INDIA bloc and Congress Party are trying to defend and protect the Constitution and democracy."

Addressing the media, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav declared that the BJP-led NDA would be defeated across Uttar Pradesh, from Ghaziabad to Ghazipur.

Those who came in 2014 will leave in 2024. The people of Uttar Pradesh not only give them a good welcome, this time they will also give him a grand farewell, complete with drums and trumpets. The INDIA alliance will wipe out BJP, from Ghaziabad to Ghazipur.

In the joint press conference in Ghaziabad, among others Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, the party's national spokesperson Supriya Shrinate, senior leader Avinash Pandey and Shahid Siddiqui were present.
