Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today claimed that the ‘trends are extremely encouraging’ for the opposition INDIA alliance across the country after the fifth phase of polling for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He said the BJP will ‘drop a long way below the majority mark’.
Shashi Tharoor said, we are not going to mention the numbers of seats to be won by the India Alliance. But I would say that the trend we are seeing is extremely encouraging for the India alliance. Tharoor further said, for India alliance this is not in one region of the country but everywhere. We are seeing noticeable enthusiasm for our candidates and a noticeable lack of enthusiasm for the BJP. In many cases, in BJP strongholds, there has been a significant decline in voting.
Congress MP also exuded confidence that there would be a change of government at the Center on the day of counting of votes on June 4. He said that currently BJP has a majority of 303 in the Lok Sabha. But it is manifestly clear that they are going to drop a long way below the majority mark. ‘Almost certainly, it will become clear that they are dropping to a point where even their existing alliance will not be enough to help them to get to majority, he added
The 2024 Lok Sabha elections are being held in seven phases, in a six-week marathon running from April 19 to June 1. The counting and results will be announced on June 4.
