Kharge Dismisses BJP’s ‘400 Paar’ Claim as ‘Bakwas’

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge recently addressed the media in Amritsar, where he dismissed the BJP’s claim of crossing 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as ‘bakwas’ or nonsense. Kharge confidently stated that the BJP will not surpass 200 seats, pointing out that their seats are declining compared to the last elections while the Congress and the I.N.D.I.A. bloc are gaining momentum.

Kharge questioned the basis of BJP’s claims, highlighting the party’s weaknesses in states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, and Karnataka. He also challenged Amit Shah’s jibe regarding his job security, asserting his commitment to serving the people through politics.

The Congress leader reiterated the party’s promises for the elections, focusing on farm debt waiver, MSP guarantee for crops, and addressing issues like unemployment. He also assured steps to tackle the youth drug addiction problem.

In response to BJP’s allegations about the party manifesto, Kharge confidently stated that it is intended to benefit the youth, farmers, laborers, and weaker sections of society, emphasizing the party’s inclusive approach.
