Mallikarjun Kharge was talking at an election rally in Nagaland.

New Delhi:

The Congress will lead an opposition coalition that may unseat the BJP within the 2024 nationwide elections, social gathering chief Mallikarjun Kharge has mentioned, asserting that the 137-year-old outfit was in talks with “every” different social gathering to grasp it.

“[Prime Minister Narendra] Modi has several times said, ‘I am the only man who can face the country. No other people can touch me.’ No democratic man says this. You are in a democracy, you should remember you are not an autocrat. You are not a dictator. You are elected by people and people will teach you a lesson,” he mentioned at an election rally in Nagaland.

“In 2024, the alliance government will come to the centre, Congress will lead. We are talking with other parties because otherwise the democracy and constitution will go,” Mr Kharge mentioned.

“Therefore, with every party now and then, we are calling, we are talking, we are sharing our views. The BJP will not get a majority. All other parties together, we will get the majority… let 100 Modis or Shah come,” he mentioned, baiting the Prime Minister and his chief strategist Home Minister Amit Shah.

“Our people have given their lives to get freedom. Congress. Not you, BJP people. Tell me has any BJP leader been hanged for freedom, or fought for freedom? Has gone to jail? Instead, a man who brought freedom, Mahatma Gandhi, they killed him. And such people are talking patriotism?” he mentioned.

“For the country’s unity, Indira Gandhi gave her life. For the country’s unity, Rajiv Gandhi gave his life. They think that they got independence only in 2014. They don’t remember 1947,” Mr Kharge mentioned.

The Congress President’s assault on the BJP comes because the social gathering gears up for a troublesome combat in opposition to the social gathering and its allies within the northeast, the place Meghalaya and Nagaland will vote on Monday. Tripura, which voted final week, noticed the Congress crew up with its long-time rival the Left.
