Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge’s Opening Remarks for INDIA Meeting on June 6, 2024, at the residence of the Congress President. I welcome all INDIA Alliance partners. We fought well, fought unitedly, fought resolutely. The mandate is decisively against Mr. Modi, against him and the substance and style of his politics. It is a huge political loss for him personally apart from being a clear moral defeat as well. However, he is determined to subvert the will of the people. The INDIA Alliance welcomes all parties which share its fundamental commitment to the values enshrined in the Preamble to our Constitution and to its many provisions for economic, social and political justice. Thank you!

After the Meeting Media Byte was given

New Delhi: Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress President and LoP Rajya Sabha, addressed the media after INDIA bloc leaders’ meeting at 10 Raja Ji Marg, New Delhi. ‘Namaskar’, I greet all the leaders of our alliance and welcome all of you. The leaders of our alliance sat together for two hours and discussed the current political situation and many suggestions came up on the current situation and the conclusion was that - we should all say this in one voice, which I will read out to you.

The constituents of the INDIA bloc thank the people of India for the overwhelming support received by our Alliance. The people’s mandate has given a befitting reply to the BJP and their politics of hate, corruption and deprivation. This is a mandate in defence of the Constitution of India and against price rise, unemployment and crony capitalism, and also to save democracy. The INDIA bloc will continue to fight against the fascist rule of the BJP led by Modi. We will take appropriate steps at the appropriate time to realise the people’s desire not to be ruled by the BJP government. This is our decision and… whatever promises we have made to the people, we will keep it up… I just want to tell this.

Thank you very much!
