“It is clear this mandate is against Modi ji. This is his moral and political defeat,” said Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday, June 4, said the Lok Sabha election results 2024 are a clear mandate against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing them as his “moral and political defeat”. “This election results are ‘janta ka result’…They are clear this mandate is against Modi ji. This is his moral and political defeat,” said Mallikarjun Kharge at a press conference with party colleagues Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi On the question of the chances of the INDIA bloc forming a government, Rahul Gandhi said, “We will hold a meeting with our alliance partners tomorrow. These questions will be raised and answered there. We won’t make any statements without asking our alliance partners.” Later, taking to social media platform X (formally Twitter), Kharge wrote in Hindi, “We humbly accept the mandate of the 18th Lok Sabha elections. This is the victory of the people. This is the victory of democracy. This time the people did not give absolute majority to any single party. Especially the ruling party, BJP, had asked for votes in the name of one person-one face. Now, it is clear that this mandate is against Modiji. This is his political and moral defeat.” “…the Congress Party’s campaign was positive from the beginning to the end. We made issues like inflation, unemployment, the plight of farmers and labourers, and misuse of constitutional institutions central issues. A large number of people joined us and supported us on these issues. The kind of campaign the Prime Minister conducted will be remembered for a long time in history. The public understood the lies that Modiji spread about the Congress manifesto,” the Congress president said. Kharge also said during both the tours of Rahul Gandhi – Bharat Jodo Yatra and Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra – meeting lakhs of people, listening to their problems, and later finding solutions to those problems, became the basis of the Congress’s campaign. “We named this as 5 Nyay and 25 guarantees. On this basis, we made a guarantee card. Our workers went door to door with it,” Kharge said.
