The NDA bloc is inching closer to the 300-mark despite a strong fight by the Opposition’s INDIA bloc; Congress leader Rahul Gandhi continues to lead in both Wayanad and Rae Bareli, while PM Modi, after trailing for a brief while, is back to leading. Smriti Irani, who had defeated Rahul in Amethi, is trailing from the seat.
Rahul Gandhi, who has won from both Wayanad and Rae Bareli, on being asked as to which seat he’d choose, said: “I have received a win from both the seats. I would like to thank the voters of Wayanad and Rae Bareli. I can’t take both seats so I will discuss this and decide which seat I will be keeping.”
On the Amethi win, he said: “The BJP does not respect the people and they do not talk to the people properly. Kishori Lal Sharma has a great relationship with Amethi and it’s the people who have elected him. It’s disrespectful to say that he’s a PA. He has been working with the people all throughout.”
On being asked if there is a chance for government formation, Rahul Gandhi said “We are going to have a meeting with our alliance partners tomorrow and these questions will be discussed there. We respect our partners and we are going to take their opinions before making a decision.”
