New Delhi, Sept 24: Rahul Gandhi, expressed confidence in Congress’ chances of winning the upcoming Assembly elections on Sunday. He said that his party is “certainly winning” in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, “probably winning” in Telangana and that Rajasthan is a “very close contest.”
It was impossible, he claimed, for Congress to not win any of the states in the Assembly elections.
“I would say, right now, we are probably winning Telangana, we are certainly winning Madhya Pradesh, we are certainly winning Chhattisgarh. Rajasthan, we are very close, and we think we will be able to win. That is what it looks like. By the way, that is also what the BJP internally is saying,” he said at a media conclave.
Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Mizoram assembly elections are scheduled for later this year.
He claimed that the BJP will be “in for a surprise in the 2024” Lok Sabha elections and that the Opposition is adapting and cooperating.
“We are adapting to a situation where the BJP controls the media. Don’t think the opposition is not capable of adapting, we are adapting, we are working together, we are 60 per cent of India’s population. BJP is in for a surprise in 2024 (Lok Sabha polls),” he said.
In the lead-up to those states’ elections, Rahul Gandhi asserted that the Congress was in charge of the narrative in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. “If you speak to people in Rajasthan on what is the issue in terms of anti-incumbency, they will tell you they like the government,” he added.
