‘Vote For Unity, Justice, And Important Issues’: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge is urging voters to embrace justice, unity, and pressing issues that affect people’s daily lives as the sixth of polling for Lok Sabha elections begins on Saturday.

“My dear countrymen, the struggle to safeguard democracy and the Constitution has reached its final two phases. Today is the sixth phase of voting and you must vote. Vote for unity, justice, and important issues. Vote against the politics of hatred, slogans, and diversion. Think twice before pressing the button on the EVM,” Kharge posted on X.

“Don’t you want fair politics? Such economic and social security in which we can build a progressive and inclusive India through justice to youth, farmers, women, labour, and equity. If you need this, then people who are voting on 68 seats in 6 states and 2 union territories should vote for building such an India,” the Congress leader added.

Kharge also exhorted voters to cast ballots in opposition to inflation and unemployment.

“Remember, today is the day when you will be able to defeat the terrible unemployment and uncontrolled inflation that has been spreading for years. Today is the day when you will be able to protect the reservation of Dalits, tribals, and backward classes. Today is the day when you will be able to defeat the unbridled power of dictatorship with the power of democracy. Because, if not now, then never,” he wrote on X.

Additionally, the president of Congress encouraged first-time voters to vote in large numbers.

“I appeal to my young friends who are voting for the first time to vote, India’s democracy can be saved from your hands. In the last five phases, dictatorial forces have suffered a major setback, their chairs are shaking, and voices of panic are at their peak. This is the power of your vote. Justice will begin on 4 June, India has decided that the situation will change,” he said.

The Congress’s general secretary, Jairam Ramesh, was optimistic about winning all seven Lok Sabha seats from the country’s capital.

“5 phases of elections have been held. It became clear after the first 2 phases that ‘Dakshin mein BJP saaf aur Uttar mein half’, so the INDIA alliance will get a clear and decisive mandate on June 4 and on the 4th the country will bid him (PM Modi) goodbye. I have full confidence that our alliance will win all seven seats in Delhi,” he said.
