Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal expressed confidence in the party’s ability to form the government after five phases of polling. He stated that the feedback from the ground indicated that the INDIA bloc would secure the necessary seats. Venugopal highlighted the concerns raised by the public during Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, including unemployment, inflation, and women’s safety, which the Congress campaign has focused on. He dismissed the BJP’s attacks on the Congress as attempts to divide the country, emphasizing the importance of constitutional safeguards and the need to remove the current government for the sake of democracy.
