BJP won't get more than 150 seats in LS polls: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has claimed that there was a strong undercurrent in favour of the INDIA bloc and the BJP would be limited to just 150 seats. "Around 15–20 days ago, I was thinking the BJP would win around 180 seats, but now I think they will get 150 seats. We are getting reports from every state that we are improving. We have a very strong alliance in Uttar Pradesh, and we will perform very well," he said.Addressing a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav in Gaziabad in UP on Wenesday, Rahul Gandhi said,Prime Minister Narendra Modi “the champion of corruption”. Reacting to PM Modi's recent remarks on the scrapped electoral bonds scheme, Gandhi said it was the “biggest extortion scheme in the world”. At the presser, Rahul Gandhi said the Lok Sabha elections are the elections of ideology. He claimed that the BJP and the RSS were destroying the Constitution.The INDIA alliance and Congress Party are trying to defend and protect the Constitution and democracy. There are 2-3 big issues in the elections. Unemployment is the biggest and inflation is the second biggest but BJP is engaged in creating distractions...Neither the Prime Minister nor the BJP talks about the issues," he claimed.
