NEW DELHI: As campaigning for the first phase ended on Wednesday, INDIA bloc leaders addressed public meetings and rallies across 102 Lok Sabha seats.
Addressing a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav in Ghaziabad, Congress' Rahul Gandhi struck an optimistic note and claimed that BJP will only win up to 150 seats. Gandhi also dubbed electoral bonds as the "world's biggest extortion scheme" and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the "champion of corruption".
Yadav asserted that "winds of change" are blowing from western Uttar Pradesh and there will be an INDIA bloc "clean sweep" from Ghaziabad to Ghazipur. Eight seats of western UP are going to polls in the first phase. "BJP has become a godown of the corrupt. They are not only taking in the corrupt but also their earnings," Yadav alleged.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi held a roadshow in support of Congress candidate Imran Masood in Saharanpur. Yadav also addressed two public meetings in Moradabad and Nagina, where he was joined by AAP leader Sanjay Singh.
Gandhi later addressed two public meetings in Mandya and Kolar in Karnataka. In Kolar he was joined by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK leader MK Stalin did a public meeting in Chennai. All 39 seats of Tamil Nadu are going to polls in the first phase. In a statement, Stalin said: "Narendra Modi should be removed from the post of prime minister. The country cannot afford to have him as the PM for a third term."
