"Let him say for 2-3 days...": Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Kharge's statement of INDIA alliance winning over 295 seats

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 1 (ANI): Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan sharply reacted to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge's statement that INDIA alliance will win over 295 seats in Lok Sabha elections 2024, saying that let him say like that for 2-3 days and after that, he would be saying "there is a fault in EVM."
"Let him (Kharge) say like that for 2-3 days. After that, he would be saying that there is a fault in EVM. BJP along with NDA will cross 400 (seats), BJP alone will win 370," Chouhan told reporters on Saturday.
Earlier today, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, in INDIA bloc meeting, exuded confidence that the Opposition alliance would win more than 295 seats in the Lok Sabha elections.
"INDIA bloc will win at least 295 seats in the elections...it will be over that, but not less. We have analysed after discussing with all the leaders, and there is no doubt in the number...this is a people's survey, based on the information given by people," Kharge said while speaking to reporters in Delhi on Saturday.
The Congress president said that they want to take the "truth" to the people against BJP's narrative.
"Government survey also happens, they (BJP) have many ways to create surveys and media also highlights their chunks," Kharge said. "We have decided to participate in exit poll debates. We want to take the truth to people, against the narrative they (BJP) are trying to present."
