Regarding the BJP's seat announcement, he maintained that it is their internal matter, expressing confidence in the Congress's preparedness and focusing on their strategies.
"It's an internal matter for the BJP; it doesn't concern us. We focus on our work, and they focus on theirs. Their internal dynamics, the number of candidates, and new faces are their affairs. Our strategy and preparations are in place. When the time comes, our seat announcement will happen," Jairam Ramesh said.
On Saturday, the Bharatiya Janata Party released its first list of 195 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will contest Lok Sabha elections from Varanasi again.
