BJP, allies leading in 20 seats, MVA ahead in 27

In a recent statement, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut discussed the leadership and future prospects of the INDIA alliance. On the question of Rahul Gandhi being the prime ministerial candidate, Raut expressed full support, stating, "If Rahul Gandhi is ready to accept the leadership, why would we object? He is a national leader and has proved himself. He is popular... We all love him. In the INDIA alliance, there is no difference of opinion on who will be the Prime Minister." Raut also addressed the current political landscape, criticising the BJP's performance. He mentioned that the BJP had secured only around 235-240 seats, falling short of a majority. He pointed out that the BJP's reliance on allies like Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar makes their government unstable, asserting, "If the NDA government is formed with the support of these two pillars... it can fall anytime." Raut claimed that the BJP has lost its respect and that the "Modi brand is finished." He attributed BJP's wins to the influence of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax (IT) department. Despite this, Raut acknowledged their democratic right to form a government but emphasized that the INDIA alliance, with its 250 seats, also has a mandate to govern. He concluded by questioning the loyalty of Naidu and Kumar to the BJP, suggesting they might choose to support democracy over dictatorship. #loksabharesult #SanyajRaut #MaharashtraResults #INDIAAlliance #RahulGandhi #RahulGandhiPM #NitishKumar #MallikarjunKharge #CongressPressConference #RahulGandhi #Modi #Adani #StockMarket #CongressPressConference #Congress #CongressCelebrations #RahulGandhi #SP #UPResult #AkhileshYadav #loksabharesult2024 #loksabharesultlive #electionresults2024 #electionresultslive #liveelectionresult #electionresultsnow #electionresult #electionresulttoday #2024elections #2024loksabhaelection2024 #2024electionresult #chunavresult #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabha2024 #bjp #congress #pmmodi #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #electionbreaking #electionnews #election2024 ~PR.152~ED.101~
