“Our opponents may say anything about the I.N.D.I.A alliance. We are optimistic,” he said.
Kharge said that the Congress has finalised seat-sharing with Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party, and has reached an agreement with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, RJD, DMK, and Muslim League, which is yet to be announced. “We will hold discussions with all the constituent partners of I.N.D.I.A bloc till the last minute to give a tough fight. We are confident that the people of the country will teach a lesson to NDA as we are moving towards dictatorship,” he added.
