Confidence in Opposition victory

The seventh and last phase of Lok Sabha elections was underway across the country on Saturday, in states including Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

The DMK chief exuded confidence of the opposition coalition emerging victorious in the hustings.

“Our #INDIA bloc, formed to defeat the ten-year fascist regime of the BJP and save India, has met the expectations of the people and stands on the cusp of victory. It has rallied a formidable coalition of democratic forces against the BJP, who thought there was nobody to challenge them, ” Stalin said.

“This alliance now offers hope to all Indians in the electoral arena,” he said.

“Through relentless campaigning, the leaders of the INDIA bloc have dismantled the false image the BJP created in the public sphere. With just three days remaining until our impending victory, I urge our cadre to remain vigilant during the vote counting process,” Stalin added.
