Politburo member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) G. Ramakrishnan on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, said the INDIA bloc would sweep the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
Addressing a press conference in Puducherry, Mr. Ramkrishnan said the INDIA alliance partners would win all the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and the single seat from Puducherry. “Last year, we lost one seat in Tamil Nadu but this time we are going to win all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and retain the Puducherry seat as well. There is so much anger against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP government. People have understood the corruption involved in the electoral bond scheme and the BJP’s failures on the governance front,” he said.
The funds received by the BJP under the electoral bond scheme have exposed the duplicity of the party in its fight against corruption, he said. While enforcement agencies were targeting Opposition leaders, corrupt leaders were joining BJP to evade probes, he claimed, in an apparent reference to the arrest of Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate.
