SP-BSP alliance in UP, Bihar will defeat BJP in 2019: Rahul Gandhi

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday expressed his views upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) cannot win the election if there is an alliance in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. He said that the Congress, BSP and SP can take 120 seats from the two states from the BJP which will prevent its coming into power. The Congress president said that the BJP has tremendous power to hurt the businesses and the people. He said that right now the voice of the small businesses, the farmers and of the real India is not being heard.

In an interaction with the National Indian Students and Alumni Union (UK) at the London School of Economics, Gandhi said the first priority of the Congress is to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and stop institutions in India from being encroached upon.

“The next election is pretty straightforward. On one side, there is BJP, and on the other side, there is every opposition party. The reason is, for the first time, Indian institutions are under attack,” he said.
