Will hit streets to save democracy: Congress candidate from North West Delhi Udit Raj

"The leaders of all parties will decide about the options. There will be discussions and then the course of action will be communicated. We will hit the streets to save democracy because democracy is not their (BJP) heritage. It is the heritage of the Congress party...They (BJP) do not believe in democracy, they want to change the Constitution...," Udit Raj said speaking to ANI on Monday day before the counting of votes.

Dismissing the results of the exit polls, Raj alleged that it seems that these were drafted at the BJP office or there might be a big conspiracy and the results to the Lok Sabha may have been already pre-determined.

"The way the exit polls have predicted the results this time it seems that it has been drafted at the BJP office. I am not at all on the same page with the exit poll results. Either it is a big conspiracy or it has already been predetermined. It is possible that they hired any agency like they had hired Pegasus," the Congress leader said.

Speaking about the performance of the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, Raj said, "According to ground reports, their (BJP) voters did not come out. The Mandir issue did not work. In the end, PM Modi gave statements like selling of buffaloes, snatching of mangalsutra, there will be no water, Pakistan.."

On the performance of the opposition in the Lok Sabha polls, he said, "It is clear that INDIA bloc will form the government. In Delhi, all seven seats will be won by the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress contested jointly."

Speaking about his constituency the Congress candidate said, "Today I interacted with several people of my Lok Sabha constituency. It does not seem even remotely that the BJP is in contest in North West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency."

Raj said that those who support the BJP did not come out to vote in his constituency.

"I have been to all seven assembly constituencies in my Lok Sabha. Those who do not support the BJP were standing in the queue. I know who supports the BJP because I have been with them from 2014 to 2019. All those faces were missing. There was complacency as well since there was a 4-day holiday," the Congress leader said.

"The BJP people did not brave the sun on voting day, Dalits voted in large numbers on the issue of the Constitution, Muslims voted for their safety, farmers who were agitated also voted, and the youth were also complaining because of inflation and unemployment. They were not voting in the name of PM Modi. I don't understand how they will win votes," he added.

The BJP won all seven seats in Delhi in the Lok Sabha elections in 2019. The Lok Sabha elections were held in seven phases on April 19, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi steering the BJP campaign.

A few exit polls predicted that the BJP-led NDA could reach the goal of "400 paar" stated by BJP leaders in the run-up to the elections. (ANI)
