Tharoor further said, “Going into the last two weeks of this election, it has become apparent that people are disillusioned with the Modi government for the undelivered promises in the past 10 years. In every constituency, national and local issues are being highlighted by the Congress party. We are looking forward to very good results,” Tharoor said.
“We are doing significantly better than last time in Rajasthan, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and even in Uttar Pradesh. On top of that, in Bihar, (West) Bengal and even a couple of places in Gujarat, it is not going to be easy for the BJP, and our self confidence has gone up,” he said.
Voting for the seven parliamentary seats in Delhi is scheduled to take place in the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha polls on 25th May.
