“People of India are set to make the INDIA bloc victorious. The alliance will win the Lok Sabha polls”, Solanki, who is in-charge for the Congress’ Jammu and Kashmir unit, said while addressing a gathering of party workers in Samba district.
Solanki, who is leading the Congress’ parliamentary election campaign in the region for the past three days, also referred to the slogan ‘Judega Bharat, Jeetega India’.
“There is huge support for the INDIA alliance. People are with us”, he said. The alliance was formed to take on the BJP in the general elections.
