Kalaburgi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said that the grand old party will form the government in all the five states, going to polls next month and that there is anti-incumbency in the Bharatiya Janata Party ruled Madhya Pradesh, ANI reported.
While speaking to the news agency in Kalaburgi, Kharge said that the Congress-led governments in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan are doing their work properly and people there are not facing any problems.
The Assembly Elections are scheduled to be held in single or two phases in all five states– Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram– in November.
The elections will be held in Mizoram on November 7, Chhattisgarh on November 7 and November 17, Madhya Pradesh on November 17, Rajasthan on November 25 and Telangana on November 30. The counting of votes will take place on December 3 in all the states.
“Congress’ preparations for the elections in five states are going well. We are confident that we will win in all the states. There has been an anti-incumbency for the BJP owing to mainly inflation, and unemployment,” Kharge told ANI.
He said that people in Madhya Pradesh are turning against the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government.
The Congress chief levelled accusations at the BJP at the Centre saying that the party didn’t fulfil any of its poll promises. “Whatever promises were made, BJP did not fulfil even a single promise. Be it unemployment, doubling farmer’s income, or investment,” he said.
Kharge who is on a visit to his home district of Kalaburgi, Karnataka, went on to allege that the government of India is neglecting Karnataka. “No central projects are being given (to Karnataka),” he said.
Congress and BJP are the key players in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Telangana is expected to witness a triangular contest between the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, Congress and BJP.
