With conclusion of the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections yesterday (April 19), the stage is set for the second phase of the Lok Sabha polls, leading the political parties to accelerate and intensify campaigning to woo the voters. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi too, with his eyes set on the second phase, was seen addressing a public rally at Bihar's Bhagalpur on Saturday.
Addressing the rally, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made a staunch remark on the total number of seats the saffron party will win in elections saying, "These BJP people have kept saying that they will secure this many or that many seats, let me make it clear, they (BJP) won't get more than 150 seats. Not even a single seat more than 150."
Riding high on confidence that the I.N.D.I.A. Bloc will emerge victorious in the Lok Sabha polls, Rahul Gandhi also stressed on the party's vision for the country once elected to power. Highlighting the same, Rahul Gandhi said, "As soon as the INDIA alliance government comes, we will end the Agniveer scheme. India does not need two types of martyrs. Everyone should get pension."
"We will change GST. There will be one tax, minimum tax. We will double the salary of Asha and Anganwadi workers," he added.
During the second phase of the Lok Sabha polls slated to be held on April 26, four constituencies in Bihar, including Bhagalpur, Kishanganj, Katihar, and Purnia will go for polling.
