Rahul Gandhi makes big claim 'BJP will be limited to 150 seats'

Addressing a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said there is a strong undercurrent in favour of the opposition INDIA bloc in the Lok Sabha elections and the BJP will be limited to 150 seats.

“I do not do prediction of seats. 15-20 days ago I was thinking the BJP would win around 180 seats but now I think they will get 150 seats. We are getting reports from



every state that we are improving. We have a very strong alliance in Uttar Pradesh and we will perform very well…” the former Congress president said.

When asked about whether he will contest the general elections from Amethi or Raebarelli, Gandhi said, “This is the BJP’s question; very good. Whatever order I get, I will follow it. In our party, all these (selections of candidates) decisions are taken by the CEC.”
