‘A correct decision now can create an India where…’: Mallikarjun Kharge urges voters

NEW DELHI: Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday urged countrymen to come in large numbers and vote in the third phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha election and said, “When you press that button on the EVM, keep in mind that you are deciding not just your future, but the collective future of 140 crore fellow Indians”.

In a post on X, Kharge said that a correct decision now can create an India where “justice” is supreme. “Vote to save Constitution; Vote to protect Democracy! 11 Crore people in 93 Constituencies shall exercise their democratic right, not just to elect their representatives, but to decide whether they want to secure their Constitutional Rights or witness our great nation veer towards Dictatorship. I sincerely urge you to choose democracy so that our Institutions can return to their independent form and are not pressed under the thumb of brute power. We are right in the middle of the battle. A correct decision now can create an India where NYAY i.e. JUSTICE is supreme”, he said.

He also mentioned “Yuva Nyay, Naari Nyay, Kisaan Nyay, Shramik Nyay and Hissedari Nyay” in his post, which Rahul Gandhi had mentioned during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.
