Addressing the journalists, Shri Jairam Ramesh said that friends, the fourth meeting of 'India' alliance has just ended. Congress President and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha... Mallikarjun Kharge ji will address you.

Shri Mallikarjun Kharge said that all the leaders present on the stage and all the media friends present here and those who have come to our 'India' alliance, all those leaders... today was our fourth meeting here in Delhi, this fourth 28 parties participated in the meeting and leaders of 28 parties presented their views before the alliance. And it is a matter of happiness that everyone has come together as to how the alliance should work in the future and how everyone should do agitation together in the interest of the people or whatever the issues are. They have to be raised... So it was decided to hold at least 8-10 meetings together across the country and people felt it important to know that if the people of the alliance do not come on one platform then people will be informed about it. The importance that is to be given to this or to be known will not be there... That is why everyone agreed and everyone together has taken this decision... It is a very good thing that our meeting lasts for at least two-three hours. Let's go.

Second thing... by throwing our 151 MPs out of the House... we passed a resolution condemning the BJP government which is running the House, saying that it is undemocratic and against democracy. And if democracy is to be saved then we all will have to fight together and everyone is ready for this fight. And this is the first time in the history of India, in a democratic process, that the issue we raised in the House was not a wrong issue… the issue was that those who came inside the House, how did they come and who brought them to the House? And in what manner did he go everywhere and give slogans, did everything... but whatever issues he had, he raised them with his voice in the Lok Sabha. We are already saying that the Home Minister or the Prime Minister should come to the House... inform the House about the incidents that have happened, inform the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha... but they did not agree. . I don't understand what the House is doing here, these people go to the inauguration of buildings in Ahmedabad. The House is going on here, Modi ji goes and roams around in his constituency. what is this? This never happened... He stayed here in the country and started giving speeches everywhere but why did he not come to the Parliament, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha?

So, their intention is to destroy democracy… If they do not go (to Parliament) then what will happen, who is going to ask and even who will throw out 151 people by suspending them, this is the first incident…

Till now no one in the country had suspended so many people, the government got them suspended by giving encouragement. This is a very bad thing and for this we will fight, go to the field and today the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are thinking that apart from us, no one else in India is capable of ruling, we are the only ones who are worthy of ruling... this is their understanding. To end this understanding, we all have united, together we have taken many decisions today.

One is about 151 people (suspended MPs); And the second thing is... everyone should protest together and All India Protest on 22nd December... This will apply to all the suspensions that took place; And the third thing is that the issue of 'India' alliance is that all the people will work together and also regarding seat sharing, we will first compromise with each other in the states where our people are, if there is a problem somewhere

Or it cannot be made somewhere, for that then the leaders of our 'India' alliance here will decide it and in many places every party is doing well... whether it is in Tamil Nadu, Be it in Karnataka, Kerala or Telangana, be it in Bihar... Now the issue which is in UP, that too will be solved and the rest is in Delhi or Punjab, how to solve that problem also. The matter will be decided later. So this is what we decided and held this meeting. I am happy that the 28 party leaders and all the stalwarts sitting here in this meeting cooperated and made this meeting successful. Therefore, I heartily congratulate all of them and thank them that they will move forward and strengthen this alliance in the country.

In response to a question regarding the Prime Ministerial candidate, Mr. Kharge said that first everyone has to win... let us think about what to do to win. Who will become the Prime Minister is a matter later. If there is no MP then what is the use of talking about the Prime Minister. Therefore, first of all, to increase our numbers, we all will fight together and try to bring majority and which BJP and Modi ji are doing very much today... After two-three elections, they have become so arrogant that now there will be no one left in the country except me or they propagate that I am the only leader in the world... so we will try to win first and will win unitedly. .

In response to another question asked on this issue, Shri Kharge said that no matter how many times I say... I am saying that first we will win, then what can our MPs come and do in the democratic process... that will happen. First of all we are concerned about winning and all of you should think in that direction, not that he said this, we said this... This is our internal matter, there is nothing in it. Thank you.

Shri Jairam Ramesh again said that friends, after today's meeting, all the parties requested Kharge ji to brief you... Kharge ji has given you information about the issues that were raised in this meeting. Apart from this, as he has said... there will be protests on 22nd across the country, in all the states... the 151 MPs who have been suspended so far, the MPs from 'India' parties who have been suspended in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. There will be protests across the country regarding this. Thanks.
