With voting for the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024 underway, Congress' Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge urged voters to turn the tide in favour of 'NYAY' and come out in large numbers to cast their franchise.


Reiterating the Congress' promise of guaranteed jobs for youth and financial assistance to women, Rahul Gandhi appealed to the voters to vote on their issues and "not get distracted."


"This is a crucial phase to turn the tide completely in favour of NYAY -- Justice and make INDIA win," said Congress chief Kharge.


Taking to his social media handle, Rahul Gandhi posted on X, "Today is the fourth phase of voting! It has become clear in the first three phases that the Indian government is going to be formed on June 4. Remember, your one vote will not only protect your democratic rights but will also change the fate of your entire family."

"1 vote = First job of Rs 1 lakh per year guaranteed for youth. 1 vote = Rs 1 lakh per year in the bank account of poor women. So come out in large numbers and vote and show that the country will now vote on its issues - it will not get distracted!" posted Gandhi.

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on his social media handle requested voters to not get deterred by the "diversionary tactics" of hateful speeches that divide the society.

Adding further he said, YUVA NYAY, KISAAN NYAY, NAARI NYAY, SHRAMIK NYAY and HISSEDARI NYAY are paramount to rekindling the spirit of freedom, justice, equality, liberty and fraternity in INDIA.

"My dear citizens, in the first three phases of the Lok Sabha elections, you have shown your might by voting for Democracy and striving to save the Constitution from autocratic forces. Today, 96 Lok Sabha constituencies in 10 States/UTs are going to vote. Assembly elections for Andhra Pradesh and the first phase of Odisha Assembly elections would also be underway," he posted.

"This is a crucial phase to turn the tide completely in favour of NYAY -- Justice and make INDIA win. Do not get deterred by the diversionary tactics of hateful speeches which divide the society. I urge you to completely focus on our collective objective in protecting Democracy and safeguarding the basis of our existence -- The Constitution of India," read the post.

"Do Remember -- YUVA NYAY, KISAAN NYAY, NAARI NYAY, SHRAMIK NYAY, HISSEDARI NYAY. These are paramount in our fight to rekindle the spirit of freedom, justice, equality, liberty and fraternity in our beloved INDIA," added the post.

Kharge also welcomed first-time voters and said they are the catalyst for change.

"Do vote and encourage your family, friends and neighbours to vote in large numbers. BADLEGA BHARAT, JEETEGA INDIA," wrote Kharge on X.
