Yogendra Yadav, who has been a perennial protester against the Modi government, added that the message today to anyone who wants to stand up to this government, is they're going down, inko to dekh lenge.
Yogendra Yadav fails to see that out of two competing narratives, one hasn't moved below 400 for the NDA, other one too has predicted a comfortable and third majority government for the NDA.
Furthermore, claiming that it is not an exit poll but a general math, Yadav claimed, “BJP will be reduced to 233 seats suffering loss of 70 seats. Along with this, allies will get 35 seats that is 268. Thus, BJP-NDA can miss the majority mark.

In this, point number 7.1 had called for the government to take over all properties of private citizens and treat them as national resources.
