Singh stated, โThis election is about saving the countryโs democracy and constitution and opposing authoritarian rule. There is no confidence in Prime Minister Narendra Modiโs victory. If the BJP were winning, they wouldnโt take action against opposition leaders during elections. This election is not happening under normal circumstances; itโs about saving democracy and opposing authoritarianism.โ
He further asserted that the India United Front would win the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and pledged that in Uttar Pradesh, wherever there are Samajwadi Party candidates, each worker and elected representative of the AAP would work to ensure victory for the India United Front candidates.

Akhilesh Yadav echoed these sentiments, stating that the AAPโs elected representatives and all workers were supporting their candidates in this crucial Lok Sabha election. He said, โThere was a large rally in support of CM Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi. Like Delhi, Jharkhandโs Chief Minister Hemant Soren has also been sent to jail. The entire country knows that the BJP formed its government in Maharashtra using these institutions. Many leaders joining the BJP have said that although their bodies are going to the BJP, their souls are with you. These people are inducing fear and bringing opposition leaders into the BJP. Therefore, the Aam Aadmi Party is receiving full support from us to save the countryโs democracy, constitution, and Indiaโs identity worldwide.โ
This development marks a significant shift in the political landscape ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, highlighting the AAPโs strategic decision to support the India United Front in a bid to protect democracy and end tyranny.
