Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Jitu Patwari on Tuesday exuded confidence of his party's win in the Lok Sabha election 2024 saying, they gave their best and results would be the best.

Patwari told ANI, "When the Congress party began its campaign with five Nyay, the entire country talked about it, including the prime minister, the BJP and the media. It means that the issues are relevant. The result of the election is in its place, every party should win and we also hope to win and we put all our efforts for the same."

"The manner in which questions are being raised again and again on the electoral process and dictatorship of the Election Commission - what does all of this indicate? That elected Governments belong to the country. Why did it start belonging to a party? I consider that the Congress party has given its best and the results will be the best," Congress leader said.

When asked about the exit poll prediction for only one seat in Madhya Pradesh, Patwari said that the truth of the exit polls would be revealed within the next a few hours.

"Our moral responsibility is to change the power with respect for the country and to serve the country by being in power. Whatever responsibility the country has given us, we have fulfilled it with courage, considering it our duty and will do so in future too," he added.

Patwari said that they would win at least six seats in the state. As per the initial trends of counting of votes that began on Tuesday morning released by the Election Commission of India, the BJP was leading at all the 29 parliamentary seats in the state.
