While holding a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow, Kharge said: "They keep reiterating their claim of giving 5 kg of foodgrain to 80 crore people. But, we brought the Food Security Act. Anybody can approach court if it (ration) is stopped. When the alliance government is formed, we will give 10 kgs. I can give this guarantee because we are implementing this in states." This promise is not included in the Congress' manifesto. He exuded confidence the alliance was in a strong position after four phases of elections.
