PM Narendra Modi hit out at the I.N.D.I.A. bloc as he also claimed that the NDA will cross 400 and BJP will get 370 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
The head of government, Narendra Modi, situated in New Delhi, delivered a response on Monday to the Acknowledgement Motion ensuing the Presidential discourse which occurred on January 31, 2024. In his preceding speech within the parliamentary assembly before the Lok Sabha electoral event anticipated later this year, the Prime Minister aimed a pointed critique towards the I.N.D.I.A coalition affiliated with the Opposition. In a notable declaration, he envisioned an emphatic triumph for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the forthcoming LS elections. Asserting with conviction, he foresaw the NDA securing over 400 constituencies, emphasizing that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alone is poised to clinch no less than 370 seats.
He articulated, “The coherence of the coalition has been disrupted.” This statement alludes to the internal discord within the Opposition alliance, underscored by the collapse of negotiations regarding the distribution of seats, notably in regions such as Punjab and West Bengal.
In the interim, Prime Minister Modi underscored, “I can discern the prevailing sentiment of the populace; it is undoubtedly inclined towards granting the NDA more than 400 seats and ensuring a minimum of 370 seats for the BJP.” He further accentuated his conviction that opposition factions, acknowledging their diminished prospects, have opted to prolong their tenure in the opposition.
“The opposition has relinquished its resolve to contest elections and has opted to remain entrenched in the opposition benches for an extended duration,” Prime Minister Modi proclaimed, asserting that the government’s third consecutive term is on the horizon, with a mere 100-125 days remaining until the impending elections.
Emphasizing solidarity within the BJP ranks, Modi invoked the party’s rallying cry, “Abki baar,” affirming, “400 paar,” with BJP members chiming in unison.
The chant of ‘Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar’ resonated as he delivered his remarks.
The Prime Minister alluded to a blunder by the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in the Rajya Sabha, remarking, “Even Kharge ji is echoing the same sentiment.
