‘Some secret hidden in.’: Opposition on PM Modi’s 370 Lok Sabha seats prediction
Several leaders of the Opposition on Tuesday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) getting 370 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking in Parliament on Monday during the Budget Session, Modi predicted that the BJP will win at least 370 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will cross the 400 mark.
“I can gauge the mood of the nation, it will definitely give NDA more than 400 seats and the BJP at least 370 seats,” PM Modi said, citing the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, a long-held ideological goal of the BJP.
On Tuesday, Congress MP KC Venugopal criticised Modi’s statement saying that there is no need to hold elections now.
“There is no need for elections now. He has already got 400 seats so what is the point of elections? In a democracy, everything is decided by the people. We have full confidence that the people of the country will decide to change and remove this dictatorial government.”
