Feb 18, 2024
New Delhi [India], February 18 : Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement about the BJP aiming for 370 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, emphasizing the democratic nature of the country.
"Prime Minister Modi has said 370 (seats)...but it is in the hands of the public. This is a democracy and in a democracy, the people rule. Nothing will happen by the words of any leader," Kakkar told ANI.
Earlier on February 5, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the third term of his government is not far and this time the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will win 400 seats and the Bharatiya Janata Party, individually, will get 370 seats.
"A Ram Temple of Lord Ram was built which will continue to give new energy to the great tradition of India. Now the third term of our government is not far. Maximum 100 days left. The whole country is saying that 'Abki baar 400 paar'. I don't go into numbers but I can see the mood of the country. It will make the NDA cross 400 and BJP will get 370 seats," PM Modi said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) national convention on Saturday passed a significant political resolution titled 'Viksit Bharat' highlighting the achievements under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding that the Modi government would return to power for a third straight term with a roadmap for expanding the government's welfare and development programmes.
The political resolution passed by the BJP's national convention mentioned the achievements of the Modi government. It credited PM Narendra Modi for elevating India's image as a capable and strong nation with a vision for a developed India by 2047.
Bharatiya Janata Party president JP Nadda urged party workers to strive hard in the Lok Sabha polls, aiming to surpass the 370-seat mark and expressing confidence in the Modi government in achieving a hat-trick and creating a record.
"Before 2014, people used to make fun of us, that is how we form the government. But after 2014 our government was formed and in 2019 again we formed the government with the majority," he said.
Notably, the Chief Minister's Council meeting of BJP-ruled states will be held on Sunday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President JP Nadda will attend the meeting at 3:30 pm in Bharat Mandapam on Sunday.
