Summary:Prime Minister Narendra Modi launches a pointed critique at the Congress, highlighting their failure to secure 100 seats in multiple elections over a decade. Despite his BJP’s lowest seat count in 15 years, Modi asserts his party’s continued dominance and mocks opposition alliances, emphasizing BJP’s electoral success.
In a scathing attack on the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, set to be sworn in for a third term on Sunday, ridiculed his long-standing political rivals for their electoral performance. Modi, whose BJP secured a majority in coalition with allies like Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP and Nitish Kumar’s JDU, taunted Congress for its failure to surpass the 100-seat mark in multiple elections.
Highlighting the BJP-led NDA’s success in crossing the 272-seat threshold, Modi hailed the coalition as the “most successful alliance” in the country. He emphasized that even after 10 years, Congress struggled to achieve significant electoral gains, failing to match the BJP’s seat count in a single election.
Addressing the media, Modi asserted, “Our values are such we do not develop frenzy during victory and do not mock the defeated.” However, he didn’t shy away from taking a dig at his rivals, suggesting that the Congress-led INDI Alliance was gradually sinking and would continue to do so at a faster pace.
The Prime Minister-designate’s remarks come in the wake of BJP’s victory in the recent elections, despite securing its lowest seat count in 15 years. As Modi prepares for his third term, his remarks underscore the ongoing political rivalry between the BJP and Congress, with each seeking to assert its dominance on the national stage.
