New Delhi, February 5

With the general election around the corner, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday prophesied that the ruling BJP would win 370 plus seats and the ruling National Democratic Alliance would cross 400 seats.

After launching a scathing attack on the Congress for practising dynastic politics, disregarding the capacity of Indian people, delaying the development of India through its “lazy pace”, the PM said, “Now the third term of our government is not far. A maximum of 100 to 125 days are left. And this time, we will cross 400.”

“The country is saying abki baar 400 paar (400 plus this time). Even Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is saying this,” Modi said exuding confidence of a win.

The PM said he did not believe in numbers but he had the confidence of a victory on the basis of the approach of the people.

“The people will ensure the NDA crosses 400 and the BJP wins 370,” Modi said, adding that his third term would be one of transformational decisions.

Recalling his remarks at the Red Fort and later at the inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the PM said, “We want to see India at the pinnacle of glory over the next 1,000 years. Our third term will be dedicated to laying strong foundations for India over the next 1,000 years. I have full faith in the capacity of Indians.”

Earlier, the PM in a caustic attack on the principal opposition, said that at its lazy pace, the Congress would have taken 100 years and wasted five generations to build 4 crore rural houses the BJP government had built in 10 years.

In a swipe at Rahul Gandhi’s “mohabbat ki dukaan” campaign, the PM said the “Congress shop is on the verge of a lockdown due to failed attempts to relaunch one product.”

He also blamed the Congress for the current state of the opposition and in a dig at the INDIA bloc, he said, “The alignment of their alliance is disturbed.”
