PM Modi says Congress won't win even 50 Lok Sabha seats, will not get opposition party status after polls

Congress would reduce below 50 seats in 2024 Lok Sabha election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday.

Addressing a public meeting in Odisha’s Kandhamal district, Mr. Modi said, “Congress would require more than 10% of Lok Sabha seats to occupy the Opposition space. People have made up their minds that Congress cannot even become main Opposition when results will be declared on June 4. They will come down below 50.”

“The Congress shehzade [a reference to Rahul Gandhi] has resorted to making statements over and over again. Refer to his 2014, 2019, and now 2024 election speeches, he continues to rant same script. Mark my words, people have made up their mind that National Democratic Alliance would win more than 400 seats and BJP will return with record number of Parliamentarians,” the PM who was on a whirlwind tour to State said.
