Prime Minister Narendra Modi replied to the 'Motion of Thanks' to the President's address in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday (7 February).
During his speech, PM Modi took a dig at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his claim that the BJP-led NDA alliance will win 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
"Kharge Ji has given 400 paar ashirvaad to the NDA. When will he get the chance to say like that again?" PM Modi said.
He also referred to Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's recent statement that the Congress may not cross 40 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
"I pray that you keep 40 seats," he added.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
