PM Modi vouches for 400 seats in Lok Sabha Polls
The Indian prime minister also addressed a public gathering in Jharkhand's Dhanbad during which he affirmed that the NDA alliancewill win over 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"The slogan of '400 paar' is being raised because the country has faith in Modi's guarantee... I want to apologize that the 'pandal' is too small today. Only 5 per cent of the people are inside, the rest 95 per cent are outside in the sun," the Prime Minister said.
PM Modi during the address also hit out at the opposition Congress stating that the grand old party resisted positive development in India and was its enemy.
"Congress and its alliance parties are the biggest enemies of development... The foundation stone of the Electricity power plant of North Karanpura was laid by former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the end of the previous century... After that, the scammer government of Congress came into power and this project was shut down... In 2014, I gave a guarantee of reviving this project. Today, a no. of houses are lightened because of this power plant" the PM said.
