PM Modi laughs at Mallikarjun Kharge's 'abki baar, 400 paar' remark in Rajya Sabha. Here is video

Leader of Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, while addressing the Upper House of the Parliament in the presence of PM Modi was seen saying BJP's slogan for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

BJP leaders have been using Kharge's comment 'Abki Baar, 400 paar' to say that the opposition has conceded defeat ahead of the elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen laughing at Kharge's comment.



BJP's official social media account shared the video with the caption saying "PM Modi be like "I need new haters, the old ones have become my fans..."

Union Minister Piyush Goyal, Pralhad Joshi and others have shared the snippet of Kharge saying BJP's slogan on their social media accounts.

Earlier during the day, Goyal demanded an apology from the Congress for the controversial statement by party MP that suggested a call for a separate south nation over fiscal injustice, but the opposition party's president said it stands for a united nation and will not tolerate any such call. Raising the issue in the Rajya Sabha when it met for the day, Goyal said the statement by D K Suresh, who is the brother of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, reflects the "divisive" thinking of the Congress party.

BJP's 'Abki baar, 400 baar' campaign:
The BJP recently decided on a new slogan, 'Teesri baar Modi Sarkar, ab ki baar 400 paar' for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, party sources said. The slogan was decided in a meeting chaired by National President JP Nadda.

"Teesri baar Modi Sarkar, ab ki baar 400 paar'. BJP has set a target to win 400 plus seats in 2024 Lok Sabha polls," a senior party source said.

According to a party functionary, the BJP has also decided convenors and co-convenors at the State Assembly and Lok Sabha levels.

"BJP has also decided convenors and co-convenors at the state, Lok Sabha and assembly levels. "Shortly, the visits of the Prime Minister, Home Minister, Defence Minister and BJP President JP Nadda will begin in Lok Sabha clusters," sources said.

The cluster-making formula was given in the last BJP office-bearers meeting, which Prime Minister Narender Modi also attended.
