At a rally on Sunday in the Madhya Pradesh tribal region of Jhabua, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shouted, “24 mein 400 paar” and “Kamal ko 370 paar,” just a minute after asserting that he was not there to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.
Modi had just inaugurated or laid the groundwork for a number of development projects when he spoke at the event.
Modi was rumoured to be visiting Jhabua in order to blow the electoral bugle. I would like to clarify that Modi is not here on a campaign trail. He remarked, “As the servant, Modi has come to thank the godly people of Madhya Pradesh.”
According to him, the Madhya Pradesh populace gave a sneak peek of their prevailing sentiments prior to the Lok Sabha elections through the Assembly elections. He asserted that even the leaders of the Opposition had started to realise the BJP was going to win big.
Is it PM Modi Hypocricy?
“Madhya Pradesh has additionally demonstrated the increasing popularity of the double-engine administrations led by the BJP. “Therefore, even prominent Opposition leaders, including those in Parliament, have begun stating, ‘400 plus in 24’ this time,” Modi stated.
After chanting “Chaubis mein…”, the audience added “400 paar” to finish the phrase.
The throng responded with a yell of “Modi sarkar” as Modi said, “Fir ek baar…”
In the Lok Sabha, Modi had brought up the “400 plus” protest early this week in response to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s speech. He has never used it in a public rally before.
The battle cry is thought to be a psychological tactic used in the run-up to the elections to scare and demoralise the opposition, particularly the Congress.
Modi expressed his agreement with the opposition’s estimate of “400 plus” seats for the NDA, but he was confident that the BJP would secure over 370 seats on its own. Some interpret the reference to 370 seats as a subliminal hint that Article 370 has been repealed.
Amidst shouts of “Jai Shri Ram” from the assembly, Modi declared, “Akela BJP, akela kamal ka nishan 370 paar karega” (The BJP alone, the lotus symbol alone, will cross 370).
Modi continued by demonstrating how to reach the goal to the audience, which was ostensibly made up of BJP officials. He declared that he would distribute the “jadi-butti” (medication) in public to pass 370 seats.
He requested that party leaders obtain the total number of votes the BJP had received at their voting places throughout the previous three elections.
“Enter the highest vote total that the BJP has received in each of the three elections. Now give it an additional 370 votes. That ought to be your goal, and the BJP will win more seats than 370, according to Modi.
To reach the goal, he instructed the cadres to grab the voter list and begin knocking on houses.
“If you follow this mantra and add 370 new votes at every polling booth, 370+ seats are assured,” he stated.
Modi asserted that the southern states were not an exception to the pro-BJP sentiment that pervaded the entire nation. Ahead of the Ram temple consecration in Ayodhya, he claimed to have been able to assess the mood of the people during his recent visits to temples in the south.
“I went to the south for puja-paath, or worship, and there was no public event planned. However, the attitude I witnessed amongst mothers, sisters, the young, old, and old — thousands of them came out to bless me. He remarked, “I experienced the strength of this nation and their incredible love for me.
Aimed at the Congress, Modi declared that the party would be “wiped out” in the Lok Sabha elections despite having been “sent on leave” in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections.
“Janjatiyas” (tribal communities) are a vote bank that the Congress uses, he claimed, without any regard for them.
According to Modi, there was turmoil within the Congress, and its leaders were frantically trying to leave. This is the fate of those who turn a blind eye to the people. The Congress is currently mired in its own faults. It will sink farther the harder it tries to surface, he warned.
He urged citizens to exercise caution, accusing the party of plotting to “divide” the nation along “caste, language, and region” lines.
“When the Congress is in power, they plunder and when they are not, they plot to split.” The party’s blatant antipathy towards Native Americans was made clear when it made every effort to prevent a Native American woman from winning the presidency of the United States,” the speaker remarked.
He claimed that the Congress will learn a lesson from this, and the indigenous people would never forget it.
