In the Rajya Sabha, PM Modi referred to Mallikarjun Kharge as a source of entertainment and expressed his wish for the Congress to secure at least 40 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
PM Modi took a dig at Congress Rajya Sabha leader Mallikarjun Kharge for his ‘400 paar’ remark and also referenced Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee’s recent comment suggesting that the Congress might not secure more than 40 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. “I hope you retain those 40 seats,” He remarked. Mocking Kharge’s ‘400 paar’ statement, He expressed his surprise at how Kharge was able to speak so freely during his speech. “Then I realized that those two commanders were absent. Kharge ji must have thought, ‘When else will such an opportunity arise?’ and made the most of it, He remarked.

Nehru used to believe that if these people were hired for government positions, the quality of work would suffer. “They are raising the demand because they stopped it once,” PM Modi stated.
