WEB Abki Baar 400 Paar: BJP's Dream Dying Down
Modi's Slogan of Surpassing 400 Seats Fading as Results Trickle In
Two Key States Hold the Fate of BJP's Target
The BJP's grand slogan of "Abki Baar 400 Paar" (This time, surpassing 400) began to lose its luster as the results of the Lok Sabha elections started to emerge on Thursday.
Panned by Manish Muradiya and embraced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the slogan encapsulated the BJP's ambitious target of winning more than 400 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
However, the BJP's performance in the key states of Kerala and West Bengal has cast doubt on the party's ability to achieve its lofty goal. In 1984, the Congress party won 13 out of Kerala's 20 seats. In this election, the BJP is struggling to hold on to its one seat in the state.
In West Bengal, the BJP had hoped to make significant gains, especially after the defection of several prominent leaders from the Trinamool Congress. However, the party is now facing an uphill battle against Mamata Banerjee's incumbent government, which is seeking a third consecutive term.
