The Congress, which is having its working committee meeting on Saturday, dropped hints at making moves that could lead to mid-term elections. Congress's Jorhat MP Gaurav Gogoi said that Narendra Modi will not be able to complete his five-year term. Former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, who lost the Rajnandangaon seat in the Lok Sabha elections, said that the NDA's government was an unstable one and would fall very soon.

"Bananas and berries don't go well together. This government will fall," Baghel said before going to attend the CWC meeting in Delhi.

Gaurav Gogoi said: "The win margin of Rahul Gandhi from Raebareli is higher than that of Narendra Modi's in Varanasi. Hence, I feel Narendra Modi won't be able to remain the PM for more than 5 years."
