PM Modi's 'Interesting' Trivia On Congress Vs BJP Poll Battle, Find What He Said Inside

Prime Minister Narendra Modi compared statistics of Congress and BJP to highlight BJP's success during the party's Parliamentary meeting on Thursday.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister and BJP leader, Joshi, highlighted an “interesting fact” shared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with party leaders. PM Modi said, out of 39 instances where the BJP sought a repeat mandate, it succeeded 22 times. In contrast, when the Congress faced elections 40 times while in government, it achieved success only seven times. Joshi emphasised that these figures, with the BJP's success rate at 56 per cent compared to Congress's 18 per cent, to demonstrate the saffron party's standing as the people's foremost choice for governance.

"PM Modi shared an interesting fact today. While being in government when the Congress party faced elections 40 times in states, it got success only seven times. Whereas BJP got a chance to seek a repeat mandate 39 times and got success 22 times”, Joshi quoted PM Modi to the media. 

Adding, "Our percentage is 56 percent and Congress's is 18 percent. Thus the figures prove that people's biggest choice now is BJP," Joshi said.

Prime Minister Modi himself referenced electoral data to underline the BJP's status as the preferred party for governance, especially noting the party's track record of winning state elections while in power, surpassing the Congress in this regard.

This comes in the wake of the party's emphatic victories in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan assembly polls -- attributed primarily to Modi's leadership.

During the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting held ahead of the fourth day of the Winter Session of Parliament, Prime Minister Modi received a rousing welcome from party MPs. BJP National President JP Nadda greeted the Prime Minister at the meeting, where MPs applauded and chanted "Modi ji ka swagat hai."
