"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."
