Can BJP achieve 400 plus
Narendra Modi and the BJP are eyeing a historic third term, with the PM and other leaders setting their goal to cross the 400-mark in the Lok Sabha. On the other hand, the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) led by the Congress is trying to stop Modi in his tracks.
