The Congress alone could not cross the hundred mark on its own.
Narendra Modi, to be sworn in Sunday as a three-term Prime Minister after Chandrababus TDP and Nitishs JDU dragged his BJP past the 272-seat majority mark – mocked eternal rival Congress for failing to win as many seats in this election.
The Congress, he declared, had yet again failed to cross the 100-seat mark and won fewer seats in three elections than the BJP had in one.
Modi – whose party finished with 240 seats, its lowest return in 15 years – also said “we were neither defeated nor are we defeated”.
He said “Our values are such we do not develop frenzy during victory and do not mock the defeated. We do not have perversion of mocking the defeated.”
Narendra Modi then taunted his rivals over their poor electoral performance.
