Abki Baar 400 Paar: PM Modi Launches Lok Sabha Election Campaign

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially kickstarted what he hailed as the “pinnacle of democratic celebration,” following the Election Commission’s unveiling of the Lok Sabha polls schedule.

Expressing unwavering confidence in the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Modi declared his readiness for the impending electoral contest.

The Election Commission set the stage for an extensive political showdown spanning two months by announcing the 18th Lok Sabha elections to be conducted in seven phases, spanning from April 19 to June 1, with a mammoth electorate of nearly 97 crore individuals.

Taking to the social media platform X, Modi articulated that his party would engage with the public based on its proven track record of effective governance and multifaceted service delivery across various domains.

Reiterating his rallying cry of ‘Abki baar 400 paar,’ Modi asserted, “The people of India are witnessing the transformative power of a resolute, focused, and outcome-driven government. They crave more of it. Hence, from every corner of our nation, transcending all societal divides, there echoes a unanimous call – Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar!”

Directing his rhetoric towards the Opposition, Modi recounted, “A decade ago, prior to our assumption of office, the Indian populace felt disenchanted and betrayed due to the woeful governance of the INDI Alliance. Scams and policy paralysis had tarnished every sector, while the global confidence in India waned. However, from that nadir, we have risen triumphantly.”

Emphasizing the accomplishments under the BJP’s leadership, Modi underscored that the government’s initiatives had permeated every nook and cranny of the nation, yielding commendable outcomes through a strategy of comprehensive coverage. “We have ascended to become the world’s fifth-largest economy, uplifting millions from the grips of poverty,” he asserted.

Branding the Opposition as directionless and devoid of substantial agendas, Modi remarked, “Their repertoire comprises mere slander and the politics of appeasement. Their reliance on dynastic principles and attempts at societal division find diminishing resonance. Furthermore, their tainted history of corruption fails to resonate with the populace.”
