Devendra Fadnavis takes dig at Rahul Gandhi's 150 remark: 'I can only laugh at this statement'
"I can only laugh at this statement; there is nothing more to comment on it. If Congress had any connection at ground level, the situation would not have been as bad as it is now," Fadnavis said, reported ANI.
Fadnavis's statement comes in the wake of the Congress leader stating that there is a strong undercurrent in favour of the opposition INDIA bloc in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 and the BJP will be limited to 150 seats.
"I do not make predictions about seats. 15-20 days ago, I was thinking the BJP would win around 180 seats but now I think they will get 150 seats. We are getting reports from every state that we are improving. We have a very strong alliance in Uttar Pradesh and we will perform very well," the former Congress president said while addressing a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday, reported ANI.
