Throwback to 1984 Lok Sabha elections: When Rajiv Gandhi-led Congress crossed '400 paar'

But this is not the only record the BJP hopes to achieve.

The only time any party achieved this target was in the 1984 General Elections when the Rajiv Gandhi-led Congress won 414 seats (of the 541 that voted).
The counting of votes for Lok Sabha Elections 2024 began today at 8 am. All eyes are on whether the exit poll predictions will hold ground and Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) comes back to power with a historic third straight term.

Trump Calls Modi ‘Smart PM, Great Friend'–But Slams India’s High Tariffs! US-India Trade War to End?
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “smart man” and a “great friend,” while expressing optimism that the ongoing India-US tariff negotiations will work out “very well.” However, Trump also criticized India for being one of the “highest-tariffing nations in the world” and imposed reciprocal duties last month. How will India-US Tariff Talks turn now, remains to be seen.

Trump and Elon Musk have severely impacted federal workers, veterans, and social security services, says Ranking Member Mfume. With mass firings, agency shutdowns, and unchecked decisions, critical programs are suffering. Mfume’s resolution seeks transparency into these actions, including the firing of 18 inspector generals. As federal workforce morale plummets, Congress must act to protect public service and restore oversight.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a veiled dig at former PM Rajiv Gandhi during his address in Lok Sabha, referencing past governance failures. He highlighted corruption scandals and inefficiencies, subtly pointing to the controversial Bofors case. Modi’s remarks were part of his broader attack on the Congress legacy while responding to the motion of thanks on the President’s address. His statement has triggered a political debate, with BJP leaders backing his stance and Congress leaders fiercely defending Rajiv Gandhi’s tenure. The political battle over history continues in Parliament.
