Congress Claims Modi Government on 'Last Legs'

The Congress claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's legitimacy has been reduced to 'one-third' and his government is on the verge of collapse. This comes after PM Modi's remarks in the Rajya Sabha about the Congress's repeated 'one-third government' jibe. The discussion centered around the political stability of Modi's administration.

The Congress on Wednesday made a striking claim, suggesting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's legitimacy has shrunk to merely 'one-third' and that his government is on its 'last legs' and could fall at any moment.

The opposition's comments were in response to Modi's statement in the Rajya Sabha, where he quipped about the Congress's constant refrain of a 'one-third government'. Modi expressed contentment, stating, 'What can be a bigger truth than this that we have completed 10 years, 20 more are left. One-third is done, two-thirds are still left and so we are very happy for this prediction.'

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh retorted, emphasizing that the 'one-third' label pertains not to tenure but to Modi's diminished legitimacy and dependency on allies for political survival. As the 2024 general elections approach, the debate highlights the increasing political rhetoric as both parties position themselves for the upcoming battle.
