With less than 20 days left for Counting Day on June 4, the numbers game has already begun among top politicians. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that the June 4 verdict seems to be quite clear. He said, neither the Congress nor any opposition party can muster enough strength to lay claim to the post of Leader of Opposition (55 seats). Modi said, that opposition leaders have realized this and that is why there is a proposal to merge some parties in Congress. Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday emphatically said, the Modi-led NDA will lose on June 4 and the INDIA alliance will form the government. Kharge said he is ready to place a wager that BJP would not even win 200 seats this time, forget crossing the threshold of 400 seats. OPINION | TRUTH BEHIND OPPOSITION CLAIMS OF MODI’S DEFEAT
