‘PM Modi’s counting is wrong, crossed 110 insults long back’, says Congress; here’s what netizens say

The Congress party on Thursday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi who claimed that the opposition parties had abused him for the 104th time since the Lok Sabha elections 2024 were declared, and the latest insult came from Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut who called the PM “Aurangzeb”. 

Congress spokesperson Shantanu, while slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government, mocked PM Modi over his remark, stating that his counting was wrong and the opposition had crossed 110 insults long back.

Recently, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the general secretary of the All India Congress Committee, also made fun of PM Modi while addressing a public rally. She has said PM Modi is the first prime minister involved in his own agonies who keeps crying wherever he goes, and a movie should be made after him titled ‘Mere Naam’.

“Modi Ji keeps crying always for himself only. We should make a movie on him and name it as ‘Mere Naam’,” the Congress spokesperson quoted Priyanka Gandhi as saying.
