New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor mocked the BJP on Friday following the Labour Party’s landslide victory in the UK general elections, quipping that “ab ki baar, 400 paar” finally happened, but in another country. BJP leaders had previously predicted winning over 370 seats, with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) crossing 400 seats in India’s Lok Sabha elections. However, in the recent polls, the BJP won 240 seats, falling short of a majority, while the NDA secured 293 seats, enough for a mandate.
