Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday wrapped up his campaign for a second term in the national elections, predicted his return as prime minister at a joint press conference that he addressed with BJP president Amit Shah. Shah echoed Prime Minister Modi who had earlier in the day predicted 300 plus seats for the party. I have faith that the mandate for the Modi government this time would be far bigger,” said Amit Shah. Rahul Gandhi, whose press conference coincided with Amit Shah’s briefing, described PM Modi’s presence at the media briefing “unprecedented” and nudged journalists to ask the prime minister about the Rafale deal. Amit Shah, who took the question, rejected the allegation of wrong doing in the deal.
