I underscored Modi’s supreme confidence in his ability to win the battle by himself, with the BJP and the NDA merely applauding from the sidelines. PM Modi exuded confidence in responding to the motion of thanks for the president’s address in the previous session of parliament. Not only would the BJP and the NDA cross past majorities, but the former would win 370 seats out of an NDA tally of 400, he claimed. So does PM Modi, who suddenly finds himself with not even a majority for his party. The expectation was that Modi 3.0 would be a seamless continuation of Modi 2.0, with the PM in a stronger position than ever before.
