Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at the Congress during a session in the Rajya Sabha, echoing Mamata Banerjee's recent doubt about Congress winning even 40 seats in the upcoming general elections. Modi playfully commented, "I pray you can save at least 40 seats," referring to Mamata Banerjee's earlier remark. The Congress, facing setbacks in recent elections, has been engaged in seat-sharing talks with the Trinamool Congress, but the relations between the two are strained.
The challenged has come from West Bengal that the Congress will not be able to cross 40 (seats), Mr Modi chuckled to a soundtrack of BJP MPs thumping desks, "I pray you can save at least 40".
