After Mallikarjun Kharge's speech and Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee's statement came, Narendra Modi said in the Rajya Sabha that it is certain that the Congress will not cross 40 seats in the next election. The Prime Minister also quipped that he will pray for Congress to get at least 40 seats.
