Prime minister Narendra Modi's assertion of securing '370' seats in the upcoming elections carries a profound historical and emotional significance deeply rooted in the political ethos of the bharatiya janata party (BJP). The number '370' is a symbolic tribute to Shyama prasad Mukherjee, the founding leader of the Jana Sangh, the predecessor of the BJP.
Shyama prasad Mukherjee played a pivotal role in advocating for the abrogation of article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. His relentless struggle against dual ideologies within one nation, opposing the presence of a separate flag and prime minister for a state, culminated in his opposition to the existence of two constitutions, two prime ministers, and two national flags within one country.

PM Modi's reference to securing '370' seats serves as both an homage to Shyama prasad Mukherjee's legacy and a symbolic pledge to continue fulfilling the ideals championed by the founding leader. The number '370' carries emotional resonance, signifying the commitment to the cause and the BJP's dedication to the principles enshrined by its founding leaders.
It reflects the party's readiness to project the abrogation of article 370 as a significant electoral issue, alongside the anticipated benefits from the ram Temple's inauguration in Ayodhya. The combination of these sentiments aims to inspire bjp workers and resonate with voters in the upcoming elections.
