Will Mr. Modi step down as PM if BJP individual tally reduced to 260 seats in Lok Sabha but NDA has a whole win majority?

No chance of Modi stepping down as PM if BJP's individual tally gets reduced to 260 seats in Lok Sabha but NDA as a whole wins the majority. People know how BJP formed the government in Karnataka, MP, and Maharashtra through the back door. It will do everything possible on earth to get the majority on its own. I believe all kinds of permutations and combinations have already been worked out and strategies are ready for who all would be bought out and who all could be convinced to resign. Or maybe some members of opposition parties will be persuaded to abstain from voting during the floor test. Supposed BJP doesn’t get the majority on its own and win around 260 seats, then Mamata and Naveen Patnaik may be persuaded to abstain from voting during the floor test. Even Jagan may be persuaded to abstain from voting.

And once the BJP proves its majority and passes the floor test, it will have enough time to manage the number. Another technique that can be applied is that around 30-odd newly elected MPs may be convinced to resign from their party (by paying a hefty amount). The house strength will automatically come down and BJP will have the majority even with 260 MPs. I am sure all these kinds of fieldwork have already been completed and candidates identified for making the deal. I will not be surprised if some kind of advance talk already started. Plus ED/CBI/IT department must have ordered to make files of all major opposition candidates ready. In fact they may be already instructed to start preliminary investigations to send alerts to these candidates that they better toe to BJP dictates if it comes to that.

J P Nadda is a brilliant under-surface tactician and strategist. He will have all his planning and groundwork ready with plans A, B, and C ready. BJP has huge financial resources to do anything it wants. Uddhav Thackeray was a mute spectator when one by one 40 plus Shiv Sena MLAs were hijacked from Mumbai right under his nose. What surprised me was that he didn’t once try to stop them. I can not digest that the Shiv Sena supremo is so helpless. Was there a game in it? By any mistake do you expect Modi to sit and watch if BJP doesn’t get the majority? We will be getting the exit poll results on 1st June. BJP must have already in its possession phase-wise immediately after each phase. So it is 15–30 days ahead of others in planning, which is a big advantage in such a battle.
