Abki Baar 400 Paar (Hindi: अबकी बार, 400 पार, lit. 'This time surpassing 400') was a Hindi slogan used by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The slogan sought to publicise the target by the ruling alliance, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), to win more than 400 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 general election^[1][2][3]. The BJP set the target for itself to win more than 370 seats.^[4] The last time a party or coalition won more than 400 seats in Lok Sabha was the Indian National Congress (Indira) party in the 1984 general elections due to a massive outpouring of public grief following the assassination of Indira Gandhi.

The BJP has used the slogan in earlier elections, such as the 2019 general election, albeit with various modifications. It now serves as both a rallying cry and a representation of the party's political goals for its adherents.^[5]

The national leadership of the party, including Prime Minister Modi, party president J P Nadda, and Home MinisterAmit Shah, have actively used the slogan while campaigning at political rallies.^[6][7][8]

Election analysts had said that the path for the BJP to achieve this goal would likely be by winning more seats in South & East India than in previous elections. At the same time, the BJP would also have to retain its dominant performance in North and West India.^[9] A number of theories had been postulated behind this motive. Many political analysts agree that BJP had raised this slogan in order to achieve the two-third supermajority in the Lok Sabha required to implement sweeping amendments to the Constitution, without any restrictions from its allies or opposition parties. For example, implementing simultaneous polls & nationwide abolition of personal laws of non-Hindus.^[10][11] Union Minister Ananthkumar Hegde had claimed that the BJP would utilise this supermajority to remove provisions of secularism, and replace Gandhian philosophy with Hindutva as the official ideology of the nation. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma had claimed that it will be utilised to recover Hindu holy sites desecrated by Muslims like Gyanvapi mosque and Krishna Janmasthan and to annex Pakistan-administered Kashmir.^[10][12] Other BJP leaders have also stated that they will utilise this supermajority to remove low-caste Muslims from the ambit of reservation.^[13][14]

The results of the election, declared on 4 July 2024, showed that the BJP could secure only 240 seats, 32 seats short of the majority. This led to the return of coalition politics in India after 10 years.
