Kharge's comment comes days after Prime Minister Modi formed a coalition government, which returned to national politics after a decade, for the first time.
Modi, who never led a coalition government neither at the state of centre, took oath for a rare third consecutive term on June 9.
The BJP, which had set 370 as its target, stopped at 240 seats, falling short of 32 from the majority mark.
Among various coalition partners, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) have the lion's share with 16 and 12 seats respectively.
The Opposition alliance- titled INDIA- could win 234 seats.
