PM Modi on Wednesday took to address the members of the Lok Sabha in a post-budget session. In his address, Modi attacked the Congress in Parliament on their appeasement politics. In addition, he also told about how till 2014 the country watched the interest of one family being kept over the interests of the country.
He further added, “We work hard and have ushered in a paradigm shift in the working of the Government. Innovative projects are being thought about and completed in a time-bound manner.”
Modi’s influential address revolved around simultaneous elections, surgical strikes, yoga, apprehensions regarding Aadhaar, Bofors, Doklam, NPA, affordable housing, affordable LED’s, and Triple Talaq Bill. Here’s a quick recap of the top quotes from his speech in the Parliament.
- Let us have a constructive discussion on holding simultaneous Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections in the various states. We are working to ensure that every Indian has his or her own home.
- Look at what all you mocked- Swachh Bharat, Make in India, surgical strikes, Yoga Day. You are free to mock as you please but why are you blocking the bill for OBC Commission? Why are you blocking Triple Talaq Bill? Are you not sensitive to the aspirations of OBCs?
- You call us name changers….we are aim chasers.
- We want Mahatma Gandhi’s India. Even the Congress wants ‘Gandhi’s India.’ – the India of the Emergency, Bofors, Chopper scams.
- I fail to understand why some people feel bad when India improves its ease of business rankings.
- We are always looking for suggestions, feedback and input on our schemes. After all, we are working for the nation and the poor.
- The nation’s army was fighting in Doklam but leaders of one party preferred to meet Chinese officials. The same party questions the army on surgical strikes.
- Is there any reason why LED bulbs were so expensive until 2014? It was affecting the middle class. The price of LED bulbs today is affordable.
- I have to tell the entire nation about the NPA mess our previous Government created.
- The workings of our previous Government are responsible for the NPA mess. They are 100% responsible and nobody else. The banking policies of the previous Governments were not proper. Middlemen were happy, the country was suffering.
- I know the Government’s efforts to eliminate corruption & black money is hurting a select group of people. Today, people who served as Chief Ministers are in jail. However powerful one was, if one has been corrupt, that person will be punished. We are in an era of honesty.
- India’s middle class desires good education facilities, affordable housing, and good infrastructure. They want ‘Ease of Living’ which we are committed to providing.
- When our Government took office in 2014, the chorus from the opposition was – Modi will scrap UIDAI but when we made Aadhaar more effective in terms of enabling better and effective service delivery, suddenly the opposition began opposing Aadhaar.
- Our government had the opportunity to prepare an aviation policy that focuses on smaller cities, towns so that more Indians can fly.
- The NDA government is building more roads than the previous one. We have given a strong boost to the infrastructure sector across the nation.
- In December, did we witness an ‘election’ or coronation for the post of Congress President? One youngster raised his voice about this as well.
- We cannot forget how the Congress insulted Shri Neelam Sanjiva Reddy, a proud son of Andhra Pradesh. They humiliated him. Nobody in India needs lessons on democracy from the Congress Party.
- How did the Congress act in Kerala, how did they treat the Akali Dal in Punjab, how did they behave in Tamil Nadu? Why did Congress dismiss so many state governments at their will? This is no commitment to democracy.
- For decades, one party devoted all their energies to serving one family. The interests of the nation were looked over just for the interests of one family.
- Several members of Parliament expressed their thoughts on various subjects. The address by the Honorable President does not belong to any party. It is about the aspirations of every Indian.
