“Challenges Challenges”: Ignoring the noise of the opposition, the PM said that the more mud you throw, the more the lotus will bloom. He said that the country is seeing how many people are being burdened by Modi alone.
Attack on Congress: The PM compared the last decades of Congress rule with the 12 years of his government’s tenure. He said that instead of ‘appeasement’ we have chosen the path of ‘saturation’, where the benefits of the schemes are reaching every eligible person without any discrimination.
Dignity of the House: The Prime Minister regretted that the opposition lacks arguments, hence they are only trying to disrupt the proceedings by making noise.
