PM Modi Slams Opposition in Fiery Lok Sabha Speech
New Delhi, July 2, 2024 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the opposition during his speech in the Lok Sabha today, responding to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address. Amid continuous slogans and disruptions by the INDIA bloc MPs, PM Modi underscored the mandate given to the BJP by the people, contrasting the government’s policies with those of the previous Congress-led administrations.
Key Points from PM Modi’s Speech:
- Critique of Congress: PM Modi accused the Congress party of being destined to stay in the opposition, as their policies did not resonate with the electorate. He took specific aim at Rahul Gandhi, highlighting the opposition’s inability to garner significant support.
- Santushtikaran vs. Tushtikaran: Modi emphasized that the BJP government practices ‘santushtikaran’ (satisfaction for all) instead of ‘tushtikaran’ (appeasement). He reiterated the government’s commitment to justice for all, without any form of appeasement.
- Zero-Tolerance on Corruption: The Prime Minister reiterated the NDA’s zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, which he claimed was a significant reason for their electoral victories.
- Vision for 2047: PM Modi outlined his vision for a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India) by 2047, committing to work tirelessly towards this goal.
Opposition’s Reaction:
As PM Modi commenced his speech, opposition members started chanting “Justice for Manipur” and entered the Well of the House, disrupting the proceedings. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla intervened, reprimanding Rahul Gandhi for orchestrating the protest.
Despite the interruptions, PM Modi remained steadfast, delivering a speech that not only targeted the opposition but also set the tone for his government’s priorities moving forward.
