Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the budget session of Parliament.
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi while replying to the debate on Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in Lok Sabha current budget session of Parliament, said there is a new world order after the COVID-19 pandemic. “India should emerge as a world leader. We are being recognized as a leader,” he said.
He also launched a scathing attack on the opposition, accusing them of spreading Covid by instigating migrant workers to leave the cities during the first wave of the pandemic.
Here are the top quotes from PM Modi’s address:
- There is a new world order after the COVID-19 pandemic. We are being recognized as a leader. India should play the role of global leadership. This is a turning point and we should not miss this opportunity.
- It has become a status symbol when a poor person gets a gas connection at his house. The poor also have bank accounts. The government’s money reaches their account directly – all this will be visible if you are grounded and live among the public. But unfortunately in 2014 the mind of some people (opposition) is still stuck.
- On Congress: Even after so much loss, your ego remains and your ecosystem does not let it go. The question is not of the election result, but the intention of those who have been in power for so long. Wherever people found their way, they did not allow you to enter again. Don’t show them the mirror, they will also break the mirror. Criticism is the jewel of democracy. But superstition is an insult to democracy
- On COVID-19: They felt that perhaps this country would never be able to save itself or would not be able to fight such a big battle (on Kovid). Today India has completed 100% first dose vaccination and 80% second dose. Corona also used for politics – is it good for humanity?
- In the time of Coronavirus, Congress has crossed all limits. When experts advised you to stay where you are, Congress encouraged migrant labourers. During the first wave you (Congress) gave free train tickets to migrant workers to leave Mumbai. At the same time, the Delhi government asked the migrant workers to leave the city and provided them with buses. As a result, COVID spread rapidly in Punjab, UP and Uttarakhand.
- Coronavirus is a global pandemic, but some have also misused it for political gains. Some people thought that Kovid would damage Modi’s image. I think you use Gandhi’s name to humiliate others. If I talk about ‘Vocal for Local’ then you ignore it. don’t you want india to be self-reliant, You don’t want to see Gandhi’s dreams come true.
- You can oppose me, but why are you (Congress) opposing the Fit India Movement and other schemes? Who is not proud of yoga? You made fun of it too. No wonder you were voted in many states many years ago… I think you have made up your mind not to come to power for the next 100 years.
- The country did not let anyone die during the pandemic. More than 80 crores got free ration, today India is the fastest growing economy in the world. Our total exports are at their highest level and that too during covid.
- On farmers: The country took a big decision to save small farmers from difficulties during the pandemic. India took the entire burden on itself and did not let it fall on the farmers. Those who hate small farmers have no right to do politics in the name of farmers. Some people have not been able to change this mentality of slavery even after years of independence. Those who have lived in palaces all their lives do not care about small farmers.
- For you (opposition) files are important, for us the lives of 130 crore Indians are important. Rural roads have developed at the fastest rate in these 5 years after independence. Optical fiber work is in progress. These works will generate employment.
