Even as we discussed the No-Confidence Motion, there were important Bills pending for discussion for which the Opposition showed no interest. This is saddening. pic.twitter.com/4B9d2lA04y

“Opposition is hungry for power, and they don”t care about the hunger of the poor people”, Mr Modi said. He criticised the Congresses” idea of ‘reversing its fortune’ by changing the name from UPA (The United Progressive Alliance) to INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance). From ‘poll symbols to ideas’, Congress has ‘nothing as its own”, he added.
“By 2028, when the opposition brings another no-confidence motion against my government, India will be among the top three economies in the world”, PM Modi expressed confidence about the victory in the upcoming 2024 Parliament elections.
“Our focus should be on the development of the country. It is the need of the hour”, he said, entrusting the power of the youth of the nation.
The no-confidence motion is ‘politically-motivated’ to ‘mislead’ people and spread confusion, said the Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the parliament on Wednesday.
Mr Shah has also slammed the opposition by compiling the achievements of the union government, under PM Modi, in the past nine years.
