When our army was fighting in Doklam, your leaders were meeting Chinese officials, PM Modi targets Cong

We have to create a new India. Let us work together to fulfil the dreams of the people, PM Modi concludes his speech in the Lok Sabha

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, says PM Modi

Is there any reason why LED bulbs were so expensive till 2014? It was affecting the middle class. The price of LED bulbs today are affordable, says PM Modi

I have to tell the entire nation about the NPA mess our previous government created, says PM Modi

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, says PM Modi

I know the Government's efforts to eliminate corruption & black money are 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, says PM Modi

India's middle class desires good education facilities, affordable housing, good infrastructure. They want 'Ease of Living' which we are committed to providing, says PM

When I dream of a ‘New India’ by 2022 when India celebrates 75 years of independence, you mock this idea because you have never thought big to achieve big goals, says PM Modi

When the corrupt and middlemen are out of work, obviously the Congress will be unhappy, says PM

When our Government took office in 2014, the chorus from the opposition was - Modi will scrap it but when we made Aadhaar more effective in terms of enabling better and effective service delivery, suddenly the opposition began opposing Aadhaar, says PM

Our government had the opportunity to prepare an aviation policy that focuses on smaller cities, towns so that more Indians can fly, says PM Modi

Employment is increasing but you have closed your eyes as you are busy singing your songs. Atal ji ne kaha hai ‘chhote Mann se koi bada nahi hota aur toote Mann se koi khada nahi hota’. A government that talked about 21st century could not bring an aviation policy. Then what kind of a 21st century did they talk about, the one with bullock carts, says PM Modi

The governments of West Bengal, Karnataka, Odisha and Kerala where BJP or NDA is not in power have claimed with data that they have given 1 crore jobs in the last 3-4 years. Will you dispute their claims too, asks PM Modi

I can see the energy and enthusiasm in our youth. They want to do something on their own, they want to launch their own start-ups. Our Government is giving wings to the aspirations of India's middle class, says PM

Your party leader (Rahul Gandhi) called a press conference and tore apart an order of your cabinet. How can you talk of democracy with such subjugation to only a family, asks PM

The way people of Rajasthan were misled about the Barmer refinery was appalling. Just for votes, lies were said. It is in the last three years that the Government of India and the Rajasthan Government worked together to sort out the pending issues, says PM Modi

Since Kharge Ji spoke about railways and Karnataka, let me tell the truth about the Bidar-Kalburgi rail line. The project was approved by the Vajpayee Government and from 2004 till 2013 nothing was done. It is when a Government under BS Yeddyurappa gave approvals work could begin, says PM Modi

More villages are getting optical fibre network in the last three years than they got previously. This is the transformation happening, says PM Modi

This attempt to muzzle my voice will fail, says PM Modi on Opposition's loud protest in Lok Sabha 

If Sardar Patel was made the first Prime Minister of India as he was democratically elected by Congress working committees, a part of our Kashmir would not have been occupied by Pakistan, says PM Modi

The NDA Government has changed the work culture in the nation. Projects are not only thought about well but also executed in a timely manner. The NDA government is building more roads than the previous one. We have given a strong boost to the infrastructure sector across the nation, says PM Modi

In December, did we witness an 'election' or coronation for the post of Congress President? One youngster raised his voice about this as well, says PM Modi on Rahul Gandhi's elevation as Congress President 

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, says PM Modi

How did the Congress act in Kerala, how did they treat the AkaliDal 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, says PM Modi

When Rajiv Gandhi landed in Hyderabad, how did he behave with a Congress leader T Anjaiah. He humiliated a big leader, who did not belong to a privileged background, says PM 

India did not get democracy due to Pandit Nehru, as Congress wants us to believe. Please look at our rich history. There are many examples of rich democratic traditions that date back centuries ago. Democracy is integral to this nation and is in our culture, says PM Modi

Opposition has the right to protest but not disrupt, says PM in Lok Sabha amidst continuous pandemonium

You were ruling from Panchayat to Parliament. But your party spent entire time praising one family, says PM Modi attacks Congress

The nation is paying for your sins, PM Modi blasts Congress 

Congress just serves one family, says PM Modi

Opposition's loud slogans of 'jhutha bhashan bandh karo', 'jhuthe ashwasan bandh karo' continue as PM Modi speaks

Congress divided the country, says PM Modi. 

When we speak about creating new states, we remember the manner in which Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji created Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. He showed how farsighted decision making is done

Congress divided Andhra in hurry, says PM Modi

Opposition leaders are shouting slogans like ‘dhokebaazi band karo’, ‘humare maangi poori karo’ 

Amid loud protests by the Opposition, PM Modi has begun his speech in the Lok Sabha.
