India

Highlights of his speech:
I urge all parties to reject the motion that has been moved in the House
Today the nation has seen the negativity expressed by some members. India saw how some people are so deeply opposed to development
If you were not prepared for the debate why did you bring the motion? Why were you trying to delay the motion?
To remove one Modi, see who all they are trying to bring together
We are here because we have the blessings of 125 crore Indians. We are not here for selfish interests
We have served the nation with the Mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas
Our government has the honour of working towards the electrification of 18,000 villages that were in the dark for 70 years. Most of these villages were situated in Eastern India and the Northeast
Our Government has opened bank accounts for the poor. Earlier, the doors of the banks never opened for the poor. Women are leading a smoke-free life due to Ujjwala Yojana. Toilets have been constructed across India at a record pace
It is this Government that is bringing a programme like Ayushman Bharat that will give top quality healthcare to the poor
The decision of neem-coated urea has helped the farmers of India
The Indian economy is being strengthened and India is also strengthening the global economy
The fight against Black Money is going to continue. I know I have made many enemies due to this but it is fine
I hope you have enough strength to bring another motion in 2024.
Those questioning us were meeting Chinese diplomats.
Due to one careless allegation in the House on Rafale, both nations had to release statements
Those questioning us were meeting Chinese diplomats.
Bad language was used against Defence Minister
You called the surgical strike a Jumla Strike. You can abuse me as much as you want. Stop insulting the Jawans of India. I will not tolerate this insult to our armed forces.
I read a statement- "who says we do not have the numbers."
Congress has commited so many sins to destabilise governments. It has betrayed everyone - Mulayam Singh, Deve Gowda.
What did the Congress do to Charan Singh Ji, what did they do to Chandra Shekhar Ji, what did they do to Deve Gowda Ji, what did they do to IK Gujral Ji
Two times the Congress was involved in buying votes with the power of notes
I was reminded about 1999 the she stood outside Rashtrapati Bhavan and said- we have 272 and more are joining us. She destabilised Atal Ji's Government and never formed one herself
The entire nation saw what the eyes did today. It is clear in front of everyone
Atal Ji created 3 states- Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
It was done peacefully. These states are prospering.
The Congress divided Andhra Pradesh and their conduct then was shameful.
NDA Government is committed towards the development of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
Just because of your internal politics with the YSRCP you are doing this, I had told the AP CM
I want to tell the people of Andhra Pradesh that we will keep working for them. We will do everything possible for the development of AP.
I want to tell you about the NPA problem. Much before Internet Banking, Congress Party invented Phone Banking and this caused the NPA mess. A phone call would get loans for their cronies and the nation suffered.
This Government stands with the Muslim women in their quest for justice.
