Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the Parliament.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi replied to the motion of thanks on president's speech in Lok Sabha. He said people voted for us after testing on every parameter. This Lok Sabha elections have shown that more than themselves, the people of India are thinking about the betterment of the country, this spirit is commendable.
Here are the highlights of the PM Modi speech in the Parliament:
Each And Every Citizen Has Worked For India's Progress
There are some people who feel only a few names contributed to national progress. They only want to hear those few names and ignore the others. We think differently, we feel each and every citizen has worked for India's progress. Did those in power from 2004 to 2014 ever talk about the good work of Atal Ji? Did they ever speak about the good work of Narasimha Rao Ji? In this Lok Sabha debate the same people did not even speak of Manmohan Singh Ji.
The people of India have elected a stable Government. The 2019 Lok Sabha elections show that more than themselves, the people of India are thinking about the good of the nation. This spirit is wonderful. In 2014, the nation had chosen us as an experiment. But in 2019, the people who reign supreme in democracy have reposed their faith in us after evaluating our performance. There is no greater satisfaction than being rewarded on the basis of your work.
In 2014, I said my government will be dedicated to the poor. We developed such a culture in the country that the common man had to compromise with basic needs.
