PM MODI
Rahul Gandhi’s arrow has hit the right spot, quipped Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel as Prime Minister Narendra Modi uttered a two-hour-long speech in the Lok Sabha”. PM Modi delivered a two-hour speech on Tuesday, replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in Lok Sabha. PM Modi mocked Congress Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in his speech. He further talked about the Emergency and NEET Exam debacle.
“Hindu religion is non-violent and PM Modi is continuously speaking lies. I Have heard PM Modi’s today’s speech and it showed that he has gone crazy,” Baghel added.
Congress leader Supriya Shrinate took a dig at PM Modi for continuing his speech despite reports of Hathras stampede emerging, where 107 people lost their lives, and said, “I was hoping that the PM would have got prior information and he would have cut short his 2 hour and 14-minute-long statement. But he refused to do so”.
Congress party’s MP from Amethi KL Sharma said, “It is just a repetition of speech, there was nothing new. He didn’t say anything on the issues raised by Congress.”
Congress party’s INDIA bloc ally Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav said, “What should have found a mention in the (PM’s) speech today… there is no clear stand of the government on doubling farmers’ income.”
Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal flagged that the prime minister failed to talk about his country people. The Akali Dal MP said, “Maximum part of his speech was aimed at one person. For around two hours, he (PM Modi) only talked about Rahul Gandhi. Who will talk about the country in such cases? Rahul Gandhi speaks about Narendra Modi and vice versa. Who is talking about the countrymen? The nation wanted to hear about their vision regarding unemployment, farmers’ issues and high inflation.”
Further, Congress MP Manish Tewari said, “… The Prime Minister did not speak about China, the terror attacks in Jammu, about the flaws in implementation of the criminal laws, and therefore there was nothing of substance in the Prime Minister’s speech.”

PM Modi likely to address Rajya Sabha today, a day after his Lok Sabha speech amid uproar by Opposition
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to speak in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, a day after his two-hour long address in Lok Sabha. While the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die after PM’s speech on July 2, the Rajya Sabha will on July 3 continue the debate on the motion of thanks on the last week’s President’s Address to both Houses of Parliament.
Heated exchanges between the ruling and opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) are expected in the Rajya Sabha during PM Modi’s address on Wednesday. The opposition MPs kept shouting slogans throughout PM’s speech in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
PM Modi continued his speech in Lok Sabha amid chants of ‘Justice for Manipur’ and ‘Bharat Jodo’ by the opposition members. The PM accused the Congress and its ‘ecosystem’ of insulting Hindus and plotting a ‘conspiracy’ to falsely claim Hindus were violent.
The Prime Minister urged Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to take strict action against what happened Monday which he said was a ‘slap on the wisdom of our people and our great national traditions.’ The Prime Minister, without naming Rahul Gandhi, was referring to Leader of Opposition’s (LoP) speech in Lok Sabha on July 1 in which he launched a scathing attack on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for an alleged ‘assault’ on the idea of India.
