Prime Minister Narendra Modi on ecosystem working against the country | "...'Aisi kisi rukawato se na Modi darne wala hai, na yeh Sarakaar darne wali hai'...When you gave me the opportunity to serve as the Prime Minister in the Lok Sabha for the first time, I had to face a similar challenge. I had to face a similar challenge in the Rajya Sabha and that is why now I have become very strong. My courage is strong, my voice is strong and my resolve is also strong...In 2014, when our strength in the Rajya Sabha was very low and even the Chair was slightly inclined towards the other side, but we did not give up on serving the country with our heads held high..."

During his address in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed profound grief over the tragic stampede at Phulrai village near Mandi of Sikandrarau in Hathras district. The incident, which occurred during the conclusion of Bhole Baba's satsang, has resulted in the deaths of over 50 people, mostly women and children. Reports indicate that bodies of 27 victims have been transported to Etah Medical College.

The stampede is believed to have been triggered by overcrowding during the religious event, as confirmed by SHO Ashish Kumar of Sikandra Rao police station. A team comprising the Agra additional director general of police and the divisional commissioner of Aligarh has been tasked with investigating the incident, according to officials.

Prime Minister Modi offered condolences to the families of the victims and assured that the government is closely monitoring the situation.

In a strong rebuke during his address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the 50th year of Emergency, attributing its imposition to the dictatorial mentality of those in power. He criticized Congress for arrogance, toppling governments, and suppressing media, which he claimed went against the spirit of the Constitution. Modi also accused Congress of historical injustices against Dalits and backward communities, referencing Baba Saheb Ambedkar's resignation from Nehru's cabinet due to alleged anti-Dalit and anti-backward sentiments within the party.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed concerns over protests related to NEET across the country, stating, "Arrests are being made across the country over NEET. The Centre has already made a law. Necessary steps are being taken."

In a fiery speech in Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the opposition of spreading falsehoods on various issues including EVMs, the Constitution, and reservation policies. Modi asserted, "Lies regarding EVM... lies regarding Constitution... lies regarding reservation... before that, lies regarding Rafale, HAL, LIC, banks... They even had the courage to mislead the House yesterday. They told lies regarding Agniveer. They said that MSP is not being given."

In his response to the Motion of Thanks on President's Address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress party for what he termed as spreading division and anarchy across the nation. Modi remarked, "This is the nation's bad luck that Congress, which ruled for six decades, is busy spreading anarchy. They go to South and speak against people of North; they speak against South when they go to North. They have made all possible attempts to create a divide on the basis of language. The leaders who advocated separation of a part of the country, they were given Parliament ticket by the Congress."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the Lok Sabha, drew parallels between the Congress party and the character "Mausi" from the film Sholay. Mocking the Congress's recent remarks, Modi said, "The remarks by Congress leaders have surpassed even the dialogues from the film Sholay. You all must remember the 'Mausi' from Sholay..." He cautioned the Congress against suppressing the electoral mandate by prematurely celebrating what he termed as a "fake victory."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the Lok Sabha, pointed out Rahul Gandhi's legal troubles, stating that the Congress leader is currently out on bail in a corruption case, convicted for insulting the OBC community, and facing multiple defamation cases. Modi highlighted these issues as part of his speech, underscoring the legal challenges faced by Gandhi amidst ongoing political debates.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recounted an anecdote during his speech, illustrating it with a story of a boy who celebrated scoring 99 marks. He explained that while many praised the achievement, a teacher clarified that the score was out of 543, not 100. Modi used this analogy to highlight the disparity between perception and reality, suggesting that sometimes achievements can be misconstrued and need proper context to be understood.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress party of actively promoting divisive narratives and schemes that pit one caste against another. During his address, Modi highlighted that certain groups openly threatened to incite unrest and chaos if their desired outcomes were not met, with plans to disrupt peace on June 4th. He condemned these actions, asserting that fostering disorder and destabilization is their primary agenda.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Opposition during his speech in the Lok Sabha, accusing the Congress and its allies of attempting to create an impression that they have successfully defeated his government and its policies.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked in the Lok Sabha that the Congress party has failed to secure more than 100 seats in elections for three consecutive terms. This statement came during his address in Parliament, underscoring the electoral challenges faced by the Congress party in recent years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored the significance of the mandate for stability and continuity bestowed upon his government by the people during his address in the Lok Sabha. He also pointed out the unprecedented success of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the recent state elections across four states.

"In the recent state elections, the NDA achieved unprecedented success, reflecting the people's endorsement for stability and continuity," PM Modi remarked during his speech in the Lok Sabha. He highlighted the electoral victories as a reaffirmation of public trust and support for the government's policies and initiatives.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflected on the transformative journey since 2014, highlighting how the phrase "Iss desh ka kuch nahi ho sakta" (Nothing can happen in this country) had once pervaded the nation's psyche with despair. He credited the people of India for electing his government, which marked the beginning of a new era of change and hope.

"In the last 10 years, my government has achieved numerous successes, but one standout achievement was pulling the country out of despair and instilling hope and self-confidence," PM Modi stated. He emphasized that this achievement had unified the nation and bolstered belief in the possibility of achieving anything.

"People who used to doubt the country's potential before 2014 are now saying that everything is possible here. We have worked to instill this confidence," PM Modi affirmed, highlighting the shift in national sentiment towards optimism and belief in India's capabilities.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the Lok Sabha, unveiled ambitious plans for housing and development, stating that his government had already constructed 4 crore houses for the poor and aims to build an additional 3 crore homes to ensure every citizen has a residence.

He further pledged to accelerate the pace of development in his third term, asserting a commitment to work with triple the vigor and efficiency to achieve three times more impactful results across various sectors.

PM Modi took a swipe at the opposition parties, accusing them of failing to implement the Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir and disrespecting BR Ambedkar. "There was a time before 2014 when terrorists could come and attack wherever they wanted. Innocent people were killed, every corner of India was targeted and the governments used to sit quietly. 2014 ke baad ka Hindustan ghar mein ghus kar maarta hain...," said PM.

PM Modi reflected on the significant changes since 2014, stating that the country was in despair before his government took office. PM Modi said, "If we remember those days of 2014, we will realise that the people of our country had lost their self-confidence. The country had drowned in the abyss of despair. At such a time, before 2014, the biggest loss that the country had suffered was the loss of self-confidence of the countrymen and when trust and self-confidence are lost, it becomes difficult for the person, the society, the country to stand up. For some time, it used to come out from the mouth of a common man that 'nothing can happen to this country'. These words of frustration of Indians had become a kind of identity. For some time, when we used to open the newspaper every day, we used to read only news of scams..."

PM Modi reaffirmed the government's dedication to achieving 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India), promising unwavering, honest, and committed efforts during his speech in the Lok Sabha.

"We sought people's blessings in these (Lok Sabha) elections to fulfil our 'sankalp' of 'Viksit Bharat'. The public strengthened the resolve of 'Viksit Bharat' and helped us win, giving us another chance to serve them. When a country is 'viksit' (developed), the dreams of thousands get fulfilled. When a country is 'viksit' (developed), it helps in fulfilling the dreams of our future generation," said PM Modi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored a policy shift away from appeasement politics, stating, "The country has witnessed appeasement politics for a long time. We have pursued 'santushtikaran' (satisfaction) not 'tushtikaran' (appeasement). Our approach is justice for all, appeasement for none," during his address in the Lok Sabha.

"The country has crossed a successful election campaign and showed the world that this was the world's biggest election campaign, in which people of the country have chosen us. I can understand the pain of some people that despite speaking lies, they faced crushing defeat," says PM Modi in reply to the Motion of Thanks on President's Address amid sloganeering by the opposition.
