Another senior leader Kamal Nath said “the President's speech is enunciation of dreams and hopes which we have seen in the market place for last three months”.
“The next couple of months will determine how much on course is the government to make these dreams and hopes into a reality,” he told reporters outside Parliament House.
The government today announced a slew of measures to push growth and create jobs, which will include encouraging investment and creating a predictable, transparent and fair environment.
Addressing the first joint sitting of Parliament after the recent Lok Sabha election, Mukherjee said the Modi government will initiate a series of social, healthcare and infrastructure programmes while asserting that there will be “zero tolerance” towards terrorism and extremism, besides violence against women.
