Parliament Session: In the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi fiercely targeted the opposition and presented the achievements of his government with great confidence. His sharp arguments and clear thoughts heated up the atmosphere of the House. BJP MPs supported the Prime Minister's speech by clapping and thumping the desks, while the opposition had to face counter-attacks.The country's rapidly growing economyPrime Minister Modi started his speech with the country's economic progress. He said, "India is developing rapidly today. Very soon we will become the third largest economy in the world. By the centenary of independence, our country will stand as a developed nation. This is the dream of all of us countrymen."India: Mother of DemocracyReferring to India's ancient democratic history, PM Modi said that the Constitution makers were aware that India's democracy did not start from 1950, but it is the result of a journey of thousands of years. He said proudly, "We are the mother of democracy. This is the reason why today India is known as the 'Mother of Democracy'."Government dedicated to women powerThe Prime Minister, while emphasizing on the women-centric policies of his government, said, "We have taken many historic steps for women empowerment. By passing the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, we ensured women participation. Today, women are at the center of every scheme. It is a symbol of the power of our Constitution that a tribal woman is sitting on the post of President of the country."Congress's mistakes against the ConstitutionPM Modi, while attacking the Congress, said, "After the independence of the country, the constitution makers emphasized on unity, but some people made the diversity in the country a contradiction. Congress repeatedly hurt the basic spirit of the Constitution. During the Emergency, the country was turned into a prison and the freedom of the press was locked. This is such a sin on the forehead of the Congress, which will never be washed away."Article 370 and reforms symbolizing unityThe Prime Minister called the removal of Article 370 a historic achievement. He said, "Article 370 was a wall in the unity of the country. By removing it, we strengthened the integrity of the country. Policies like One Nation, One Tax (GST), One Nation, One Ration Card, and One Nation, One Health Card are also our efforts in this direction."Constitution amendment and reservationPM Modi said that his government amended the Constitution and made provision for 10% reservation for the economically weaker section. Apart from this, the Constitution was further strengthened by making special provisions for women. He stressed, "We removed Article 370 and the Supreme Court also validated it. This is a victory of our Constitution."Sharp attack on CongressThe Prime Minister took a dig at the Congress and said, "Congress leaders love the word 'jumla', but history is witness that it is the Congress that has strangled democracy. In 1971, the Constitution was amended to overturn the Supreme Court's decision and the independence of the court was attacked. This shows that the Congress has repeatedly weakened democracy and the Constitution."Example of the power of the ConstitutionAt the end of his speech, PM Modi said, "It is the power of the Constitution that I, a member of a simple family, could reach here. The people of the country gave us affection three times, which was possible due to our democracy and Constitution. A family of Congress always tried to harm the Constitution, but the people of the country stood firmly with the Constitution and saved it every time."ConclusionThis speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only underlines the achievements of his government, but also gives a tough challenge to the opposition. He highlighted India's progress and the shortcomings of the opposition by emphasizing on topics like democracy, development, and women empowerment. This speech is a strong testimony to the direction and vision of the government.
