New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while answering the debate on the vote of thanks to the President’s speech in the Lok Sabha during the parliament’s ongoing budget session, said that there is a new world order after the COVID-19 pandemic. “India should emerge as a world leader. We are recognized as a leader,” he said.
He also launched a sharp attack on the opposition, accusing them of spreading Covid by forcing migrant workers to leave cities during the first wave of the pandemic.
Here are the Top Quotes from PM Modi’s address:
- There is a new world order after the COVID-19 pandemic. We are recognized as a leader. India must take on the global leadership role. It is a turning point and we must not miss this opportunity.
- It has become a status symbol when a poor person’s house gets a gas connection. Even the poor have a bank account. Government money goes straight into their account – if you are connected to the ground and live among the public then this would all be visible. But unfortunately some people (opposition) ghosts are still stuck in 2014
- At conference: Even after so many losses, your arrogance persists and your ecosystem won’t let go of it. The question is not about the election results, but about the intentions of those who have remained in power for so long. Wherever people were given a way out, they wouldn’t let you in. Don’t show them mirrors, they will break the mirrors too. Criticism is a jewel of democracy. but blind opposition in an affront to democracy
- About COVID-19: They thought that this country may never be able to save itself or fight such a big battle (about Covid). Today India achieves 100 percent first vaccination and 80 percent second dose completed. Corona was also used for politics – is it good for humanity?
- In the time of the coronavirus, Congress crossed all boundaries. When experts advised to stay where you are, Congress encouraged migrant workers. During the first wave, you (Congress) gave free train tickets to migrant workers to leave Mumbai. At the same time, the Delhi government ordered migrant workers to leave the city and provided buses. As a result, Covid quickly spread in Punjab, UP and Uttarakhand.
- The coronavirus is a global pandemic, but some have even misused it for political gain. Some thought that Covid would damage Modi’s image. I think to bring others down, you use Gandhi’s name. When I talk about ‘vocal for local’ you ignore that. Don’t want India to be? atmanirbhar? You don’t want Gandhi’s dreams to come true.
- You can oppose me, but why are you (congress) against the Fit India Movement and other plans? Who isn’t proud of yoga? You joked about it too. No wonder you were voted out in many states years ago… I think you’ve decided not to come to power for the next 100 years.
- The country didn’t let anyone die during the pandemic. More than 80 crore were given free ration. Today, India is the fastest growing economy in the world. Our total export is at its highest and that also during Covid.
- About farmers: During the pandemic, the country made a big decision to rescue small farmers from difficulties. India took on the whole burden and did not let it fall on the peasants. People who hate smallholder farmers have no right to do politics in the name of farmers. Some people have not been able to change this mindset of slavery even after years of independence. Those who have lived in palaces all their lives do not worry about small farmers.
- Files are important to you (opposition), to us lives of 130 crore Indians are important.
- About economics: During Covid, the Indian economy was the fastest growing in the world, farmers produced a record amount of food grains. Street vendors get bank loans for the first time and use digital transactions. In 2014 there were 500 start-ups, now more than 60,000.
- The congress has people who say that entrepreneurs are a variant of the corona virus. People who don’t learn from history get lost in history.
