When the PM speaks, he is a treat to listen! At his speech in Lok Sabha, Modi tore apart the opposition, putting across some pertinent points and proving why his govt is working at a brisk pace
Bengaluru: With his characteristic aplomb, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dismantled the opposition during his speech at the Lok Sabha on Thursday (February 6).
The first leader who was at the receiving end was former AICC chief Rahul Gandhi.
He said, "I was hearing the remark made by one of the Congress leaders that I will be lathi-charged within a few months. I have been ‘Gaali proof’ after hearing so much abuse.

He said, “Stand up India, Start up India, Mudra- they are adding prosperity in the lives of many. Substantial number of the Mudra beneficiaries are women.”

Underlining the importance of solving problems in the country, the PM added, “India can no longer wait for problems to remain unsolved. And, rightfully so. That is why, our aim is speed and scale, determination and decisiveness.”
On the issues of setting up of Ram Mandir trust and other such issues, he said, “If we worked as per the old ways, Ram Janmabhoomi issue would have remained unsolved, Kartarpur Sahib corridor would not be a reality, there would be no India-Bangladesh land agreement.”
He also said, “Had we walked on your path, abrogation of Article 370, ban on triple talaq would not have been possible.”
However, the hardest punch had been reserved for the last. And it was Rahul Gandhi who received it!
