Replying to the Motion of Thanks in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi the NDA-led central government has brought 25 crore Indians out of poverty. He also accused the Congress of only using “Gareebi Hatao” slogan for political benefits.
Here are the top quotes from the PM's adress in Lok Sabha.
• Yesterday and today, all the honourable members expressed their views on Motion of Thanks. It is natural and a tradition of democracy, there was praise where required and some negative things were also said where there was some problem..."
•All the studies have said this time and again that in the past 10 years, people gave us the opportunity to serve them, and 25 crore countrymen defeated poverty and came out of it. When we have heard 'Gareebi Hatao' slogan for five decades and then 25 crore people came out of poverty... this has not happened just like that. This happens when we sacrifice our lives for poor in a planned manner
•We did not give false slogans, but true development to people
•President's address to Parliament strengthens resolve of Viksit Bharat, gives new hope and inspires people
•The NDA government built over 4 crore houses and 12 crore toilets for the people below the poverty line. During rains, it becomes difficult to live under a temporary roof. We have given 4 crore houses to them
•Talk on social media about leaders focussed on jacuzzi, stylish showers, but our focus on providing water to every home
• Those who resort to photo sessions in huts of poor will find talk about poor in Parliament boring
• A PM was there in our country who identified one problem and said that when One Rupee was sent from Delhi, only 15 paise reached the bottom...who was getting the 15 paise this everyone can understand...at that time there was only party from the panchayat level to the central level...We tried to find a solution, and our model is 'Bhachat bhi Vikas bhi''Janata ka janata ke kaam'...we made..."
• We used money to build nation rather than building 'Sheeshmahal'
• Earlier, the headlines of the newspapers used to be related to scams and corruption. 10 years have passed crores of rupees have been saved which has been used for the public.
