On Tuesday (2nd July), Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the opposition on a range of issues including the opposition leaders’ controversial remarks on Hindu Dharma, corruption, appeasement, Congress and its ecosystem, etc.
Addressing Lok Sabha, PM Modi said, “In ten years, our government has worked with the philosophy of Sabka Sath, and Sabka Vikas to do public welfare. We are dedicated to those principles which are enshrined in our constitution – Sarva Pant Sambhav. Our nation, for a long time, witnessed the politics of appeasement, the governance model of tushtikaran (appeasement). We have moved ahead with the idea of Santushtikaran not tushtikaran, politics of saturation than appeasement.”

“Saturation in the true sense is social justice and secularism and by electing us for the third time, they have put a stamp on this. Appeasement has wrecked the nation.

People have given mandate to yet again keep the Congress in opposition
People have given the mandate to Congress that they should sit there in the opposition and shout, and scream when they don’t have facts and logic, PM Modi said while slamming the Congress party for its conduct in the Parliament. On several occasions, PM Modi took a dig at Congress leader and recently elected Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi with a ‘bacha buddhi’ (immature baby mind) jibe. He gave the example of an adult consoling a child to explain why Congress and its ecosystem have been peddling sympathetic narrative in support of Rahul Gandhi despite this being the third worst performance of the Congress party, in its history.
After 1984, there have been ten Lok Sabha elections since then yet Congress has not ever touched the 250-mark. This time, they got caught in the 99 mark. PM Modi takes a dig at Rahul Gandhi says who will make ‘balak buddhi’ that he got 99 out of 543 not from 100 marks
