NDA sails through no-confidence motion with voice vote##NDA sails through no-confidence motion with voice vote

The TDP sponsored no-confidence motion has been rejected with a voice vote in the Lok Sabha. Before the vote, PM Narendra Modi addressed the house and responded to various issues and accusation made during the day-long debate. Modi asked all Lok Sabha members to dismiss the non-confidence motion, which he said was driven by arrogance and Congress' attempt to test its own probable allies.

"Arrogance is behind the no confidence motion," Modi said and hit out at the Congress, saying this is not the floor test of the government but a "force" test of the main opposition party and its so-called allies.

Capping the over 10-hour debate marked with sharp attacks and counter-attacks between the ruling alliance and the opposition leaders, Modi asserted that some people are indulging in "negative" politics.

"We are not doing politics of appeasement or vote bank. We have been working with 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas' mantra," he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi blamed the Congress for spreading the web of non performing assets in the banking system, saying that loans were given over the phone during the Congress rule. Congress invented Phone banking much before internet banking and this cuased the NPA mess.

Modi also said that this government stands with the Muslim women in their quest for justice. On lynching incidents, Modi said, "any incident of violence brings shame to the nation. I will once again urge the state governments to punish those who indulge in violence."

I am not a Saudagar like you: PM Modi to Congress##I am not a Saudagar like you: PM Modi to Congress

Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues his speech in response to the opposition's no-confidence move in Lok Sabha. Here are the major highlights from his speech:

I am chowkidar, I am bhagidar also, but not a saudagar like you. We are bhagidar in people's sorrows. We share their dreams.

What did the Congress do to Charan Singh ji, what did they do to Chandra Shekhar ji, what did they do to Deve Gowda ji, what did they do to IK Gujral ji.

There is a conspiracy to push the country towards violence. They emotionally blackmail the have-nots to win elections. These were the people who made fun of Baba Ambedkar but are now singing his praises. Whoever came in front of the dreams and aspirations of one family was pushed to the sidelines.

Atal Ji created 3 states- Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. It was done peacefully. These states are now prospering. Congress divided Andhra Pradesh and their conduct then was shameful.

Govt respects the wishes of the people of Andhra Pradesh; Made a special assistance package for Andhra Pradesh equal to that of ‘special status.’ NDA Government is committed towards the development of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

When TDP was leaving NDA, I called up Chandrababu Naidu, warned him that you are falling into YSR Congress's trap.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues his speech in response to the opposition's no-confidence move in Lok Sabha. Here are the major highlights from his speech:

You called the surgical strike a Jumla Strike. You can abuse me as much as you want but stop insulting the Jawans of India. I will not tolerate this insult to our forces.

I had read a statement, "who says we don't have the numbers." Look at the arrogance. When in 1999 someone stood outside Rashtrapati Bhavan and said - we have 272 & more joining. Atal Ji's govt was destabalised and they never formed the govt.

The entire country saw what the eyes did today. It is clear in front of everyone. You are 'naamdar', I am only a 'kaamdar', how can I ever dare to see you eye to eye. I was born into a lower caste, in a poor family.

This no-confidence is Congress' nature. They have misused the motion to bring an atmosphere of political uncertainty in the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues his speech in response to the opposition's no-confidence move in Lok Sabha. Here are the major highlights from his speech:

MUDRA Yojana is fulfilling the dreams of so many youngsters. The decision of neem-coated urea has helped the farmers of India.

Congress has no faith in the Election Commission, Judiciary, in the RBI, in the International Agencies. They have confidence in nothing.

Indian economy is being strengthened & India is also strengthening the global economy.

The fight against Black Money is going to continue. I know I have made many enemies due to this but it is fine.

One of the leaders spoke about Doklam. The same leader, who believed the Chinese Ambassador over our forces. What have we come to? Everything does not merit a childish conduct.

PM says due to one careless allegation in the House on Rafale, both nations had to release statements. PM says appeal to the Congress to not bring politics into national security.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues his speech in response to the opposition's no-confidence move in Lok Sabha. Here are the major highlights from his speech:

We have served the nation with the Mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.'

We are here because we have the blessings of 125 crore Indians & not for selfish interests.

PM Modi says govt has worked towards the electrification of 18,000 villages that were in the dark for 70 years. Most of these villages were situated in Eastern India & the Northeast, he adds.

Toilets have been constructed across India at a record pace.

It is this Government that is bringing a scheme like Ayushman Bharat that will give best quality healthcare to the poor.

In the morning, the voting was not over, the debate was also not over one member comes running to me saying- Utho Utho Utho..What is his hurry to come to power? Let me tell this member it is the people who elected us. That is how we have come here.

This is not a floor test of the Government, this is a forced test of Congress's so called allies.

No confidence motion: Highlights of PM Modi's speech in Lok Sabha##No confidence motion: Highlights of PM Modi's speech in Lok Sabha

​

Prime Minister is responding on the opposition's no-confidence motion moved by the Telugu Desam Party and supported by other opposition parties, including the Congress.

Here are the main highlights of PM's speech:

I urge all parties to reject the motion that has been moved in the House.

India has a majority govt after 30 years; give it the trust it deserves.

Through this no confidence motion, the people of the country were able to see negative campaign against development and nefarious attempts around it.

If you were not prepared for the debate why did you bring the motion? Why were you trying to delay the motion.

What we saw among members of the Opposition was sheer arrogance. The only thing they have to say- remove Modi.

To remove one Modi, see who all they are trying to bring together.
