Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a fiery speech in the Lok Sabha, responding to the Motion of Thanks on President’s Address, as Delhi Elections 2024 loomed on the horizon. With sharp wit and cutting remarks, PM Modi took aim at the Opposition, particularly the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Let’s dive into the key highlights of his speech, where he didn’t hold back in expressing his views.
Photo Sessions in Huts of Poor: A Dig at Rahul Gandhi
One of the standout moments from PM Modi’s speech was when he took a jab at the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. Mocking those who engage in photo ops in the humble abodes of the underprivileged, PM Modi remarked, “…Those who have photo sessions in the huts of the poor, for their own entertainment, will find the mention of the poor in Parliament boring. I can understand their anger.”
This sly comment was in response to a cozy discussion between Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra after the President’s address. Rahul Gandhi’s query to Sonia Gandhi about the speech being “boring” set the stage for PM Modi’s pointed remarks.
AAP-da: A Playful Take on Political Promises
PM Modi didn’t spare Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP either, accusing certain political parties of deceiving the youth with unfulfilled promises. Employing a clever wordplay, he quipped, “These parties make promises during elections but do not fulfill them. These parties have fallen like a burden [AAP-da] on the future of the youth.”
This playful jab highlighted PM Modi’s stance on political accountability and transparency, resonating with a wide audience that has become increasingly skeptical of empty rhetoric.
‘Bombs’ and ‘Bullets’: A Taxing Tale of Transformation
Delving into the economic realm, PM Modi reflected on the significant changes made in the middle-class savings landscape during his tenure. He emphasized the progression from a time when ‘bombs’ were hurled and ‘bullets’ were shot, impacting people’s lives, to a present where tax exemptions have significantly increased for the salaried class.
PM Modi’s narrative of healing wounds and applying bandages through tax reforms painted a vivid picture of economic growth and stability. His promise of no tax on income up to ₹12.75 Lakh for the salaried class resonated with many across the nation.
In conclusion, PM Modi’s speech in the Lok Sabha was a masterclass in political rhetoric, blending humor, criticism, and policy insights with finesse. As Delhi Elections 2024 draw near, the political landscape is abuzz with anticipation and tension, setting the stage for a riveting showdown in the capital city.
