New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Rajya Sabha in the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address. Like his address in Lok Sabha on February 8, he targeted the Opposition and used sarcastic replies to prove his point. He alleged that the Opposition does not want the nation to develop.
He also took back the matters to Indira and Nehru regimes to highlight the misuse of power by Congress.
