Thursday’s Rajya Sabha saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi deliver a pointed rebuttal to President Droupadi Murmu’s address, targeting Congress for alleged betrayals that span farmers’ fields to infrastructure highways. His words resonated with urgency and resolve.
At the heart was the small farmer crisis: 10 crore with minimal landholdings, long neglected. Modi’s PM Kisan initiative, rooted in genuine concern, has funneled Rs 4 lakh crore to them—a feat in record time.
Congress? Masters of ‘postpone, hinder, mislead,’ sticking to primitive models. Modi narrated the Narmada saga: Patel’s vision, Nehru’s stone-laying, Modi’s grand opening. A symbol of persistent delays.
In a dramatic flourish, Modi challenged: ‘Forging a developed nation, yet Congress plots graves. Which love peddler digs for citizens? Pure constitutional sacrilege!’
Triumphs under his watch included reviving the Bogibeel Bridge, a Northeast lifeline delayed for ages, now complete via proactive reviews, spurring regional development.
Culminating powerfully, Modi declared unwavering trust in 1.4 billion Indians as problem-solvers. ‘We harness their might; Congress fears it,’ he stated, framing the discourse as a choice between progress and pessimism.
