Laughter echoed through the Rajya Sabha as Prime Minister Narendra Modi humorously chided opposition sloganeering on Thursday. In his reply to President Droupadi Murmu’s address thanks motion, he observed, ‘Kharge ji has reached an age where he should slogan from a seated position.’ The house’s uproarious response underscored the Prime Minister’s timing and charm.
Pivoting to India’s ascent, Modi hailed the President’s address for its empathetic depth across societal layers. From impoverished households to tech-savvy youth, agriculture to advanced sciences, it painted a vivid progress picture. ‘She has articulated every group’s potential, kindling optimism for India’s future trajectory,’ Modi stated.
He stressed the second quarter of this century’s criticality, akin to the freedom fight’s turning point. India teeters on a historic threshold, demanding unwavering acceleration towards development goals. The shared national resolve fuels this unstoppable drive.
India’s economy exemplifies this vigor, boasting top-tier growth rates with minimal inflation pressures. This blend validates the robustness of reforms and positions India as a global frontrunner. Modi’s speech masterfully wove levity with leadership, galvanizing the chamber towards common purpose.
