G20 podium
NEW DELHI: The New India had crossed many a milestone in domestic and global landscape and this has disappointed some people at home and abroad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Parliament last week.
The world, he said, was looking at India with hope amid instability in some parts of the globe due to the pandemic and conflicts. “But some people who are neck deep in frustration refuse to accept India’s growth story. They cannot see the achievements of 140 crore Indians,” PM Modi said, targeting the Opposition.
The Prime Minister said people know Modi has come to their help in times of crisis. “How will they agree with your abuses and allegations,” he told the Opposition. “People trust in Modi not due to newspaper headlines or TV visuals, but due to my years of dedication in the service of the people,” the PM asserted.
He said the Opposition had wasted the past nine years in levelling baseless allegations instead of indulging in constructive criticism. “When you lose elections, blame the EVMs, criticise the Election Commission; if the Supreme Court does not give a favourable verdict, criticise the apex court. If corruption is being probed, you abuse the investigative agencies, if the armed forces display valour, you question them. When there is talk of economic progress, you criticise the RBI,” added the Prime Minister
