PM Modi said this was the first time in the history of the Congress that for three consecutive times it has not been able to cross 100 seats.
“It would have been better if Congress had accepted its defeat and respected the mandate of the people but they are busy doing some ‘Sirsasana’ and Congress and its ecosystem are trying to establish in the minds of the citizens of India that they have defeated us…Bachhe ka mann behlane ka kaam chal raha hai,” he added.
On Rahul Gandhi showing images of gods in Lok Sabha, PM Modi said, “We saw childish behaviour in Lok Sabha yesterday. Images of our Gods cannot be used for personal political interests.”
PM Narendra Modi also said that the people have given his government a mandate for stability and continuity for the third consecutive term after testing it on every criterion. He said the people have seen the dedication with which his government served them for 10 years.
“In our third term, we will work with triple the speed. Our third term means we will put in thrice the strength. In our third term, we will ensure three times the results,” Modi said in the Lok Sabha, amid vociferous protests by the Opposition.
