Earlier today, in his over two-hour reply to the motion of thanks to the President's address in Lok Sabha, PM Modi said Congress is had become a "parasite" on its allies and has made “lies” a weapon of its politics, ANI reported.
“The people of India have reposed faith in our government's track record over the past 10 years and have given us the opportunity to continue good governance for the third time. People saw our commitment to serving the citizens with the belief of 'Jan Seva hi Prabhu Seva' (Service to humanity is service to God). People rewarded the zero tolerance for corruption,” he said.
Earlier on Monday, during the Lok Sabha debate on the Motion of Thanks to President Draupadi Murmu's address, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP and RSS of promoting violence and spreading hatred, sparking protests from the Treasury benches. In response to Rahul Gandhi's comments regarding the Hindu community, PM Modi asserted on Tuesday that there is a deliberate plot to unfairly label Hindus as violent, a grievance that he believes will be remembered by the nation for generations.
