Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday outlined his vision for a potential third term and said it will strengthen the foundation for a developed India, as he launched a scorching attack on the Congress over its handling of the economy, internal security, and social justice just months ahead of general elections.
In his last speech in Parliament before the polls, Modi also hit out at the Opposition for trying to pit northern states against southern states, referred to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's comment that the Congress will not win 40 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, and accused the Congress of colonial mentality and hurting marginalised castes.
"The third term of our government is not far away. Some people call it Modi 3.0. Modi 3.0 will put all its might to strengthen the foundation of Viksit Bharat (developed India)," the PM said while speaking in the Rajya Sabha as part of his reply to the debate on the motion of thanks on the President's address.
MODI 3.0 In the speech that lasted nearly 90 minutes, Modi said that the 10 years of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government will be remembered for "big and decisive" moves, and added that the nation's policies were geared towards ensuring basic facilities for all and raising the standards of living.
"In the coming days, our focus will be going beyond ease of living to improving quality of life... my resolve to provide new opportunities to the neo-middle class that has just come out of poverty. We will provide more strength to the Modi kavach (shield) of social justice," he said.
