He also said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government had made tremendous progress in various domains, which were recognised globally, and expressed confidence that the alliance will return to power on the basis of this record for a third term in 2024.

Speaking at the end of the no-confidence debate in Lok Sabha, Modi said, "In any nation's history, there is a time when it breaks old barriers and takes steps with new vision and energy. This era in the 21st century and I am saying this with a lot of responsibility in the highest temple of democracy - is an opportunity for India to fulfil its dreams. This time frame is really important. What will happen now will affect the country for 1000 years and lay the foundations for that long."
