In last Lok Sabha speech, PM Modi’s sharp dig at Rahul Gandhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted the Congress over its attack on the government on the Rafale fighter jet deal and said “many planes were being flown in the floor of this House”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered his last speech in Lok Sabha on Wednesday before the 2019 elections. The PM talked about the performance of his government and took a swipe at Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Modi said he being a first-time MP got to know the difference between hugging and piling on. He was referring to July last year when Rahul Gandhi hugged the prime minister in Lok Sabha. “ I got to know the difference between gale milna and gale parna (hugging and piling on). I got to know about aankhon ki gustakhiyaan (mischief of the eye),” Modi said.

Modi targeted the Congress for attacking the government over the Rafale fighter jet deal and said “many planes were being flown on the floor of this House”.

A report by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG), tabled in Parliament on Wednesday, said that the 36 Rafale fighters bought by the Modi-led NDA government from France are “2.86 percent cheaper” than the price negotiated by the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government.

The prime minister continued to target Rahul Gandhi and said “there was talk of an earthquake but it never came”. Rahul Gandhi had alleged that he was not allowed to speak in Parliament by the government and there “will be an earthquake” if he gets a chance to speak.

PM Modi said that it was the first time in the last 30 years that a non-Congress government had been formed and that too with a majority.

Claiming that India’s confidence is brimming and at an all-time high, he praised both the government and the opposition for the work achieved during his tenure.
