A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee fiercely criticised the Election Commission of India (ECI) during the Supreme Court hearing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, unable to refrain from commenting in the Lok Sabha, took a jab at the state government in the Rajya Sabha On Wednesday.
The Prime Minister said, “A government of brutality is functioning in Bengal.” Along with the Trinamool Congress, he targeted the Congress party stating, “The term ‘constitution’ does not suit them; they have not hesitated to insult the indigenous President.”

“The second quarter of ‘Vikshit Bharat’ is poised to be very significant; we have reached a crucial chapter. Here, we will not give up but will move forward. This is the best time for India’s progress. In various developed countries around the world, the population of elderly individuals is increasing. In India, however, the number of young people is on the rise. Our youth possesses everything from numbers to the willpower needed to succeed,” he said.

Pointing out that the world is currently growing through various crises, he said, “India has become a beacon of hope for the globe.”
In another context, the Prime Minister remarked, “At the time of independence, India was the 6th largest economy, and the Congress had elevated it to the 11th position. Now, the country is progressing towards becoming the third largest economy in the world.”
Referring to India’s financial agreements with various countries, he noted that “India is a global friend to many nations, and the world is now speaking of the ‘Global South’. Economically, India has emerged as one of the strongest voices of the Global South.”
Criticising the Trinamool Congress, the Prime Minister stated, “Trinamool MPs have made numerous statements in Parliament; before offering us advice, they should reflect on their own situation. The condition in Bengal has deteriorated to the extent possible, and your time has been equally dismal, plunging the future of the people there into darkness. You understand nothing beyond the comfort of being in power. Even developed nations are expelling illegal immigrants, while here, assistance is being provided to them. The Trinamool is exerting pressure on the judiciary. These illegal immigrants are taking away job opportunities from the youth, and those responsible for this will not be forgiven by the young men and women of this country. The land of the poor is being seized, and women have no security. I reiterate, before you offer us advice, bring about a change in the situation of your own state.”
Today, during a session devoid of Opposition, the Prime Minister criticised the Congress party, stating, “From the speech of the Congress Prime Minister at the Red Fort, it is evident that they lacked foresight and willpower.”
“After coming to power, we have spent a considerable amount of time rectifying the mistakes of the Congress. However, the country now operates according to policies, and we are on the path of reform and transformation. The nation is now aboard the reform express, and we have made numerous changes in policies. India is now capable of competing on a global scale. Currently, business organisations hold us in much higher regard than before,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi commenced his response speech to the President’s speech in the Rajya Sabha, at which point there were loud slogans from the opposition members throughout the House. Nevertheless, amidst the tumultuous atmosphere, Modi began his address. He directed a pointed remark at the Congress leader and senior member Mallikarjun Kharge regarding the slogans being raised. In a sarcastic tone, he reminded him of his age, stating, “You can chant slogans while being seated. I noticed some individuals are already becoming exhausted. However, remember, you too will have to respond to the Country.”
He said, “MSMEs are a vital component of the economy; even if we do not manufacture aircraft, we produce parts for them. The world has acknowledged this transformation in India. There is widespread appreciation for the European Union’s trade deals, which will benefit the youth in both urban and rural areas of the country. The global market has opened up for them, and the nation stands with you. The world is ready to welcome you. There are immense opportunities ahead for India’s professionals.”
