All eyes on NDA’s ‘Mangal Milan’ meeting on Tuesday
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Parliamentary Party meeting, now called 'Mangal Milan', will be held on Tuesday at Parliament House.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday used his address ahead of Parliament’s Monsoon Session to speak about India’s economy, the conflict in West Asia, the country’s recent technology milestones and what he expects from lawmakers during the weeks ahead.
From saying India remained the world’s fastest-growing major economy despite global turmoil to praising the young team behind Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 launch, PM Modi also urged MPs to avoid disruption and focus on discussions backed by “facts and logic.”

PM Modi said the conflict in West Asia created major challenges for India because of its dependence on imported energy, fertilisers and chemicals.
“Despite this, India has maintained a growth rate of 7.7 per cent, emerging as the fastest-growing major economy in the world,” he said.
2. India’s growth shows its ‘inherent strength’
Calling the economic performance a sign of resilience, PM Modi said the growth rate reflected the country’s determination to keep moving forward despite global uncertainty.
“This reflects India’s inherent strength and the enthusiasm with which the nation wants to achieve new milestones.”
3. Parliament should debate, not create a storm
Making a pitch for a smooth Monsoon Session, the Prime Minister said Parliament should focus on meaningful discussions instead of disruption.
“Where there are facts and logic, there is no room for creating a storm.”
4. Every MP’s experience is needed
PM Modi said experienced parliamentarians from every political party have an important role to play during the session.
“The country and Parliament need their experience and knowledge. Meaningful discussions and a collective resolve to take the nation forward are the need of the hour.”
5. The aspirations of young Indians cannot be ignored
The Prime Minister said India’s youth want the country to move faster and Parliament should match those aspirations.
“The country’s youth, who are full of aspirations, demand that we move forward.”
6. Skyroot’s average age is just 28
Praising Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace after the successful Vikram-1 launch, Modi highlighted the age of the team behind the mission.

PM Modi said the country’s recent achievements send a powerful message about the next generation.
“The potential and aspirations of our country’s youth are as boundless as space itself.”
