There must be budget allocation behavioural change. Ghulam Nabi Azad spoke about the Bofors deal. R venkatraman in his autobiography said that 'it will be difficult to say that congress didn't receive commission'. We must all work towards behavioural change.

You (opposition) also discussed the amount spent on Swacch Bharat...sanitation, cleanliness..are topics in which more than infrastructure, habits come into question..For behavioral change we need to educate people, create awareness. Even in states where your party is in power, you should work towards behavioral change among people and educating them : PM Modi on Swacch Bharat.

Torture on women is not a matter of BJP, Congress or any other party...a lot is said about women, our daughters...but nobody raises questions on our sons...how are they brought up, what kind of principles are they taught that they commit such crimes..it is more important to raise them properly.

Swacch Bharat Yojna, International Yoga day, even surgical strikes are being made fun of, continuously brought up.  But this is because you do not have the courage to face the people. The kind of law you wanted on triple talaq...even you could have done it..your minister (Congress) had raised voice against triple talaq but when he saw the majority was in favour and the vote bank politics was in danger...he backed off. : PM Modi on triple talaq.

OBC's have now stood up. Why should someone oppose recognition of the OBC commission? You don't have the courage to openly oppose it, hence you're finding reasons to oppose.

We have all been chief ministers. You worked and that's good. But your idea was incomplete and implementation was also incomplete. It is important that the money that is meant for a particular project should be spent on that particular project In our country, we need to focus on agriculture...if there is a lot of sugarcane production than also the farmer will suffer and if there is less production even then the farmer will suffer. Now sprinklers are used for sugarcane production. We are working towards making sure that farmers get fair amount for their produce. We need to remember that the world is moving towards holistic healthcare...and we can become big in the global market as exporters of natural products which will benefit a lot of farmers. We need to work towards value addition. Solar pumps will help in saving electricity.

Amit Shah spoke in the parliament. Ghulam Nabi Azad said that Sardar Patel wasn't mentioned in the speech. Glad that you remembered him. Elections happened in Gujarat. Sardar Patel was mentioned in every campaign by the Congress. I was happy to see this. And after the elections were over there is no picture of Sardar Patel anywhere.

When I was the Chief Minister I had to write letters to the prime minister. Now urea is being made available easily. So many projects almost 30 to 40 years old...Let's talk about food security bill. Why didn't you implement it in year 1?

To start programmes you say that they were started at your time...but you forget the negatives that happened during your time. If we are actually implementing those programmes for the welfare of the people then what is the problem? PM Modi asks Congress.

Feb 07, 2018 16:37 (IST)
We sometimes just make schemes and leave them half finished. There have been programmes, initiatives that were declared about decades ago but now only exist as names.

For four decades, you made fool of the people. For 28 years, Congress did nothing about benami property...you did not make any rules. Congress boycotted implementation of GST...whatever negativity you have against it...the money from GST will ultimately benefit the people of the country.

One rank one pension was being withheld for 10 years. When we implemented it, we realised 11,000 crores were required.

On 7th July 1998 the government said multi-purpose identity cards will be used for employment in public sector. Seeds of Aadhaar were sown 20 years back, it is with us. Even if you say Aadhaar was your idea, even if you say we are taking credit for your work, we don't have a problem because for us the interest of people is more important. The Supreme Court had ordered you to take a decision on this but you did not take any decision for 3 years.: PM Modi on the Aadhar controversy.

India has reached where it has because of every government's contribution. You said that everything that happened before 2014 was because of you. We don't ask you remember Atalji (Bihari Vajpayee). We are not dying for you to take Atal Bajpayee's for his contributions...its your wish whosoever's name you want to take.

Feb 07, 2018 16:23 (IST)
You also said that we are name changers and not game changers, we are aim chasers. We work hard.
