Discussion on #NoConfidenceMotion wrapped up with confident remarks of PM Modi; BJP-led NDA emerges victorious

New Delhi, July 20: BJP-led NDA government is facing a no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha which was moved by opposition parties including Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Congress over the various issues including special status for Andhra Pradesh and mob lynching incidents. The voting on no-confidence Motion will take place at 6 pm.

Here are the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's replied on #NoConfidenceMotion in Lok Sabha

PM Modi praises the power of democracy. It's a chance to reassess the performance of the govt: he said.
I urge all parties to reject the #NoConfidenceMotion that has been moved in the House
“The question is why the motion was moved, when there is no mandate, no numbers,” to bring down the government he asks with a quip about a “bhookambh”, a reference to the popular hashtag on Rahul Gandhi’s speech.
“The only agenda is ‘Modi hatao’ but “I cannot be removed except by the 125 crore people of India. Why this hurry to remove me. In democracy, we should remain patient.”
“The only agenda is ‘Modi hatao’ but “I cannot be removed except by the 125 crore people of India. Why this hurry to remove me. In democracy, we should remain patient.”
“It's not the floor test of the govt. But a floor test for the Congress and a trial on the ‘what if I become Prime Minister dream’,” the PM said.
After slamming Rahul Gandhi on Doklam, PM Modi moves on to Rafale. “I cannot imagine such game can be played with the nation's security. The nation won't forgive you. This is the time for you change.”

PM Modi halted due to the ruckus made by the opposition

Disrespecting the democratic process in Lok Sabha by raising slogans and shouting during the reply by PM Modi, TDP members displayed an ugly side of their political culture.

However, PM Modi resumes his reply amidst protest.

“Sabka saath, sabka vikas government, when we worked on electrification in 18,000 villages. Among this 15,000 villages. Our tribals, Dalits and backward people reside,” he said.
8 crore toilets have been build for our poor mothers and sisters, PM Modi said adding about the free LPG scheme. Quotes an “international report” to claim 5 crore people came out of poverty and reels out other statistics. “These people don't have confidence in that,” he added.
Prime Minister goes on listing insurance scheme, health care, LED bulbs and the resultant savings in power, more companies that make mobile phones.
He then moves on to youth quoting 13 crore youth have been given loans, 10,000 start-ups are taking India forward.
The Prime Minister said India is 6th in managing financial management. “We used technology to bring Rs. 90,000 crore which would have gone to some other hands. We have shut down 2.5 lakh shell companies.”
He further added that benami transactions have been checked to a large extent.
PM Modi said, “No trust is part of Congress culture. They have no trust in Yoga day, CJI, RBI and other institutions... why? They don't trust themselves.”
“People who were sitting on a their own special rules were worried when the transformation made its way towards people’s power,” he said.
“These days talk of lord Shiva is being made. I pray to him that you people should bring another no-confidence motion after the next elections too,” PM added.
One of the leaders spoke about Doklam. The same leader, who believed the Chinese Ambassador over our forces. Where have we reached? Everything does not merit a childish conduct: PM Modi
After slamming Rahul Gandhi on Doklam, PM Modi moves on to Rafale. “I cannot imagine such game can be played with the nation's security. The nation won't forgive you. This is the time for you change.”
PM Modi said, "In the morning, the voting was not over, the debate was also not over one member comes running to me saying- Utho Utho Utho..What is his hurry to come to power? Let me tell this member it is the people who elected us. That is how we have come here."
“You called the surgical strike a Jumla Strike. You can abuse me as much as you want but stop insulting the Jawans of India. I will not tolerate this insult to our forces”: PM Modi
“Can anyone use such language against our soldiers,” he asked. “I cannot imagine the hurt such irresponsible speech would have caused. Country won't forgive you for calling surgical strikes a jhumla.”
He mocked the Congress statement about the numbers. “I remember the 1999 statement made in front of the Rashtrapati Bhavan about having 272 MPs’ support. And it turned out to be otherwise.”
“This is the culture of the Congress,” he says. From Charan Singh and Chandra Shekar and Deve Gowda to I.K. Gujral who would forget Congress’ withdrawal of support, he said. “And twice Congress tried to buy votes with notes. Who can forget that?”
“I am the son a poor mother. You are ‘naamdaar’. I don't have the courage to see eye to eye,” PM Modi quips referring to Rahul Gandhi’s speech.
“And after the eye-to-eye came the wink, everyone is watching in TV, ” he added.
On keeping fuel price out of GST, PM Modi said the decision was taken in UPA regime.
“I am bhaghidar of the poor, of the youth of the country in their dreams. And I am proud about that,” he said.
Congress’ mantra, PM Modi said, is if not us, there should be instability in the country.
Now, those who mocked at Ambedkar’s politics, are they taking credit for his work,” the Prime Minister asked.
Continuing to lambaste, PM Modi said, “Madame Speaker, the Congress is cut off from the ground reality.”
PM Modi’s yet to speak on any other party, not even the TDP which brought in the motion. However, moments ago he promised, “I am not going to leave anyone. I will give respect to everyone.”
Atal Ji created 3 states- Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. It was done peacefully. These states are now prospering. Congress divided Andhra Pradesh and their conduct then was shameful: PM Modi
When TDP was leaving NDA, I called up Chandrababu Naidu, warned him that you are falling into YSR Congress's trap
The prime minister also reiterated that his government will do everything possible for the development of Andhra Pradesh. "I want to tell the people of Andhra Pradesh that we will keep working for them," he added.
PM Modi now moves on to talk about bank loans and NPAs. Numbers are being reeled out amid slogans of “We Want Justice”. Though not shown by Lok Sabha TV we can understand the protest is by members from A.P.
“I want to tell you about the NPA problem. Much before Internet Banking, Congress Party invented Phone Banking and this caused the NPA mess. A phone call would get loans for their cronies and the nation suffered.”
Prime Minister referred to notes to talk about the “damage” the UPA govt did to capital goods sector. Possibly the protests are at the Well of the House. Though it was not shown, we can see hands going up in the frame showing the PM.
PM Modi, who is known for his extempore speeches, continues to refer notes while talking about economics numbers.
If the UPA govt was allowed to continue in 2014, the country would have gone from bad to worse, the Prime Minister implies.
“Any instance of violence brings shame to the nation. I will once again urge the state governments to punish those who indulge in violence,” says the PM. “This Government stands with the Muslim women in their quest for justice.”
“India is seeing the record pace at which roads are being built, villages are being connected, i-ways are being built, railways development is happening,” he said.
The Prime Minister now turns to statistics on the job opportunities to be created by medical and legal professions.
It looks like a ritual now: PM gives out numbers, Treasury benches respond with a feeble, tired desk thumping.
Sector after sector is creating lakhs and lakhs of jobs, the PM said. “I am creating independent reports, not sarkari numbers,” he says.
He concluded his speech.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh speaks in Lok Sabha
He recalls an incident three-decades ago when Rajiv Gandhi pointed at BJP and remarked "Hum Do, Hamare Do". Today, we are the majority in the House. Not a single party had the numbers to bring a no-confidence motion on its own.
It was believed that BJP couldn't win a seat in Kerala. Today, in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, one-third councillors belong to BJP. He cities the example of Tripura, two which the Left members protest.
HM said that we won with two-third majority in Tripura. The people who brought no-confidence motion haven't learnt the mood of the nation, he says.
"When we were in the Opposition for 10 years, we never thought of bringing a no-confidence motion since we respected the people's mandate. We respect the Opposition and that is why we heeded to their demands and accepted the no-confidence motion," Rajnath Singh said.
In the last 30 years, no political party has won majority. For the first time a non-Congress party has earned majority in the House. "Are you bringing a no-confidence motion against a Prime Minister, on whose appeal millions of Indians voluntarily gave up LPG subsidy and subsidies on railways?" Rajnath Singh highlights that the BJP won majority in Uttar Pradesh after demonetisation exercise.
The people who brought no-confidence motion today are not in the same page. There is difference among them and the alliance they talk, will never happen: he added.
Lok Sabha adjourned till 16.30
Discussion in Lok Sabha resumes
Rajnath Singh resumes his address after Lok Sabha resumed.
India is the fastest growing country in the World. The IMF has predicted that the GDP will bounce back. Fours years ago India was in the ninth position, today we are the sixth largest economy. In 2030, we will be among the top 3 economies and India is the most attractive destination for investment: he added.
HM says, there have been earlier instances of economic offenders fleeing the country. But we were the one to bring a bill against fugitive economic offenders.
"The late Rajiv Gandhi remarks every one rupee alloted by the Centre, only 15 paise reaches the common man. Today, thanks to direct benefit transfer, the entire money reaches the beneficiary," he added.
The Opposition always has doubts. Will the alliance ever happen? Who will lead the alliance? They always have doubts, HM remarks.
Rajnath Singh takes swipe at Rahul Gandhi and call his gesture of hugging the Prime Minister “Chipko Andolan.”
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan agrees that it was against the decorum of the House.
Rajnath Singh takes dig at Rahul Gandhi's speech. He said Rahul should have read history before making remarks. “India's democracy is older than Britain's. Basavanna held assembly in 12th century. Gram sabhas were held in Thanjavur,” Rajnath Singh claims.
Speaker says Lok Sabha TV has a wonderful programme on history and people can watch to learn more about India's historic democracy.
Rajnath Singh goes on to elaborate India's ancient rule from Chandragupta Maurya. “Jawaharlal Nehru has written about India's secular credentials in his Discovery of India,” he added.
Rajnath Singh lists the funds released by the Centre for development of Andhra Pradesh and its capital Amaravati. If needed, we will give more money, he says.
The TDP has been demanding a Special Category Status. There are some difficulties in granting it. Under 14th Finance Commission, the State would get 32 per cent funds. We have granted more than it. We have also released a special package for the State, Rajnath Singh said.
Andhra Pradesh should give up the demand for SCS and speed up their projects, Rajnath Singh added.
Andhra Pradesh is also part of this country. We understand the issues it is facing due to bifurcation. We are there to support the State, says Rajnath Singh ending his speech.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that only under the Prime Minister had the minimum support price (MSP) become double. “This can only be done by someone who was born to a poor woman.”
He referred to Congress president Rahul Gandhi as being born with a silver spoon. “Poverty is a matter of hearing for him, not a matter of suffering,” says the Minister.
'It has now been four years since we took over, and our Prime Minister has not taken even four minutes of leave,'' he noted.
We haven't had a single terror attack in four years, claims Rajnath
The northeastern region has developed under Modi's rule. We have a framework agreement of Naga insurgency, it will be duly informed in the House.
We haven't had a single terror attack in four years, claims Rajnath Singh.
More naxals have been killed than security forces under this rule: HM
People who carried out anti-Sikh riots are teaching lessons on mob lynching, remarks Rajnath Singh. He was referring to the 1984 riots against Sikhs after Indira Gandhi's assasination.
Singh talks about 'Hindu Taliban' remark without naming Shashi Tharoor. Don't incidents of chopping Kerala professor's hands by Islam fundamentalist or attacks in Kashmir remind you of Taliban? he asks.
We are a secular country, don't break it, warns Rajnath Singh while concluding with pointing at Opposition

The TDP gave letter supporting bifurcation, but spoke about unified Andhra in the House: BJP
The SCS doesn't guarantee industrial corridor. It will only give additional aide from the Centre. But the Union government has given more than what SCS would guarantee to the State: BJP Lawmaker said.
