‘Santushtikaran, not tushtikaran’: PM Modi attacks Opposition in Lok Sabha
Prime Minister Narendra Modi replies to Motion of Thanks on President's address.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday underlined the historic significance of being elected to serve for a third successive term. This achievement, he noted, reflects the confidence and trust the people of India have in his leadership and the policies of his government.
Replying to the motion of thanks on the President's address in Parliament, Modi said, “The people of India have given us the opportunity to serve them for a third successive term. It is a very important incident in the history of the country.”
"The public has seen our track record of 10 years," he said.
Reiterating his government's commitment to eradicating corruption, Modi recalled the promises made when he first assumed office. "When we came for the first time in 2014, we had promised zero tolerance against corruption," he asserted.
“Corruption had ravaged the country like termites. However, the countrymen have blessed us for our zero-tolerance approach to corruption,” PM Modi said.
Taking a jibe at previous Congress-led governments, the prime minister said, “The country witnessed the politics and governance model of appeasement for a long time.”
“Country saw appeasement politics for long, we followed 'santushtikaran' not 'tushtikaran',” PM Modi said, repeating the slogan ‘justice for all, appeasement to none’.
