On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will respond to the 'Motion of Thanks' on the President's speech, which was delivered on January 31, the opening day of the budget session in Parliament. According to sources, PM Modi is expected to set the agenda for the Lok Sabha elections during his speech.

Take a swipe at PM Modi's scheduled address, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh stated that it will be an "electoral speech." 

Speaking with news agency ANI, Ramesh stated: “In a vote of thanks opposition leader speaks first and then the prime minister replies to it. It will be an electoral speech…I do not expect anything from the PM. They will defame Congress, and will not say anything about Manipur, China, rising unemployment, inflation, Paytm…He will only keep praising himself."
