Prime Minister Narendra Modi will reply to the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address in the Rajya Sabha today. He replied in the Rajya Sabha yesterday and targeted Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram over his criticism of the government's economic policies.
Referring to the defence sector, PM Modi said earlier it took years to make a decision concerning and when the decision was finally taken, the equipment will get obsolete but money was paid. "We have simplified the processes. The issues pending for years, we have tried to solve them.
Earlier, for any modern equipment, we had to look towards other countries, and purchases were sometimes made in a hurry. We were dependent on others for spare parts also. By remaining dependent on others, we cannot ensure the security of the country. We should have our own capability. It is a matter of national service to be self-reliant in the defence sector. Besides fulfilling the needs of the country, we are going forward carrying a dream of being a big defence exporter. I have confidence, it will be fulfilled," the Prime Minister said.
He said there were "many vested interests were involved in the process of defence purchases and would indulge in bribes". "I have challenged them and it is natural they are angry and it gets reflected," he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also address his first virtual rally for the Punjab Assembly polls today.
In his rally, Modi will address people from 18 Assembly segments of Ludhiana and Fatehgarh Sahib parliamentary constituencies, according to a statement issued by the BJP.
The party has set up LED screens all over the 18 Assembly segments. About 50,000 people are expected to watch the PM's address, it said.
The party has scheduled some more rallies of the PM for the coming days, the statement said.
Modi had visited Punjab on January 5 but he returned without dedicating development projects and addressing a rally as his convoy was stuck on a flyover due to a blockade by some protesters in Ferozepur.
The BJP is fighting the state Assembly polls in alliance with the Amarinder Singh-led Punjab Lok Congress and the Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa-led Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt).
