55 years vs 55 months: PM Modi tears into Congress | Ghanti Bajao
Asserting that his government had kept a tight lid on corruption, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his motion of thanks speech in the Lok Sabha on Thursday said those who have looted the nation would continue to be scared of him. In a 100-minute speech in Lok Sabha, he launched a stinging attack on the Congress, accusing its successive governments of indulging in corruption and harbouring the corrupt. Modi also highlighted the development schemes of his government.
In a hard-hitting reply to the motion of thanks to the President's address, Modi compared the work under his "55-month" rule to the Congress' record of "55 years" in power, while making a re-election pitch in what was likely his last speech in the House before the general election.
