July 20, 2018 21:30

Prime Minister Narendra Modi replies to the motion of no confidence in Lok Sabha.

"I request all of you to reject this motion and express confidence in a full-majority government elected after 30 years," he said.

"It is good that the country is getting to see this face of politics. How negative politics has surrounded several politicians today, they're being unveiled today," the PM said.

The PM mocked the Opposition for bringing the motion, saying they don't have numbers, they were not prepared for a debate then what was the rush to bring the motion.

He took potshots at the Opposition with a couplet, "Na manjhi, na rahbar, na haq me hawayein, hai kashti bhi jarjar ye kaisa safar hai."

The said it is the arrogance of people who say 'when I speak, the PM will not stand for 15 minutes'.

Taking swipe at Congress president Rahul Gandhi without naming him, he said, "It is a trial for getting other parties' support for his PM's candidature. But others too have ambitions."
