NDA has confidence of 125 crore people: Modi

July 21, 2018 01:02

Soon after his government sailed through the no-confidence motion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the ruling National Democratic Alliance has the confidence of the Lok Sabha and 125 crore people of India.

'I thank all the parties that have supported us in the vote today. Our efforts to transform India and fulfil the dreams of our youth continue,' Modi tweeted.

Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah said the defeat faced by the Opposition in Parliament is just a 'glimpse' of the 2019 Lok Sabha poll results and a reflection of people's faith in the Modi government and its mantra of 'sab ka sath sab ka vikas'.

He said the outcome of the no-trust vote is a victory of democracy and a defeat of dynasty politics.

'The defeat (of the Opposition) in Lok Sabha today is just a glimpse of next year's Lok Sabha election results. The country has full trust not only the Modi government's mantra of sab ka saath sab ka biswaas.

'This win of the Modi government is a win of the democracy and defeat of dynasty politics,' Shah said in his tweets following the defeat of the no-confidence motion.

He said the Congress, 'which promotes dynasty politics, racism and appeasement', has once again been exposed in its hatred towards the prime minister who comes from a humble background.

'Without a majority and lacking any objective, the Congress party has exposed its political bankruptcy by not just bringing a purposeless motion against the government which enjoys the country's full trust and faith, but has also repeated its age-old history of crushing the democracy,' he said. -- PTI
