PM in RS: If Cong loses does it mean India lost?

June 26, 2019 14:15

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is replying to the 'Motion of Thanks on the President's Address' in the Rajya Sabha. "It is after long that a government with full majority won once again with a full majority. In this mandate we see the wish of the people for stability. In fact, this trend of stable governments is being seen in many states as well.

"I was saddened when some leaders said the BJP and allies won the elections but the nation lost, democracy lost. I want to clearly say that such statements are unfortunate. Why question the wisdom of voters?

"It is an insult to the democracy when some people say I have won but the people of the country have lost the elections. Voters of the country have chosen stability. The people were fighting the elections more than political leaders.

"Did India lose in Wayanad? Did India lose in Rae Bareli? Did India lose in Trivandrum, what about Amethi? What kind of argument is this? If Congress loses then does that mean India lost? There is a limit to arrogance. Congress could not win a single seat in 17 states."
