PM Modi in Parliament: "A few people, drowning in despair, are unable to accept the country's progress. They don't see achievements of the people of the country. It's the result of the efforts of 140 crore people of the country due to which India is making a name. They don't see those achievements.

"Speed with which India's digital infrastructure has shown its strength and made a change towards modernity -- it's being studied by the entire world. I was in Bali for G20 Summit. Digital India was being appreciated everywhere and there was curiosity that how the country is doing this.

"During 10 years of UPA govt, inflation was in double digits and hence when something good happens, their sadness increases. In the history of the country's independence, 2004-2014 was full of scams. Terror attacks took place across the country in those 10 years."

Accusing the opposition of being so "immersed in despair" that they can't see the progress the country is making. "Why wouldn't it be so? Because In the decade between 2004 and 2014" he said, and launched into one of his sharpest attacks on the Congress.
