What questions did PM Modi answer in his one-and-a-half-hour speech in the Lok Sabha?
Today, the BJP issued a three line whip for its MPs. Suppose they will have to be present in the House and vote on the party line. Otherwise action can be taken against them. Voting was to be held today in the Lok Sabha on the President's address. So the party did not want any amendment to the vote of thanks. Before voting, the government brought its show stopper to speak on the vote of thanks - Narendra Damodardas Modi - Prime Minister of India. His speech in Rajya Sabha became a cause for discussion. If that speech was called 20, then his speech in the Lok Sabha was 21. chandravanshi
The PM stood up to speak in favor of the motion of thanks, but in his nearly one and a half hour long speech, he tried to answer every question that was thrown towards his government in recent times. One question was asked a lot about agricultural laws - who demanded these laws? Answering this question like today, PM said that no one demanded for many reform laws, but still they were brought.
As the matter of PM became longer, opposition MPs started creating a ruckus. Congress leader in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary, tried to sway the Prime Minister. The PM took a few jokes at first, but when Adhir Ranjan kept speaking, he made a comment on the Congress itself.
What did you say on privatization?
After this the Prime Minister came on privatization. Like all governments, the Modi government is also engaged in disinvestment of government companies and properties. In plain language - is engaged in selling. And like the opposition parties of all tenures, today's opposition is also surrounded by the Prime Minister regarding this policy. Today, the PM openly defended the private sector.
Like the Rajya Sabha, the word agitation was also mentioned in the Lok Sabha. The PM also referred to the violence during the peasant movement and the attacks on mobile towers in Punjab.
What about talking to farmers?
Finally, the Prime Minister once again appealed to the farmers to find a solution through dialogue. But after today's speech, PM has pulled a streak like this. What can happen in that movement, and what cannot. It is not likely that the farmers' organizations will openly welcome the PM's comments. Now there are two things to see. Firstly, if indeed the government will walk on the same line to deal with the peasant movement, which was seen in the PM's speech, then the middle ground which is being searched between the two sides will be tilted towards whom? And if that happens, what will happen as a result of the hands of the peasant movement? The farmers are also firm about the demands and the government is also not taking the name of bowing down. In such a situation, the coming two-three months will be very important to get an idea of the condition and direction of the farmer movement.
