New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha will resume its proceedings today, a day after the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reply to the 18-hour-long debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address.
PM Modi will likely address the Rajya Sabha today after the parliament witnessed the government and the opposition go head-to-head in a debate. Lok Sabha witnessed unprecedented chaos as the prime minister was seen shouting while Opposition MPs screamed to drown out his voice. The PM targeted Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi during his over two-hour long speech in the Lok Sabha and dismissed his fiery speech, just a day ago, as “‘balak buddhi’ (childish behaviour)”.
As the opposition’s sloganeering ramped up, the Prime Minister continued. “I can understand the pain of some people… even after spreading lies they tasted defeat. People of India have given us the opportunity to work for the third time… have given us a mandate,” he said.
