New Delhi, June 11 – With the first session of the 16th Lok Sabha coming to end on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will respond to discussions and criticism against the motion of thanks on President’s address, in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The PM is expected to speak in the Lok Sabha at 4pm and later in the Rajya Sabha, and outline the agenda of the government. Sushma Swaraj is expected to unfold the agenda of governance of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in the Lok Sabha. This will be the first time she will defend the Modi government in the 16th Lok Sabha.
The PM’s reply in the Rajya Sabha is likely to be a stormy one, as the BSP had staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday to demand the dismissal of the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh over the Badaun gangrape and murder incident, and lawlessness in the state.
In his address on Monday, the President laid out the priorities and goals of the Narendra Modi government. The speech also included a series of ambitious policy goals that had been laid out in the election manifesto of Mr Modi’s BJP, including the creation of 100 new cities and a revamp of the railway network.
“The country is passing through an extremely difficult phase on the economic front,” said Mukherjee. “Putting the economy back on track is paramount for my government.”
