Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the tone for the upcoming Parliament session today, emphasizing unity and national development ahead of the Union Budget presentation scheduled for tomorrow. Addressing the media, Modi criticized what he termed as “negative politics” by some opposition parties, accusing them of misusing Parliament to obscure their own shortcomings.
“The upcoming Union Budget will chart the course for the next five years, laying the groundwork for achieving the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047,” Modi stated, underlining the importance of collective efforts towards national progress.
Reflecting on recent political battles, Modi urged all MPs, irrespective of party affiliations, to shift focus from electoral competition to serving the nation. “From now until 2029, let us dedicate ourselves to empowering the underprivileged, farmers, youth, and women through active people’s participation,” he urged.
The Prime Minister expressed disappointment over instances where Parliamentarians were allegedly denied the opportunity to voice concerns due to obstructive tactics. “This Parliament belongs to the 140 crore people of India, not just to political parties. We must rise above party interests and prioritize national interests,” Modi asserted.
Looking ahead to the Monsoon session, Modi underscored its significance in India’s democratic journey. “After nearly six decades, our government has the privilege of presenting the first budget of its third term. This reflects a proud moment in our democratic history,” he remarked.
Highlighting India’s economic resilience amidst global challenges, Modi noted the country’s robust growth trajectory and burgeoning opportunities. He expressed confidence in Parliament’s ability to foster constructive dialogue that translates into tangible benefits for citizens.
In conclusion, Modi reaffirmed his government’s commitment to translating promises into actions, with the budget serving as a pivotal tool in realizing developmental goals. “Let us utilize this temple of democracy to fulfill the dreams and aspirations of every Indian,” he concluded.
The stage is set for deliberations that will shape India’s future trajectory, with expectations high for a productive and forward-looking parliamentary session.
