He termed it a golden opportunity for young MPs. Addressing the media, he said, in this budget session, all MPs will contribute to strengthen developed India. This is a golden opportunity especially for the young MPs. Because the more awareness and participation they increase in the House, the fruits of developed India will be visible before their eyes.
Before the budget, PM Modi also talked about 'igniting sparks from a foreign corner'. He said, I have been seeing since 2014 that before every session, people used to sit ready to create mischief and here there is no dearth of people to fuel them. After 10 years, this is the first session I am seeing in which no spark was ignited from any foreign corner.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also gave the mantra to accelerate the pace of development. He said, Reform, Perform and Transform. When a fast pace of development has to be achieved, the maximum emphasis is on reform. The state and central governments have to perform together and with the participation of the people, we can see transformation.
