What Modi said: Here are the main points

*No-confidence has always been lucky for us

*Opposition is power-hungry

*I treat Opposition abuses as a tonic for me

*In 2014, a full majority govt came after three decades and we got a bigger mandate in 2019 because of our track record

*I don’t know what was compulsion of Congress for sidelining Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, maybe call was made from Kolkata

*The Opposition said banking sector would collapse. They asked foreign experts to say this. They spread lies about banks. Our public sector banks’ net profit doubled

*Opposition did the same about HAL. They used HAL was finished and India’s defence sector destroyed. A video too was filmed about HAL. Today, HAL is achieving new heights of success, registering biggest revenue

*We have restored India’s old glory on global stage. But some people want to defame the country

*Again, they did the same about LIC.Lies were spread about LIC. Today, it is growing stronger.

*Opposition has a secret boon. Whoever you curse does well. One such example is standing before you. ’20 saal ho gaye kya kuch nahi hua par bhala hi hota gaya.. But I have only prospered.

*Under Congress rule, Indian economy used to be languishing at 10th or 11th spot. After 2014, it is among top 5 economies
