Oppn performed final rituals of the UPA in Bengaluru: PM Modi  

I’d like to extend my sympathies to the opposition, as I observed your recent proceedings in Bengaluru where you seemed to be conducting the final rituals of the UPA. It’s intriguing that amidst the act of bidding farewell, there was also a celebration, though the nature of the celebration seems questionable – akin to celebrating the renovation of a ruin. It appears that you’re aligning with those who, across generations, struggle to differentiate between red pepper and green pepper.

On one hand, you were performing last rites par aap jashan bhi mana rahe the aur jashan bhi kis cheez ka- khandhar par naya… pic.twitter.com/cJXh220UNk

‘This is not I.N.D.I.A alliance, But is an arrogant alliance’ says PM Modi

“This is not an India alliance, it is an arrogant alliance. Everyone has to become the Prime Minister in this alliance,” PM Modi said.

"ये इंडिया गठबंधन नहीं, घमंडिया गठबंधन है. इसमें सबको प्रधानमंत्री बनना है"

PM Modi launched a scathing attack at the new I.N.D.I.A alliance

“Their predicament has led them to seek the aid of NDA to sustain themselves. However, their inherent disposition of arrogance continues to linger. This is evident in the insertion of two ‘I’s of arrogance within NDA. The initial ‘I’ represents the arrogance stemming from 26 parties, while the latter ‘I’ signifies the arrogance of a single family. Their actions almost seem as if they’ve appropriated NDA for themselves. This audacity is also reflected in their approach, which, regrettably, appears to have caused division – transforming ‘India’ into “I.N.D.I.A,” PM Modi underlined.

“The people of India have a deep sense of no confidence in the Congress”: PM

“The citizens of our nation lack confidence in the Congress party. Their inability to perceive reality is a consequence of their arrogance. A noteworthy pattern is observed – in Tamil Nadu, the Congress secured victory in 1962, yet since then, the people have voiced their refusal towards Congress. A parallel scenario occurred in West Bengal in 1972, and similarly, the inhabitants of that state echo the sentiment of ‘No Congress’. Furthermore, the party’s triumphs in 1985 in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Gujarat have not managed to erase the collective sentiment of ‘No Congress’ in these regions either,” PM Modi claimed.

‘Oppn ke saar par satta ki bhookh sawaar hai’: PM 

“Gareeb ki bhookh ki chinta nahi hai, Satta ki bhookh ki chinat apke saar par sawaar hai. Aapko desh ke future ki chinta nahi hai pr apne political career ki chinta hai,” PM stated.

NDA and BJP’s triumphant return in the 2024 elections: PM

PM Modi stated that the track record shows that the Opposition’s motions of no confidence have consistently worked in our favor. Presently, it’s evident that the Opposition’s decision seems to be paving the way for NDA and BJP’s triumphant return in the 2024 elections, surpassing past achievements and garnering unprecedented support from the people.

PM Modi took a jibe at the Opposition:

What discussions have you engaged in regarding this motion? I’m noticing on social media that even your supporters are quite unhappy. Although the Opposition organized it, the outcomes seem to be working in your favor, akin to scoring boundaries and sixes right from this end.
