Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to reply the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President Ram Nath Kovind’s address in the Lok Sabha on Monday in the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament that commenced on January 31. The address is expected to take place in the evening, reported news agency ANI.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was the first from the Opposition to reply, attacked the government alleging that two Indias, one for the rich and one for the poor, have been created and the gap between them was widening. Speaking first from the Opposition side in the Lok Sabha during the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address, he said the address to a joint sitting of Parliament didn’t touch the central challenges facing the country and was a “list of bureaucratic ideas” instead of a strategic vision.
