Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, while addressing the last sitting of 17th Lok Sabha, said that the last five years of BJP’s tenure were about “reform, perform and transform” in the country.
He said that during this Lok Sabha’s term, decisions for which many generations waited for long were taken, citing the examples of the abrogation of Article 370, criminalising instant triple talaq, passage of women reservation bill.
“It is very rare that both reform and perform take place and we can see transformation right in front of our eyes…The country is experiencing this through the 17th Lok Sabha and I firmly believe that the country will continue to bless the 17th Lok Sabha,” the PM said.
Many game-changing reforms which will lay foundation of strong India took place in last five years, the PM said.
The PM also said that the 17th Lok Sabha has 97 per cent productivity and it was over 100 per cent in seven sessions.
Speaking in the new Parliament building, PM Modi said, “The new Parliament building encapsulates our heritage and the spirit of independence that we first experienced in 1947. The sacred Sengol will serve as a reminder to our future generations of the ideals we uphold, inspiring them during challenging times.”
On discussions on Ayodhya’s Ram Temple in Parliament, the prime minister said that the resolution passed in Lok Sabha on the Ram temple will give the future generation a chance to be “proud of the country’s values”.
India received the opportunity of G20 presidency, the PM said and every state of the country displayed India’s capability and their own identity before the world. “Its impact continues on the mind of the world even to this day,” he said.
