During the final session of the 17th Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflected on the transformative journey of the past five years, encapsulating it as a period of ‘reform, perform, and transform’ for the nation. Expressing gratitude, particularly to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, PM Modi highlighted the resilience displayed by the Parliament amidst the challenges, notably the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated innovative modes of operation.

Addressing the transition to the new Parliament building, PM Modi reminisced about the inauguration of the Sengol, marking a significant milestone in the institution’s history. He underscored the historic decisions made during the term of the 17th Lok Sabha, including the abrogation of Article 370, a long-awaited move that he believed would be blessed by the framers of the Constitution.

Emphasizing the principle of ‘minimum government, maximum governance,’ PM Modi advocated for a governance model that empowers citizens and minimizes state intervention in their lives, fostering a culture of trust and responsibility. He recounted legislative achievements such as the passage of the triple talaq bill and the initiation of the women’s reservation bill, symbolizing progress toward gender equality and inclusive representation.
