Budget Session 2025: Key Points From PM Modi’s Speech In Lok Sabha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday addressed the Lok Sabha during the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address on the fourth day of the Budget session. He took a sharp dig at the opposition, accusing them of prioritizing personal luxuries over public welfare.

Here Are The Key Points From PM Modi’s Speech

  • Attack on Opposition:
    • Criticized leaders for conducting photo sessions in poor households for personal publicity.
    • Stated that those indulging in luxury find discussions on poverty ‘boring’.
  • Focus on Welfare Over Luxury:
    • Took a swipe at leaders focused on ‘jacuzzis and stylish showers’, contrasting it with his government’s mission to provide water to every household.
  • Dig at Rajiv Gandhi:
    • Recalled Rajiv Gandhi’s statement that only 15 paise of every rupee sent from Delhi reached the people.
    • Questioned who was taking the remaining 85 paise, emphasizing that only one party governed from panchayat to the Centre at that time.
    • Highlighted his government’s ‘Bachat bhi, Vikas bhi’ (Savings and Development) model as a solution.
  • Criticism of Past Leadership:
    • Stated that past leaders who spoke about the 21st century failed to address basic needs in the 20th century.
    • Asserted that his government used public money for nation-building, not for constructing lavish palaces (‘Sheeshmahal’).
  • Commitment to Real Development:
  • Claimed that his government did not give fake slogans to the poor but delivered tangible progress.
    • Stressed that understanding the struggles of the poor and middle class requires passion, which some leaders lack.
  • Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh’s Constitutional Rights:
    • Stated that for seven decades, these regions were deprived of their constitutional rights.
    • Called it an injustice to both the Constitution and the people.
    • Reaffirmed that his government upholds the Constitution’s principles and makes strong decisions against discrimination.
