Parliament updates: PM Modi terms BC, AD in terms of Congress

New Delhi, Feb 07: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Parliament on Thursday even as the Opposition wants a debate over various issues, including the farm crisis, unemployment and alleged misuse of constitutional bodies.

PM Modi said, "I wish for healthy competition in the upcoming elections. I would also like to encourage all those youth who will be voting for the first time."

While addressing the Lok Sabha, Modi said that his govt is known for honesty and it is a government for the poor.

“Our friends in the Congress see things in 2 time periods. BC, which is 'Before Congress', when nothing happened and the other, is AD -'After Dynasty'- where everything happened," PM added.

Attacking the Opposition, PM Modi said, "You want to know what is my crime for them? That I am a person born in a poor family and is challenging their 'Sultanate'.

In 55 years of their rule, sanitation coverage was around 38 per cent and in our 55 months, it is nearly 98 per cent. See Congress manifestos of 2004, 2009 and 2014. In all the manifestos you have promised that within 3 years every house will have electricity. I am amazed at this."
