In his address, PM Modi talked about some of the achievements of his government while thanking the Speaker and other members for the proceedings in the House. He expressed confidence that his government will get a second term to complete the initiatives it had taken in the last more than four years, while hitting out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi's behaviour in the House.
The contentious Citizenship (amendment) Bill and the one on banning Triple Talaq are set to lapse on June 3 when the term of the present Lok Sabha ends as they could not be passed in the Rajya Sabha which adjourned indefinitely today.
The Budget session of the Parliament was held from January 31 to February 13. Inerim Finance minister Piyush Goyal presented the interim Budget on February 1.
