The prime minister also took a dig at Roy, the Trinamool member from Dum Dum in West Bengal, when Speaker Om Birla asked him not to speak out of turn. "We should make this exception for dada. Even at this age he tries to enjoy like a child," Modi said referring to the 74-year-old Roy.

The prime minister also agreed to yield to Roy and allow him to speak just to ensure that the Trinamool leader continued to shower him with affection.

PM Modi also took a jibe at Gandhi's absence in the Lok Sabha, saying "some people scoot after speaking and others have to bear the brunt".
