You Have Decided NDA, BJP Will Return In 2024 LS Polls, Breaking All Records: PM Modi Slams Opposition

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took a potshot at opposition parties, saying it is blessing of the God that opposition have brought a no-confidence motion against his government and that NDA and BJP will come back with a grand victory, breaking all previous records in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Replying to the debate in the Lok Sabha on the no-confidence motion, he said that people have repeatedly shown trust in the government.

"People of the country have shown trust in our government again and again. I am here to show my gratitude to the crores of the people of the country," he said.

The Prime Minister recalled that back in 2018, the opposition parties had also introduced a no-confidence motion against his government, just before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. He said, "God is very kind and speaks through some medium...I believe that it's the blessing of God that opposition has brought this motion. I had said during the no-confidence motion in 2018 that it was not a floor test for us but a floor test for them and as a result they lost in the elections..."

PM Modi mentioned that he had conveyed to the opposition parties that this was essentially a test of their strength on the floor. He pointed out that during the 2018 no-confidence motion, they couldn't even gather the number of votes that matched their own numerical count.

"In a way, Opposition's No Confidence has always been lucky for us. Today, I can see that you (Opposition) have decided that NDA and BJP will come back in 2024 elections with a grand victory, breaking all previous records, with the blessings of the people," he said. Debate on no-confidence motion started on Tuesday.
