NEW DELHI: In a bold and fierce move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing assault on the no-confidence motion that had been tabled by an alliance of Opposition parties. This fiery exchange took place during the latest gathering of the BJP Parliamentary meeting.
Emerging from the meeting, Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Arjun Ram Meghwal, took to the podium to elaborate on Prime Minister Modi's impassioned address. He proclaimed that the alliance of "arrogant" Opposition parties had concocted this no-confidence motion in an attempt to gauge the strength of their own unity. Prime Minister Modi's response was stern, questioning the very essence of the motion, as the BJP held a majority in both parliamentary houses. He further remarked on the hesitancy of the alliance members, highlighting their uncertainty by terming them "arrogant".
The events of the previous day's experiment in the Rajya Sabha were not spared from discussion. Meghwal pointedly noted that the alliance's foray in the Rajya Sabha on Monday had revealed a stark lack of cohesion within its ranks.
As the meeting unfolded on Tuesday, Prime Minister Modi rallied the BJP MPs, beseeching them to rally behind the causes of "Corruption Quit India", "Parivaarvad Quit India," and "Appeasement or Vote Bank Politics Quit India," all slated to begin on August 9th.
In a poignant directive, Prime Minister Modi designated August 14 as "Partition Day." The nation would witness seminars taking place nationwide, shining a spotlight on the tragic history of partition. Symbolic silent processions would wind their way through various regions, paying homage to the past.
A call for unity resounded as every BJP MP received an earnest plea from the Prime Minister to wholeheartedly engage in the "Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan" (Every Home, a Tricolor Campaign) and the "Amrit Kalash Yatra" (Sacred Urn Pilgrimage). The nation's political landscape was thus set to experience a wave of fervor and commitment.
