1.Stressing the need for a strong opposition, the Prime Minister said that dynastic politics is a cause for concern for the Democracy of India. Throwing light on the meaning of dynastic politics, PM Modi explained that a political party that runs a family, prioritizes its members, and where all decisions are taken by the family members is considered dynastic politics rather than several members of a family who are making their way forward in politics on its strength with the support of the people.
 
 
2."I appreciate the Opposition’s resolve to remain in the opposition for a long time. The way you sat here (in govt) for many decades, the same way you resolve to sit there (in opposition) The public will certainly give you their blessings", adding "the opposition may be sitting higher next time, in the visitor’s gallery".
 

3. Speaking about the Interim Budget tabled in the House in 2014 by the previous government, he pointed out that during his address, the then Finance Minister had informed about India being the 11th largest economy in terms of the size of its GDP, while today the country has reached the 5th position. Further quoting the then FM, the Prime Minister said that the nation would grow to become the 3rd largest economy in the world after the USA and China in the next 3 decades. "I assure the nation that India will become the 3rd largest economy in the world in the present government’s third term".

 
4."In the first term, we kept filling the potholes of the previous governments, in the second term we laid the foundation of a new India, in the third term we will accelerate the development of a Viksit Bharat. From North to South, from East to West, people have seen the pending projects being completed on time".

7.During his address, an Opposition MP interjected and claimed that there was nothing for minorities in the President’s Address.

What has happened to you? How long will you keep thinking about divisions? How long will you keep dividing the society?”
 
 
 
 
8.“Our third term is not far. The whole country is saying “is baar 400 paar” – even Kharge ji. I generally don’t get into numbers. But I am seeing the mood of the nation.
