VIDEO | "It's a great privilege for me that people of this country have given me the opportunity to reply on the Motion of Thanks on President's address for the 14th time. So, today I also thank the public and those who participated in the discussion in the House," says PM Modi (@narendramodi).
#ParliamentBudgetSession
VIDEO | "We are in 2025; we can say that 25% part of the 21st century has passed away. Time will decide what happened after the Independence in 20th century and in the first 25 years of 21st century. However, if we analyse the President's address, it is clear that it has a new confidence for the coming 25 years and 'Viksit Bharat'. President's address gives strength to the resolve of Viksit Bharat and one that inspires the common people," says PM Modi (@narendramodi).
EXCLUSIVE | VIDEO: “For 10 years, I was not given an opportunity to meet Sonia Gandhi one-on-one. I was not given an opportunity, except once, of spending any meaningful time with Rahul Gandhi. And I have not spent time with Priyanka except on one occasion, no, two occasions. She comes on the phone to me, so I’m in touch with them. So, the irony of my life is that my political career was made by the Gandhis and unmade by the Gandhis. And I take it that this is what happens… I have got used to being out of the party. I am still a member of the party. I’ll never shift, and I will certainly not go to the BJP,” senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar told PTI in an exclusive conversation, as he recalled an instance when he had to call Priyanka Gandhi to wish Rahul Gandhi on his behalf.
EXCLUSIVE | VIDEO: “…As I was walking out, I said Ma’am, Merry Christmas. And she says, ‘I’m not a Christian.’ Naturally, I was completely taken aback. But I think she does not see herself as a Christian. Like I don’t see myself as belonging to any particular religion. I am a non-believer, and I’m quite ready to say that. But, being a non-believer doesn’t mean I disrespect religions. What it means is that I respect all religions equally,” senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar tells PTI while recalling an instance when he wished Sonia Gandhi on Christmas and how she replied.
EXCLUSIVE | VIDEO: “You see, in 2012, we had two disasters taking place: one was that Sonia Gandhi fell very ill, and Dr Manmohan Singh had six bypasses. So, we were crippled at the head of the government and at the head of the party. But there was one man who was still full of energy, full of ideas, had a certain amount of charisma, and could have run either the party or the government or even both. And that was Pranab Mukherjee. So, Pranab Mukherjee says in his own biography, what I had guessed at that time, that he was hoping that he would be made Prime Minister in place of Dr Manmohan Singh and that Dr Manmohan Singh would be given due respect as the President of India, as somebody who had made a huge contribution to the development of our country. And if that had happened, if Dr Manmohan Singh had become the President and Pranab had become the PM, I still think we would have lost in 2014 (Lok Sabha polls), but not by this massive humiliating defeat that we actually had, where we fell to 44 seats…” senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar tells PTI on mentioning in his book that Pranab Mukherjee should have been made the Prime Minister and Dr Manmohan Singh the President.
