Rural electrification in 18,000 villages could have been done by previous governments as well, but they couldn't. Most of these states are part of north-east India inhabited by Dalits, minorities and others. Why were they not provided with development earlier? Because it did not fulfill their electoral interests.

Some said Modi won’t be able to stand for more than 15 minutes in the House, I am standing here and I am proud of the work that I have done.

This is not a floor test for the government, it is a floor test for the Congress and its so-called friends and allies. No confidence motion is a rouse to keep their flock together. The only aim is to remove a single Modi. Trust your allies and friends just as much you distrust the government: Narendra Modi
