Stating that the time was ripe for doing more development and reforms, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday described the Budget Session as a “winner” for the Treasury Benches, saying the BJP put up an impressive show in State Assembly polls as the hope generated by his Government in 2014 has now transformed into a confidence among the masses.
A day before the conclusion of the Parliament Session, the Prime Minister said the Government was able to secure passage of many key Bills in Parliament.
Addressing the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting here, Modi sought the speeding up of the reform and development agenda as he said public mood was “positive” and in favour of the BJP Government which was on a right track in its third year running.
“This is a golden opportunity for us to lift the lives of the poor, the deprived...This is the time for doing more development and reforms,” he said.
The BJP MPs were informed about a one-month programme to celebrate the Government’s third anniversary from May 24.
A committee, with Union Ministers M Venkaiah Naidu and Piyush Goyal, is to detail the activities marking the completion of three years of the Modi Government.
Briefing mediapersons, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said that Modi called the session very constructive with the lok Sabha passing 21 Bills and the Rajya Sabha 14. These include the GST Bills and also the politically important OBC Bill.
The Prime Minister mentioned the BJP scoring a massive win in Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls during the session. The hope his Government had generated among the masses in 2014 has turned into confidence, Kumar said quoting Modi.
lauding the Prime Minister, Naidu referred to the Monday dinner meeting of 33 NDA constituents in which important allies like Parkash Singh Badal of Akali Dal and Chandrababu Naidu of TDP spoke about Modi’s “transformative” leadership.
