2004-14 a lost decade; this one is India's: PM takes dig at Congress

The PM said people know Modi has come to their help in times of crisis

In a stinging attack on the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the trust reposed by crores of people was his protective shield which cannot be breached by abuse and allegations from his detractors.

Replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in Lok Sabha, Modi said the world was looking at India with hope amid instability in some parts of the globe due to the once-in-a-century pandemic and conflicts. “But some people who are neck deep in frustration refuse to accept India’s growth story. They cannot see the achievements of 1.4 billion Indians,”
