Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday (27-Feb-2015) broke his silence in Parliament to denounce communalism and to assert that his government stood for prospering of all religions while he offered to make changes if necessary in the land bill in farmers' interest.
In a 75-minute speech in the Lok Sabha, combining aggression against the Congress with appeals to the opposition, he declared that as Prime Minister, it was his responsibility not to allow ridiculous comments on religion or discrimination on religious basis.
The Prime Minister was particularly severe on the Congress on its pet scheme MNREGS calling it a "living monument" of poverty in the country even 60 years after independence.
"Do you think, I will put an end to the scheme. My political wisdom does not allow me to do it. This is a living monument of your failure to tackle poverty in 60 years. With song and dance and drum beat, I will continue with the scheme," he amidst thumping of desks by the ruling benches and consternation among the Congress members.
