Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, replying to the Motion of Thanks on the Presidential address. He emphasized India's growing global prominence, citing recent trade deals with the EU and US as evidence of the world's confidence in India's economic stability and speed. Modi criticized the Opposition, particularly Congress, for past governance failures and divisive politics. He highlighted his government's "reform, perform, transform" approach and stressed the importance of the current quarter-century as decisive for building 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India). The PM condemned Opposition members for using "pathetic language" against the President and defended his administration's policies on national security, economic progress, and infrastructure development, including completion of the Sardar Sarovar dam.
