Narendra Modi’s Idea of India resonates in Lok Sabha


“I thank everyone for the interest shown in the constitution debate and the support it got.”


He further added,

“Some people have this wrong idea, maybe out of habit, that PM will respond to everything in the end. But I am speaking now, expressing my views, just as any other person here did. The spirit of this (Constitution)debate is not “you” or “I”, it is “We”.”
PM on Constitution

“A nation like India is diverse, and the Constitution has the power to bind us all.”

“We need to consistently educate people about the strengths and importance of the constitution. We can never talk enough on Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s contribution towards making our Constitution. It must have been difficult to form a Constitution for a nation as diverse as India.”

“If Constitution simply becomes a document to be followed by the Government then democracy will suffer, that’s why it needs to reach the roots.”
PM on Babasaheb

“If someone has to criticise Government,or defend oneself or be neutral, all quote Baba Saheb Ambedkar. B R Ambedkar’s thoughts and teachings have been valid, true, and applicable to all generations, of any given time. B R Ambedkar faced insults all his life, it colours a person’s intentions. But no where in Constitution does any of that reflect.”

PM on Nehru

“When Lohia told Nehru that his policies weren’t working, Nehru stood up and said “I cant deny those facts”. That was his maturity.”

PM on Democracy

“Grievance redressal systems give strength to a democracy.”

“When corruption is at peak a JP is born.”

“It is important to strengthen rights and it is as important to strengthen duties.”

“In a democracy, consensus is what gives the greatest strength.”

“To strengthen our democracy, it is important for people to know about the aspects of our Constitution.”
PM on his Government

“Don’t remember any Prime Minister saying from the Red Fort that this nation is what it is due to contribution of all Governments and Prime Ministers this nation has seen.”

“In this House there are more number of people sitting on one side but that doesn’t mean they can force their views and opinions on others.”

“800 million youngsters…what can be better than that. We have to create opportunities for them.”

“Our focus must be on how our Constitution can help the Dalits, the marginalised and the poor.”

“The nation will run only according to the Constitution.”

“Government only has one religion, “India First”. Government has only one religious book, ‘Constitution’.”
