PM Modi's RS Speech: An Attempt To Replace Confrontational Politics By Constructive Polity

Bharat is going through one of the toughest times in the recent years. The Prime Minister laid bare the ‘politics’ of farm laws as he pointed out the U-turn taken by the Opposition on the issue of agricultural reforms and even the recently enacted laws. On India’s Covid-19 fight, the Prime Minister’s stand of appreciating the combined efforts of the Centre and the State governments, cutting across political lines, was significant. The Prime Minister also underlined the fact that India has taken a lead in global efforts to fight this pandemic through its pharmaceutical sector’s efforts as India is not only vaccinating its own people at the fastest pace in the world but also providing these vaccines to any other country that wants it. Addressing the issue of a conspiracy to malign India through various foreign fuelled protests and agitations, the Prime Minister invoked Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, the “first prime minister of Azad Hind Fauz”, while defining Indian nationalism.
