Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi is slated to address the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address in Lok Sabha on Monday at 5 pm. This follows President Droupadi Murmu's address to the joint sitting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on January 31, marking the commencement of the Budget Session.
"In a vote of thanks opposition leader speaks first & then the PM replies to it. It will be an electoral speech & I do not expect anything from the PM. They will defame Congress, and will not speak anything on Manipur, China & rising unemployment...He will keep praising himself...," said Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.
Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on Monday resumed discussion on the motion of thanks to the President's Address with the ruling party members highlighting the achievements of the Modi government and the opposition members accusing it of "lofty claims" and "half-truths".
