“The productivity of the 17th Lok Sabha was nearly 97 per cent. We are moving towards the end of the 17th Lok Sabha, and we resolve that the productivity should go beyond 100 per cent in the 18th Lok Sabha,” he said.
In his address, the prime minister said that during this Lok Sabha's term, several decisions for which many generations waited for long were taken. “Article 370 was also abrogated during this Lok Sabha's term... I feel that those who drafted the Constitution would bless us for this,” he said.

Modi also pointed out that the resolution passed in Lok Sabha on the Ayodhya Ram temple will give the future generation a chance to be proud of the country's values.
"Lok Sabha elections are not far away, and some people might be worried about them. They (elections) are an important aspect of democracy and we should accept it," he said.
Modi also said that the new Parliament building started its journey with the women's reservation bill. "The coming 25 years are very crucial for the country. On one hand, there are political aspirations, on the other there are dreams for the country," PM Modi said adding that India will be ‘Vikshit Bharat’ (Developed India) in the next 25 years.
