Addressing a rally in Sikar, Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the coalition of opposition parties labelled ‘INDIA’ is hiding their sins behind the name.
Narendra Modi opened medical colleges and PM Kisan Samriddhi centers in the Sikar region of Rajasthan. He told farmers that the government would not let them suffer as a result of urea price increases. He stated that the central government has made decisions in the benefit of farmers over the past nine years, creating new arrangements for them from seed to market.

PM Modi also stated that the national government’s objective in Rajasthan is to build modern infrastructure.
UPA to INDIA – a gimmick:
In the speech at Sikar, Modi says, “ What is happening to the daughters of this nation enrages me. They are not safe here, from tiny girls to teachers. Instead of acting, Congress leaders blame the victims for lying… Rajasthan is a bold and fearless state. These are folks who yell, not plead. As a result, there is just one roar throughout the state, and every Rajasthani has only one resolve: “Behen, betiyon par atyachar, nahin sahega Rajasthan.”
He referenced the ‘red diary,’ which purportedly contained information of the government of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s ‘misdeeds’ against Dalits, debt-ridden farmers, law and order collapse, test paper leaks, and corruption in the state.
In response to the Opposition’s INDIA coalition, Modi labelled the Congress “the biggest directionless party” and the bloc moniker a ‘trick’ employed by firms that earn a negative reputation.
“The Congress and its allies changed their name from UPA to INDIA so that people would not remember the UPA’s faults… so that they may conceal their sins of kowtowing to terrorists, betraying debt-ridden farmers, and betraying the people
They once sang, “Indira is India, India is Indira,” and the people revolted. They both did the same sin out of arrogance. They believe UPA is INDIA, and INDIA is UPA, he said.
“Those who support the tukde-tukde gang, segregate Bharat on the basis of language, and form ties with other countries based on their (domestic) vote bank, for them, their vote bank is most important, not the interest of the country,” he remarked.
No- Confidence Motion:
A no-confidence motion was moved against the Central Government by a Congress member Gaurav Gogoi.
Protesting over a video showing two women being sexually attacked during ethnic conflicts in Manipur, where the BJP leads the government coalition, the opposition has demanded that the Prime Minister make a speech in Parliament about the situation in Manipur.

Lok Sabha Speaker admitted the no-confidence motion on June 26 and can take up to 10 days to schedule the discussion on the motion.
The Centre says it is ready to discuss the Manipur issue but the opposition parties grouped under the name ‘INDIA’ are stressing that the Prime Minister himself should discuss the issue in the Parliament.
It also compelled Mr. Modi to speak out against Manipur, saying that the act had “shamed India” and that the perpetrators would not be spared.
This is the second time a no-confidence motion is passed against the Narendra Modi led government. The first motion was passed in 2018 by the Telugu Desam party and some of the opposition parties backed it. But the motion was defeated it 325- 126 since the NDA ruling government had a clear majority.
Manipur Violence against Women:
A week ago, a video showing two women paraded naked in Manipur, hit by ethnic classes of the state sparked outrage in every nook and corner of India.
Conflicts between members of the Meitei and Kuki indigenous tribes have resulted in their full isolation. Around 150 people may have been killed and a large number has been displaced.
The two Kuki women were molested by males from the Meitei community.
The attack on the women occurred on May 4, but it grabbed national news two months later after the video went viral on social media. The federal government has ordered that the video be removed from all social media sites.
