New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha on Monday took up discussion on Motion of Thanks to President Droupadi Murmu’s address following other scheduled businesses even as the Upper House witnessed uproarious scenes on the third day of the Budget session of the Parliament.
Speaking during the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address, BJP leader Kiran Choudhry said that the President in her address encapsulated the vision for India where youth, women, farmers, common man and all the citizens of the country have the best opportunity to flourish.
“Farmers have always been the backbone of our nation and the government has taken monumental steps to double the incomes and to improve their lifestyles,” she said as she spoke in support of the Motion of Thanks.
BJP MP Neeraj Shekhar listed out the achievements of the government and highlighted the success of various schemes.
“Today there are about five expressways in Uttar Pradesh. An expressway is being built with an estimated cost of Rs 6,000 crore Ballia,” he said highlighting the development works being undertaken by the government.
Earlier during the day as the House began its proceedings, Opposition members demanded a discussion on stampede in Maha Kumbh but their plea was rejected by Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.
