Modi govt fearless and decisive, has worked for all without discrimination: President Murmu

New Delhi:  President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday said the country has a government that is “stable, fearless, decisive”, giving thrust to ‘virasat’ (heritage) as well as ‘vikas’ (development) and working for all classes without any discrimination. In her first address to the joint sitting of Parliament on the first day of the Budget session, Murmu spoke of the government’s relentless fight against corruption, the “biggest enemy of democracy and social justice”. India by 2047, she asserted, has to be a country that is self-reliant and fulfils its humanitarian obligations. The India of 2047, she said, should have no poverty with the middle class also being prosperous. The Narendra Modi-led government has always kept national interest supreme, India’s first tribal president said in her over hour-long speech.

“My decisive government has always kept the country’s interest paramount and shown the willpower to completely transform the policies and strategies when required.

“From surgical strike to a firm crackdown on terrorism, from a befitting response to every misadventure from LoC to LAC, from abrogation of Article 370 to triple talaq, my government has been recognised as a decisive government,” she said.
