The Prime Minister further listed many such projects in Delhi which were incomplete for many years and were taken up by the BJP government and finished before the scheduled time.
He said during the time of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the discussion of Ambedkar National Memorial started, but it was built by the BJP government after a long wait of 23 years. He said the new building of the Central Information Commission, the War Memorial near India Gate and the National Police Memorial was also built by the BJP government which were pending for a long time.
PM said that this period has been “historic” in the nation’s development. He said the period between 16th and 18th Lok Sabha (2014-29) is equally significant for a young country like India while noting that the 16 to 18 age is very important for youngsters.
On the occasion, the PM remarked that all the MPs have taken care of both the products and the process in the productivity of Parliament and have attained a new height in this direction.
He praised the Lok Sabha Speaker for his stewardship of the house in a productive and procedurally sound way. He expressed happiness that Parliament proceedings continued even during the pandemic, with new regulations and several precautionary measures. He added that both houses worked even on weekends for ensuring smooth proceedings in the Monsoon Session.
