Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah said that he was hoping that Modi would use his mandate to find a solution to the Kashmir issue. “I had hoped this government’s mandate would allow Modi to achieve what Atal Bihari Vajpayee couldn’t.”
TMC's Dinesh Trivedi said that India's economic growth projections are rosy because the government changed its methodology. He said while the GDP forecast is over 7 percent, in reality it is under 5 percent.

The Speaker has requested members to maintain the decorum of the Parliament and to not cite facts and figures that are unverified on the floor.
Rahul Gandhi then continues with his speech.
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan had to adjourn the house till 1:45 PM after Parliamentary proceedings were disrupted by a huge uproar.
Rahul Gandhi’s vicious allegations about the Modi government favouring businessmen over the common people and of the Prime Minister “not being truthful” resulted in heated arguments across the members of BJP and the opposition parties.
The Congress chief said that the government rejected to waive farm loans and yet chose to write-off corporate debt.
Gandhi also criticised the renegotiation of the Rafale deal with France and the rollout of the Goods and Services tax, which he said was something the Congress envisaged.

Today is an important day in our Parliamentary democracy. I am sure my fellow MP colleagues will rise to the occasion and ensure a constructive, comprehensive & disruption free debate. We owe this to the people & the makers of our Constitution. India will be watching us closely.
