PM Narendra Modi? concluded his Rajya Speech today with a poetic speech. He recited Urdu poet Nida Fazli's 'Safar mein dhoop toh hogi'to ask the opposition to walk along with him in his difficult journey under the scorching sun. During the hour long speech, he drew attention to his difficult situation due to bills stalled in parliament. It was an unusually soft-toned poetic Modi mixing his political predicament vis-a-vis paucity of numbers in the Rajya Sabha with literature, making a passionate appeal to the opposition to allow the government secure passage of crucial economic bills, including the Goods and Services Tax.
There was thunderous applause from his colleagues in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and allies with opposition leaders, including his predecessor Manmohan Singh, smiling, when Modi asked the opposition to change its disruptive tactics.
