Taking a sharp dig at the Opposition in the Lok Sabha in response to the no-confidence motion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said, “You have divided even India I.N.D.I.A.”

PM Modi further attacked the opposition bloc INDIA, and stated, “You’re trying to pass off old vehicle as electric one just by applying new paint.”

He further said, “Their obsession with names is not new. they think by changing names they can rule the country for decades. Roads, hospitals, and schemes are named after them but the poor did not get benefits. In 1920, during India’s freedom struggle, the nation got a new flag and Congress thought that this would help them so they took the flag and they also used the surname Gandhi. Their act of stealing and making claims is going on since 1920. This is not an I.N.D.I.A. alliance but an alliance of arrogance and everyone dreams of becoming a Prime Minister in this alliance.”
