NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday laid emphasis on the importance of clear mandate for a ‘full-majority’ Government and said this was single biggest reason for the country’s prestige to have gone up in the past few years.
“In the comity of nations, India is taken seriously these days. There need not be any doubt that this is happening because of Modi or Sushma Swaraj(External Affairs Minister). The reality is something else and the reason is for the first time in 30 years there came a government with full majority in 2014,” the Prime Minister said at the valedictory session of the 16th Lok Sabha.
“The world recognises the Government with full majority…the fractured mandate in 30 years has often made the country face awkward situation globally,” he said, adding when a leader goes abroad with full mandate Government behind him, he gets different kind of respect.
“When such a leader goes abroad, the world knows that this man has mandate behind him,” Mr Modi said in presence of senior parliamentarians L K Advani, Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
“This is a big difference I have experience in the last five years and the credit for this goes to 125 crore people and not to Modi or Sushma Swaraj for their decision to vote for a stable Government in 2014,” he said.
