PM Narendra Modi’s speech revolved around numerous crucial issues, with the highlight being his slogan '‘Unity in Diversity, India’s speciality’. He highlighted the ruling establishment giving 40 lakh people the right to own their own houses. PM also spoke about the advancement in the improvement of transport in Delhi, specifically talking about the Delhi Metro. The Prime Minister narrated the efforts taken by the government, like the installation of CNG stations to tackle air pollution.
He, however, slammed the Arvind Kejriwal government over the failure to provide clean water to Delhites. PM Modi also fumed at the rumours regarding the implementation of the CAA, asking why the critics were misleading the Muslims of the country. He questioned the Congress for being responsible for introducing the bill many decades ago and that it was a promise made by the then government. In no uncertain terms, he expressed his anger at the violence in the anti-CAA protests. He also slammed West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for opposing the CAA, though she herself had raised concerns over the infiltration from Bangladesh.
