Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 7 addressed the lower house of the Parliament, Lok Sabha, during the ongoing Budget session, and in his marathon speech he attacked the opposition over range of issues including surgical strikes, demonetisation and several others.
Amid uproar from the opposition parties, including the Congress, PM Modi started his address by attacking Rahul Gandhi. PM took a jibe at Rahul’s ‘earthquake’ remark and said: “Kal bhukamp aaya, kendra sarkar Rajya Sarkar ke sampark me hai. Bhukamp aa hi gaya, koi to kaaran hoga, dharti maa rooth gayi hongi (The earthquake came last night and the centre is in touch with the state government. There has to be some reason for this tremors)”
Earlier in December 2016, Rahul Gandhi while attacking PM Modi for his demonetisation move, promised that if he would allowed to speak on the issue in the Parliament then an ‘earthquake’ will come.
Following are the highlights of his speech:
- Kal bhukamp aaya, kendra sarkar Rajya Sarkar ke sampark me hai
- Bhukamp aa hi gaya, koi to kaaran hoga, dharti maa rooth gayi hongi
- Aakhir bhukamp aaya kyun,jab koi SCAM mein bhi seva,namrata ka bhaav dekhta hai to dharti maa bhi dukhi ho jaati hai aur bhukamp aata hai
- Mai aahvahan karta hu ki hum apni janshakti ko pehchaane, desh ko aagey badhane ki disha mein kaam karein
There are many people like me, who couldn’t die for nation during the freedom struggle but we are living for India & serving India: PM in LS pic.twitter.com/XTP25OhN4q

- Many statements were made by pol leaders 24hrs before surgical strike but their language changed after looking at nation’s mood
