President’s speech, a repeat of previous years: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi raised concerns about unemployment, stressing that the future of the country depends on the youth.
He said the government has failed to address the unemployment issue despite the country’s growth.
He pointed out that manufacturing’s share of GDP has dropped from 15.3 per cent to 12.6 per cent, the lowest in the past 60 years. Mr Gandhi also criticized the government’s flagship ‘Make in India’ initiative, saying it had a good concept but failed in implementation.
He added that, despite India’s resources, the country has fallen behind others in organizing production and emphasized the need to focus on production. He concluded by reaffirming that the Constitution is supreme and will continue to guide the country.
He attacked the AAP-led Delhi government for allegedly failing to implement central schemes like Ayushman Bharat and the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in the capital. Bidhuri also accused the Delhi government of working against the interests of JJ colonies.
He mentioned steps taken by the central government to provide ownership rights to residents of 1,700 unauthorized colonies in Delhi. Mr Bidhuri also raised issues of poor road conditions, air pollution, and public transport in the city. He further accused former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal of lavish spending on his official residence.
Other MPs also raised concerns during the discussion. Naresh Chandra Uttam Patel of the SP pointed out the absence of a mention of the Minimum Support Price, MSP guarantee in the President’s address.
Dr Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar of the TMC criticized the omission of food inflation and farm loan waivers.

Kanimozhi of DMK, JD(U)’s Dileshwar Kamait, IUML’s ET Mohammed Basheer, RLD’s Rajkumar Sangwan, BJP’s Ganesh Singh, Pratap Chandra Sarangi, Rodmal Nagar, and RJD’s Abhay Kumar Sinha.
