Sonia terms Modi speech as old rhetoric, Rahul says it was weak
New Delhi, July 21 : UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi described Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech during no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha as an "old rhetoric" and Congress President Rahul Gandhi said it was "weak". The Congress party termed his speech as "dramebaazi" (theatrics).
The Modi government on Friday passed the no-confidence motion moved by the opposition with an overwhelming majority, with the government getting 325 out of a total 451 votes.
Only 126 MPs voted in favour of the motion.
Soon after the government won the no-confidence motion, Modi said that the NDA has the confidence of 125 crore people.
"NDA has the confidence of the Lok Sabha and the 125 crore people of India. I thank all the parties that supported us in the vote. Our efforts to transform India and fulfil the dreams of our youth will continue. Jai Hind!," he said in a tweet.
Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said: "We posed questions to Prime Minister Modi on Rafael deal, Nirav Modi but he didn't answer any.
"His speech was 'dramebaazi' (theatrics). He didn't say anything for people of Andhra Pradesh. He was saying what previous governments had done and not what his government has done in four years," he said.

Man accused of rape-murder of 5-year-old lynched to death in Bengal; Girl’s body found in pond
Alipurduar: A 40-year-old man accused of raping and murdering a five-year-old girl was allegedly tied to a tree and beaten to death by agitated locals in Alipurduar district located in West Bengal on Friday evening. Later, another man surrendered before the police claiming he was also involved in the crime, and was subsequently arrested.
The girl went missing on Friday evening. When her family began searching for the girl, they learned that she had last been seen with Mona Roy, as reported by the Indian Express.
The police said that the girl’s body was found floating in a local pond. They added that the locals caught Roy and took him to his residence where they allegedly noticed blood on the bed. Enraged by this, they tied Roy to a tree and started assaulting him.
Roy was beaten to death before the local police could reach the spot.
When the police arrived at the scene, angry locals prevented them from moving the two bodies. Eventually, a large team of police personnel was sent to the location. After two hours, they were able to remove the bodies from the area.
The bodies have been sent for a post-mortem examination.
