I want a situation where a farmer never has to be debt-ridden in the first place: PM @narendramodi
There is a small segment of farmers who take loans from banks. A majority of them take loans from money lenders. When governments make such announcements, those farmers do not become beneficiaries of waivers. The farmers who are dying are out of the purview of such schemes: PM

After the judicial process is over, whatever be our responsibility as government, we are ready to make all efforts: PM @narendramodi

The first test of the alliance was in Telangana and we have seen what has happened to the alliance.

What happened to the alliance in Tripura, Assam. Everybody can see.
Their top leaders can close ranks but the people will never connect with this: PM @narendramodi

On the surgical strikes, there are some political parties who began to speak the same language as Pakistan.

Pakistan will never improve on the basis of one war.
