“Over 7500 public representatives have so far contributed in both the Houses. During this period, about 600 women MPs have enhanced the dignity of these Houses. Initially the number of women here was less, but gradually women have also enhanced the dignity of this House,” PM Modi added.
Earlier in the day, PM Modi remarked, “To make the country a developed nation by 2047, all the decisions for this will be taken in the new Parliament House.”
“We all are feeling an atmosphere of enthusiasm and a new confidence in the entire country. This session of Parliament is short but in terms of time it is very big. This is a session of historic decisions,” said the PM.
