The Congress and other opposition parties are aiming to corner the Modi government, which is back in power for the third consecutive term but with the support of its allies, over the alleged corruption in entrance examinations like NET and NEET, deadly train accident in West Bengal, Manipur violence, the alleged exit poll-stock market scam.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge says, "PM Modi made a longer than usual customary address today. Clearly, even after moral and political defeat, the arrogance remains !
"The nation was hoping that Modi ji would say something on many important issues."

While the Opposition is trading charges against the Modi government for allegedly destroying democracy, the Prime Minister on Monday reminded the Congress of the 1975 Emergency, which was called by then premier, late Indira Gandhi.
The Prime Minister said, "Tomorrow is June 25. For those who are dedicated to the dignity of the Constitution of this country, those who have faith in the democratic traditions of India, June 25 is an unforgettable day.
"Tomorrow, on June 25, it will be 50 years since the black spot was put on Indian democracy. The new generation of India will never forget that the Constitution was completely rejected, India was turned into a prison, and democracy was completely suppressed."
कल 25 जून है। जो लोग इस देश के संविधान की गरिमा पर समर्पित हैं, जो लोग भारत की लोकतांत्रिक परंपराओं पर निष्ठा रखते हैं, उनके लिए 25 जून न भूलने वाला दिवस है।

Countering the Prime Minister, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said, "Modi-ji is giving advice to the Opposition. He is reminding us of the 50 year old Emergency, but has forgotten the last 10 years of undeclared Emergency which was ended by the people."
प्रधानमंत्री मोदी जी ने अपने customary शब्द आज ज़रुरत से ज़्यादा बोले। इसे कहते हैं, रस्सी जल गई, बल नहीं गया।
