He said that the Prime Minister’s aim is to make India a “developed India” and economic policies are being decided with this in mind.
Arjun Ram Meghwal said that in economic surveys it is seen how the ratio of GDP with manufacturing sector should increase, how the balance of GDP with agriculture sector should be strengthened and how the economic indicators of the country should become better. According to him, all these initiatives are being taken to give a strong direction to the country’s economy.
Meanwhile, Meghwal expressed displeasure over the behavior of the opposition during the President’s address. He said that the opposition created ruckus during the President’s speech, which is against institutional traditions. Both the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition were present in the House and most of the MPs from the ruling party and the opposition were also present. Despite this, as soon as the President started speaking, the opposition started making noise.
Arjun Ram Meghwal said that such behavior is not appropriate for democracy and it sets a wrong example. He appealed that all parties should respect the dignity and traditions of Parliament.
