People analysed our government's performance minutely and then gave us a chance to serve them again: Narendra Modi
New Delhi, June 25 (IBNS): In his reply to the 'Motion Of Thanks On the President's Address', Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said people of the country minutely analysed the performance of his government and then gave him a chance to serve them for a second term.
"People analysed our performance minutely and then gave us another chance to serve them this time," he said.
"I do not think about elections in terms of who won and who lost. For me, what is satisfying is the opportunity to serve 130 crore Indians and do work that has made a positive difference in the lives of our citizens," he said.
He said the people of the nation have elected a 'stable' government.

"The people of India have elected a stable Government. The 2019 Lok Sabha elections show that more than themselves, the people of India are thinking about the good of the nation," he said.
Modi said it is important for the nation to witness the people progressing in every sphere of life.
"We did not divert from our development path, we did not dilute our development agenda. It is important that the country progresses, every Indian is empowered and our nation has modern infrastructure. We believe in public welfare and modern infrastructure," he said.
Under Narendra Modi's leadership, BJP-led NDA government scripted a massive victory in the Lok Sabha polls this year.
Modi took oath as the PM for the second term recently.
He referred to the importance of the June 25 date when emergency was declared in the nation by former Indian PM Indira Gandhi in 1977 and siad,"The spirit of the nation was destroyed that day."
"I want to ask them- today is 25th June. Who imposed the Emergency? Who trampled over the spirit of the Constitution, gagged the media and bullied the judiciary? We can't forget those dark days," he said.
June 25 is a significant date in the history of the nation as it was on this day that ex-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had declared a state of Emergency in the country for a 21-month period from 1975 to 1977.
Tuesday marked the 44th anniversary of the 1975 Emergency.
Attacking the opposition, he said: "We think every person in the nation contributed to the progress of the country."
