'President's address reflects government commitment to rural welfare'

Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on Tuesday said that the President's address to parliament on Tuesday reflected richly the Modi government's work for development of the rural poor and the under-privileged.

"President's address reflects Modi government's commitment to the welfare of villages, poor, farmers and youth. It gives confidence to the nation that the government which started with 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas', is on right track," Javadekar said in his tweets.

He requested all political parties to let parliament transact its business smoothly during the Budget session.

"To repay the debt of freedom fighters, all parliamentarians are duty bound to ensure smooth running of parliament. Congress is desperate, depressed and is not reconciled that it is not in power," Javadekar said.

"Last 2 Paras of president's address are important. He asserted that running of Parliament is everybody's responsibility," Javadekar said in another tweet.
