The Prime Minister recalled that the opposition parties had brought a no-confidence motion against his government in 2018 also ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
“God is very kind and speaks through some medium…I believe that it’s the blessing of God that the opposition has brought this motion. I had said during the no-confidence motion in 2018 that it was not a floor test for us, but a floor test for them and, as a result, they lost in the elections…”
