Opposition no-confidence motion falls flat after PM Modi's scathing rebuttal

The no-confidence motion brought by the Opposition to corner the government over the violence in Manipur and to seek a response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi fell flat on Thursday after members of the Congress and its allies staged a walkout amid a scathing point-by-point rebuttal from PM Modi. 

For over two hours, the Prime Minister slammed the Opposition for coming unprepared for a debate of this nature and misguiding the people of the country with their appeasement and agenda-driven politics.

Here are highlights of what transpired through Day 3 of the ill-fated no-confidence motion:

Their obsession with names is not new, they think by changing names they can rule the country for decades. Roads, hospitals, and schemes are named after them but the poor did not get benefits.
