PM Modi Bids Vice President Farewell; Says “His One-Liners Were Win-Liners”

As the Rajya Sabha said goodbye to its Chairman today, PM Narendra Modi praised Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu’s “diligent” work ethic. He never saw labour as a hardship, according to Prime Minister Modi. The Prime Minister remarked: “His verbal talents have always been great, and your one-liners are wit-liners too. He speaks from a place of depth and substance.”

On Wednesday, Mr Naidu leaves his position, and on August 11, his successor, Jagdeep Dhankhar, will take the oath of office. The outgoing Chairman, according to Prime Minister Modi, encouraged discussion in the Upper House and left behind “standards and a legacy” that will continue to direct his successors. The Prime Minister also commended Mr Naidu for his contribution to boosting Rajya Sabha’s productivity and emphasised his love of Indian languages. “During Mr Naidu’s term, Rajya Sabha productivity jumped 70% and MP attendance has also increased,” PM Modi claimed.
