New Delhi, Aug 15 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a frontal attack on the Opposition citing issues like illegal infiltration, disruptions in Parliament, the Indus Waters Treaty, and what he termed as “failures” of previous governments to carry out various economic reforms.
In his address to the nation from the ramparts of Red Fort on 79th Independence Day, Modi sought to foil the Opposition attack on his government over issues of welfare of backwards, language diversity and GST reforms.

to blunt the Opposition attack for allegedly ignoring justice for backwards, Modi remembered Mahatma Jyotiba Phule's principles.
“By giving priority to the backward, we want to reach the heights of transformation. We want to put in our utmost effort for this. Through transparent policies, we wish to make “priority to the backward” a reality on the ground, bringing it into the life of every backward person,” he asserted.
“We are not concerned only with socially backward groups, we also want to give priority to backward regions,” he said.
