Ram Mandir
Ordinance on Ram Mandir will be passed after legal process

Speaking on the Ram Mandir issue, PM Modi told ANI that building the temple was on the BJP's agenda and is not merely an emotive issue. He added that the BJP had promised in its manifesto to find a way to build the Ram Mandir within the ambit of the Constitution, and would pass an ordinance once the legal process is over.

Urjit Patel
What PM Modi said on Urjit Patel's resignation

PM Modi also cleared the air over former RBI Governor Urjit Patel's resignation. The Prime Minister said that Patel had been looking to resign for six-seven months and had even submitted his request in writing. PM Modi added that Patel wanted to resign because of personal reasons and that there was no political pressure on the RBI Governor to resign.

Demonetization
Demonetization wasn't a 'jhatka', says PM Modi

Speaking on the hotly-debated demonetization topic, PM Modi said that the demonetization was not a "jhatka", and had been planned well in advance. He said that the government had urged people to deposit black money a year before the demonetization was carried out. However, since very few had come forward, the step was taken to curb black money.

Surgical strikes
What PM Modi had to say about 2016 surgical strikes

The Prime Minister also spoke about the surgical strikes that were carried out against Pakistan in 2016. He said that the strikes were a big risk but had to be carried out in the interests of India's security. Modi added that the date for the surgical strikes was changed twice keeping in mind the safety and security of troops.

Pakistan
Pakistan will take time to fall into line, says Modi

PM Modi also touched upon the topic of Pakistan and terrorism. Referring to the surgical strikes, PM Modi said that Pakistan would not change its ways owing to one fight. He added that it would take a long, long time for Pakistan to fall into line. "Pakistan ko sudharne mein abhi aur samay lagega," said Modi.

Opposition
PM Modi took a dig at the Nehru-Gandhi family, Opposition

Taking a dig at the Congress and the Opposition, Modi alleged that members of the Nehru-Gandhi family were out on bail because of financial irregularities, but were using their power to suppress the truth. PM Modi also downplayed the clamour around the 'mahagathbandhan', and said that he himself was a manifestation of public love and blessings. 2019 would be about 'janta' versus 'gathbandhan', he added.
