New Delhi, June 26 -- As Parliament green lighted the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tore into the Indian National Congress in the Opposition-dominated Rajya Sabha and accused it of shifting blame for failure on Electronic Voting Machines.

Replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks in the Council of States, the PM slammed the Congress for averring that the country had lost in these elections and asserted that the defeat of the party could not be the nation's loss.

Accusing the Congress of obstructing legislations in the Rajya Sabha over the past five years, he asked it to introspect as the people had handed them a drubbing in these elections for stalling development.
