It is all on record.

Modi also countered Congress president Rahul Gandhi claims of rising unemployment, said more than 1 crore jobs have been created in the last year alone, hence of campaign of lack of jobs needs to stop now.
While asked about the no-confidence motion during the Parliament monsoon session and the reported clash between BJP and its allies, PM Modi said, "the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha and the election for the deputy chairperson of the Rajya Sabha" were two events which were enough to provide answers on this issue. The outcome of these events should indicate which coalition is intact and which is falling apart. In fact, we got support even from those parties which are not our allies. BJP has consistently expanded (its) base over (the) recent years among people and welcomed more allies to NDA."
