Parliament’s Winter Session: Has PM Modi Offered Tip To Opposition?

The Prime Minister stated that sometimes negative can work in politics, but eventually a positive mindset and thought process are needed for nation building.

“It is possible that negativity can work in politics but ultimately positive thinking is needed for nation building. Negativity should be kept aside and nation building should be the focus,” PM Modi said.

He urged the Opposition to highlights and raise relevant and strong issues, expressing that parties like – Congress and RJD – could have gotten over their recent defeat in Bihar, but clearly, they are still unsettled.

“The opposition should also raise strong, relevant issues in Parliament. They should come out of being upset (from their election defeat) and participate. I thought that it has been a long time since Bihar elections, so they would have composed themselves, but yesterday it seemed that defeat has clearly affected them,” he said.

The PM further requested all parties to not turn the Winter Session a battleground for frustration born out of defeat. It should also not turn into an arena for arrogance born out of victory.

“This session should focus on issues like what Parliament is thinking for the country, what Parliament wants to do for the country, and what Parliament is going to do for the country. The opposition should also fulfill its responsibility and raise strong issues in the discussion,” PM Modi said.
