Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday addressed the nation ahead of the Winter Session of Parliament, urging Opposition parties to focus on ensuring a productive session for the people.
Taking a swipe at the Opposition, he said they appeared “unsettled” after their defeat in the Bihar elections and called on them to set aside differences and work together to pass sound policies and laws, avoiding a repeat of the monsoon session
washout.
“I would request that everyone thinks about the issues at hand. There is a lot of place for doing drama… Here there should be delivery, not drama,” PM Modi said.
He stressed that while negativity may work in politics, nation-building requires positive thinking, adding that negativity should be set aside. Modi encouraged the Opposition to raise strong and relevant issues, expressing surprise that they had not yet moved past their election loss.
