In a sharp message to the opposition, Prime Minister PM Narendra Modi has called for a shift in focus within the Parliament. Addressing the media before the winter session, PM Narendra Modi urged opposition parties to channel their energies towards constructive policy discussions rather than venting frustration over electoral defeats. Let’s delve deeper into this significant statement and its implications for Indian politics.
PM Modi’s Critique of Opposition Tactics
PM Narendra Modi didn’t hold back in his criticism, suggesting that some parties are using Parliament as a mere extension of state politics and as a platform to “warm up” before upcoming elections. He emphasized that the legislative body should be a place for “delivery, not drama,” highlighting the need for serious policy debates over disruptive tactics.

Addressing the Demand for Debate on SIR
With the opposition insisting on a debate regarding the SIR (Systematic Investment Plan), PM Narendra Modi countered by expressing his disappointment that these parties hadn’t reassessed their strategies since the Bihar election results. He pointed out that similar protests had previously disrupted parliamentary proceedings, underscoring the importance of Parliament as a forum for policy discussion rather than raising slogans.
Call for Constructive Contribution to Nation-Building
PM Narendra Modi stressed that while negativity might have a limited role in politics, the opposition should strive to contribute positively to nation-building by raising pertinent issues. He cited the high voter turnout in the Bihar polls and the country’s strong economic growth as evidence of India’s democratic strength.
Hopes for a Productive Winter Session
The Prime Minister expressed his concern that repeated disruptions in Parliament prevent first-time MPs from effectively raising issues and showcasing their work. He voiced his hope that this winter session would serve as a catalyst for progress rather than being viewed as a mere formality. PM Narendra Modi hopes that the winter session will be more productive.
