PM Modi Slams Congress Ahead of Winter Session, Accuses Opposition of Disrespecting Parliament
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Congress today, accusing the party of disrespecting Parliament and democracy. Speaking to the media ahead of the winter session of Parliament, Modi expressed his hope for productive discussions but criticized those who, he claimed, were “repeatedly rejected by the people” and were attempting to disrupt Parliament proceedings for political gains.
“Unfortunately, some individuals, who have been rejected by the people for their own political interests, continue to control Parliament through the hooliganism of a few people,” Modi said. He stressed that the public remains vigilant, and when the time comes, they will hold these individuals accountable for their actions.
The remarks came just days after the Opposition’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) faced a crushing defeat in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition secured a resounding victory, clinching 235 seats in the 288-member House, leaving the MVA with only 49 seats.
Modi further criticized the Opposition for failing to respect the spirit of democracy, stating, “They have no responsibility towards the people and are unable to understand their aspirations. As a result, they never live up to the expectations of the public.”
The Prime Minister also emphasized the importance of Parliament in the democratic process, calling it a “special” session due to the beginning of the 75th year since the Constitution’s adoption. He urged MPs to engage in “healthy discussions” in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, ensuring that more voices are heard during debates.
Looking ahead, Modi highlighted the potential introduction of the ‘One Nation One Election’ bill, which is likely to be discussed during the session, set to run until December 20. Other key bills under consideration include the Waqf Amendment Bill, the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill, as well as amendments to the Banking Laws and the Railway Act.
PM Modi’s remarks underscore the ongoing tension between the ruling party and the Opposition, setting the stage for a contentious but crucial winter session in Parliament.
