Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on Monday before the Winter Session of Parliament. He said India does not just follow democracy. He said the country truly lives it. Modi added that recent elections proved that democracy delivers results.

Modi targets Opposition after Bihar defeat

PM Modi took a clear dig at the Opposition after its loss in Bihar. He asked Opposition leaders not to lose their balance because of election results. He urged them to make the Winter Session productive.

At the same time, he warned his own alliance. He told them not to become arrogant after their big victory.

“No drama please” in Parliament

Modi sent a direct message to Opposition leaders. He said, “Don’t do drama in Parliament, but deliver.” He said he expected them to accept the Bihar loss by now. However, their recent statements showed they were still unsettled.

He also said he was ready to give them tips. He told them to change their strategy and improve their performance in the future.

NDA wins big in Bihar

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance won the Bihar Assembly elections. It secured 202 out of 243 seats. The Congress-led Mahagathbandhan, also known as the INDIA bloc, won only 35 seats.

This result gave the ruling alliance a strong boost at the national level.

Winter Session may see tension

The Winter Session began on Monday. It will end on December 19. The government plans to introduce 10 new Bills. It also wants to hold a discussion on 150 years of “Vande Mataram”.

However, the Opposition is demanding a debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The government has not clearly agreed to this demand.

Opposition pushes hard on SIR

On Sunday, leaders met in an all-party meeting and in Business Advisory Committee meetings of both Houses. In these meetings, the Opposition kept asking for a debate on SIR.

Samajwadi Party leader Ramgopal Yadav warned that the House would not function without this discussion. Other leaders said the government would be responsible if Parliament did not run properly.

Government promises smooth functioning

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju responded after the meeting. He said no leader openly threatened to stop the House from functioning.

He said, "On behalf of government, I assure that we will continue to discuss in order to run smoothly. In democracy, there are differences between the parties. Despite differences, the House should not be disturbed to improve productivity,”

He assured that the government would keep talking to all sides to ensure a smooth and productive session.
