Prime Minister Narendra Modi said The country has rejected negativity. We consistently have discussions with opposition colleagues at the beginning of each session.

PM Modi’s statement to the media ahead of Winter Session of Parliament.

Just yesterday, the election results for four states were announced, and the results are very encouraging, he said. 

These results are encouraging for those who are committed to the well-being of the common man, and who are dedicated to the bright future of the country, especially for all sections of all societies, women from every village and city, youth from every village and city of all social groups, farmers from every community, and the poor people of my country, he said.

Those who follow the principles of empowering these four important castes and ensuring their bright future and last mile delivery of concrete plans received strong support.

When there is good governance and consistent support for public welfare, the term ‘anti-incumbency’ becomes irrelevant.

Some may call it pro-incumbency, good governance, transparency, national interest, or solid plans for public welfare, but this has been the experience that we have been witnessing consistently.

And today we are meeting in this new temple of the Parliament after such an excellent public mandate.

The cold, perhaps, is late and it is approaching very slowly, but political heat is rising rapidly.

I am urging all respected MPs to come prepared fully, discuss thoroughly on any bills presented in the House and provide the best suggestions. Because when a Member of Parliament gives a suggestion, it contains elements of practical experience. But if there is no discussion, the country misses out on those things, and that’s why I am urging (all the members for serious discussions) once again, he said.

Based on the current election results, I would like to tell my Opposition colleagues that they have a golden opportunity,Modi appealed.

Instead of planning to vent frustration over defeat (in assembly elections) in this session, if they learn from this defeat, shun the idea of negativity that has been prevalent for the past nine years, and move forward with positivity in this session, the country’s perspective towards them will change, Modi said in the statement.

A new door may open for them… and even if they are in the opposition, I am giving them good advice to come forward with positive thoughts. If we take ten steps, then you should take twelve steps while making decisions, Modi said.

Now the country does not want to wait long for its goal of development. In every section of society, there is a sentiment that we just need to move forward, he said.

I urge all respected MPs to lead the House while respecting this sentiment. This is my request to them, Modi said.
