Can give tips on how to perform: PM Modi tells opposition Parliament is not for drama, urges to rise above frustration of defeat

PTC News Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday urged the opposition not to turn Parliament into battleground. PM Modi further said that if required he can also give tips on how to perform their official duties. 

While delivering his customary address to the media ahead of the Winter session, PM Modi slammed the Opposition for their tactics to interrupt House proceedings in the past, saying the MPs "should change their strategy" now.

"The game the Opposition have been playing for the past 10 years is no longer acceptable to the people. They should change their strategy - I am ready to give them a few tips," the Prime Minister said.

He further highlighted that first-time MPs should also be given chance as they complain of unable to voice concerns about their respective constituencies. 

"First-time MPs, irrespective of their party, must be given a chance, and we should take this seriously. There are many places to do drama. There is space for that - but not here," he said.

The Prime Minister noted that while negativity sometimes helped in politics, he appealed to the Opposition members to instead focus on nation-building.

"There are many places to do drama and sloganeering. You have done that at the places where you have been defeated and will again do so where you are going to be defeated. Negativity might sometimes help in politics, but I expect them to focus on nation-building," he said.
