PM Modi’s attack Congress ahead of Winter Session

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched an all-out attack on Congress, saying those who were “repeatedly rejected by people disrespect Parliament and democracy”. Addressing the media ahead of the start of the winter session of Parliament, he said he was “hoping for healthy discussions”.

“Some people who have been rejected by the people are constantly trying to control the Parliament through hooliganism by a handful of people. The people of the country count all their actions and when the time comes, they also punish them,” he said two days after the Opposition’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) took a massive drubbing in the Maharashtra Assembly elections.

“Those who have been continuously rejected by the people 80-90 times do not allow discussions to take place in the Parliament,” he said. The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition on Saturday registered a landslide victory in the Maharashtra elections, clinching 235 seats and reducing the MVA to a distant 49 seats in the 288-member House.
