Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the government will continue to undertake economic reforms like GST in the Winter Session of Parliament, which begins today. In his message ahead of the commencement of the session, PM Modi said Parliament should be used for “delivering” and not for “drama.”
“Negativity may be useful in politics. But ultimately, there should be some positive thinking for nation-building. I expect you to keep negativity within limits and focus on nation-building,” PM Modi said in his message.
“Whoever wants to do drama can do it. There should be delivery here and not drama. The emphasis should be on policy, not slogans,” Modi said.
“GST reforms have created an atmosphere of reverence among the countrymen. A lot of work will be done in that direction in this session as well,” PM Modi added.
PM Modi also referred to the recent electoral victory for the NDA in Bihar. “The record voter turnout in the recent elections in Bihar is the greatest strength of democracy. The increasing participation of mothers and sisters is, in itself, creating new hope and new confidence,” he said.
