Priyanka Gandhi Slams Modi Over No Drama in Parliament Remark
New Delhi: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “drama nahi, delivery” comment ahead of the Winter Session of Parliament and asserted that discussing issues in Parliament is essential for democracy.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the PM’s 6th Session of the 18th Lok Sabha and the 269th Rajya Sabha, the Wayanad MP said it was the primary objective of Parliament to address urgent public concerns such as Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and serious air pollution.
“There are urgent issues… Let’s discuss them. What is the use of parliament? Talking about problems is not drama. Drama is not allowing discussion,” he said.
Sources in the INDIA bloc said the member parties agreed to raise the SIR issue in both the Houses today and have taken it up as their main agenda during the Winter Session.
Priyanka Gandhi’s remarks came after Prime Minister Modi urged the Opposition to ensure a productive session, saying they appeared “indecisive” after the Bihar election defeat and should prioritize policy rather than slogans.
Modi said Parliament should focus on positive thinking and nation-building and called for “delivery, not drama” during the session.
