Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday urged all the political parties who will be participating in the 6th session (winter session) of the 18th Lok Sabha and 269th Rajya Sabha to not turn the session of Parliament into a "battleground for frustration born out of defeat" or an "arena for arrogance born out of victory". The Prime Minister further emphasised that Parliament must remain focused on national development and democratic responsibilities.

While addressing the media at the Parliament premises ahead of the session`s commencement, the Prime Minister referenced the BJP-led NDA alliance`s landslide victory in the recently concluded Bihar election. He further noted the vibrancy of Indian democracy and praised the high voter turnout.
