New Delhi: A day after the results of Assembly elections in four states were announced, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the results showed that “people have rejected negativity” and urged the opposition “not to vent the frustration of defeat” inside Parliament. The Prime Minister was addressing the media ahead of the Winter Session of Parliament.

On the huge victory of the BJP in the elections, PM Modi said, “When there is good governance, when there is devotion to public welfare, the word “anti-incumbency” becomes irrelevant. You can call it “pro-incumbency” or “good governance” or “transparency” or “concrete plans for public welfare” – but this has been the experience. After such an excellent public mandate, we are meeting at this new temple of Parliament.”

He also said the results of the Assembly elections were very encouraging for those who are committed to the welfare of the common people.

Urging for cooperation from everyone during the winter session, PM said, “The country has rejected negativity. Before the commencement of the session, we hold discussions with our colleagues in the Opposition…We urge and pray for the cooperation of everyone. This time too, the process has been undertaken…I also urge all our MPs that this temple of democracy is essential for public aspiration and to strengthen the foundation of developed India.”

The winter session of the parliament has begun today and with 15 sittings, the session will last till December 22.
