Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, the first day of the Budget session, asked Members of Parliament to set aside concerns over the Assembly elections in five States to ensure that the current session of Parliament would be fruitful and constructive and discussions meaningful and based on humanitarian concerns.
Making his customary remarks at the beginning of the parliament session, Mr. Modi said: “While it is correct that frequent polls do affect the conduct of the Parliament session, but I would like to request all honourable MPs that elections aside, the Budget session is a sort of road map for the entire year and is therefore important. We must, with all our intellectual resources, ensure that the session is fruitful and the upcoming year sees us scale new heights as far as the economy is concerned.”
