BJP MPs raised the slogans of "Teesri Baar Modi Sarkar" (Modi Government for the third time) and "Baar Baar Modi Sarkar" (Modi government over and over) in Lok Sabha in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as the winter session of the Parliament commenced on Monday.
The BJP showcased an impressive performance in the assembly elections, securing victories in three out of the four states where counting took place on Sunday. The saffron party emerged triumphant in Madhya Pradesh and successfully claimed power from the Congress in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, clinching a substantial lead in terms of seats.
Ahead of the session PM Modi addressed the media and said results in assembly elections were very encouraging and added that political heat is increasing in the country at a rapid rate. He further slammed the Opposition by stating that it is a "golden opportunity for Opposition parties to do something constructive" and asked them not to vent anger at their defeat in assembly polls inside the House. The opposition should learn from its defeat, he said. PM Modi further stated that the opposition is valuable for the country, but it should also be powerful.
The winter session of parliament, commencing on December 4, will conclude on December 22.

During the session, the spotlight will be on the three criminal justice bills and the bill on appointment of chief election commissioner and election commissioners, both of which have witnessed the opposition striking a discordant note.
A report recommending TMC MP Mahua Moitra's expulsion from the House in connection with a 'cash-for-query' case is expected to be tabled in the Lok Sabha.

PM Modi urged for the cooperation of every member in the functioning of the House. He called for a productive start with constructive debates throughout the session.
