Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “delivery, not drama” statement ahead of Parliament session, and said discussing pressing issues is not drama.

“Drama is not allowing discussion, drama is now having a democratic discussion over about that matter to the public,” Gandhi said in a blunt retort.


She mentioned election situation, Special Intensive Roll (SIR), and Delhi’s air pollution as “huge issues”, and said, “Let us discuss them. What is the Parliament for?”

While speaking outside the Parliament House before the commencement of proceeding, Modi said stressed that the House needs delivery and not drama, adding that the Winter session should not become a battleground for frustration born out of defeat, or turn into an arena for arrogance after victory.

In his address to the media at Hans Dwar, Parliament House, Modi had a message for the Opposition: “Come out of the setbacks of poll losses and raise strong points in the House debates.”

In an all-party meeting a day before, the Opposition unanimously demanded an in-House discussion on a host of issues including Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the recent Red Fort blast, air pollution and developments related to the government’s foreign policy.

They had even warned of stalling proceedings if the government does not agree.
