He further slammed those rejected by the people 80-90 times, for hindering discussions, failing to understand public aspirations, and not meeting the people's expectations.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered his customary address ahead of the Parliament Winter Session, emphasising the significance of the upcoming session.

Tomorrow, in the House, we will mark the beginning of the 75th year of the Indian Constitution, a momentous occasion for our democracy."

Lok Sabha members attending the Winter Session of Parliament will have the option of marking their attendance using a digital pen on an electronic tab.

A team of engineers from the National Informatics Centre will be deployed at each counter for technical assistance. Members have to mark their attendance in the register to avail of their daily allowance when Parliament is in session. Earlier, Lok Sabha members marked their attendance using a mobile app. (PTI)
