Post-poll celebrations, some glum faces — scenes outside Parliament as winter session begins

New Delhi: As the winter session of Parliament kicked off Monday, BJP MPs celebrated their party’s thumping victory in the three states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh with chants of “Teesri Baar Modi Sarkar” and “Baar Baar Modi Sarkar“.

Speaking to the media outside Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that in light of Sunday’s results, the Opposition shouldn’t “take their frustrations out in Parliament”.    

“This is a golden opportunity for the Opposition. Instead of taking out your anger for the defeat, learn from it… Drop the negativity of the last nine years. Be positive so that the country sees you in a different light,” he added.
