The Winter Session of Parliament opened with Prime Minister Modi urging the opposition to prioritize 'delivery, not drama' and constructive debate. This statement set the tone for the day, dominating early morning news and sparking immediate pushback from opposition leaders like Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, who emphasized the importance of parliamentary debate and criticized the government for not allowing discussions. By early afternoon, the Lok Sabha saw an adjournment due to opposition demands for debate during zero hour, even as new bills were introduced and Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan was welcomed as the new Chair of Rajya Sabha. The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) for voter lists continued to be a contentious issue, along with concerns about air pollution in Delhi-NCR.
