Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu Wednesday advised ruling and opposition parties to focus on what needs to be done for the betterment of the country and not continue with election campaign speeches.
Rajya Sabha Wednesday dispensed with Zero Hour and Question Hour so as to conclude debate on the Motion of Thanks to President by lunchtime.
When Kirori Lal Meena of the BJP began to speak and mentioned of the Congress using tribal people as vote bank, Naidu interjected to say that he would like to request everyone that "elections are over. The campaign has ended. Results are out. It would be better if we now focus on what needs to be done in the future."
"That is reflecting on the overall functioning of the House," he said. "If you have something very important and if you want to share something with your colleague, both of you can go outside, discuss, come back and occupy your respective seats because whatever we do in the House reflects on the overall image of the House."
