NOIDA -- Attacking Congress yet again over disruptions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked the party to take a New Year resolution to allow Parliament to function for the sake of development.

He said having "enjoyed power" for over six decades it has no right to destroy its functioning for "political reasons" and hold back the country's development.

"Tomorrow is January 1. When you are going to celebrate New Year, you should take a vow to allow Parliament to run and do its work and not pose hurdles for the country's development," Modi said.

He was addressing a public rally after laying foundation stone of a 14-lane expressway connecting Delhi with Meerut.

Focusing his attack primarily on Congress, Modi said, "This is the misfortune of India, Parliament where laws are made is not being allowed to function. Those who have been rejected by people seized its functioning.

"They do not allow Parliament to run. I request all these political parties not to do so. Since I have not got an opportunity to speak in Lok Sabha, I am taking the opportunity to air my views in 'Jan Sabha'. People have sent us to Parliament to debate, discuss and decide," he said.

The Prime Minister said Congress has more responsibility to ensure functioning of Parliament as they had "enjoyed power" for over six decades.

"It is our responsibility to accomplish the work entrusted on us by people. This responsibility specially lies on those who have ruled the country for over 60 years. They know what is the responsibility of Parliament.

"It is specially their responsibility to ensure that country's development is not stopped because of their political reasons. They have more responsibility as people had given them opportunity to run the country for over six decades.

"I understand the anger of those who have not got a chance to rule the country. But those who have enjoyed all kinds of power for 60 years have no right to halt Parliament and destroy its functioning," he said.
