“This Parliament has been in session for a long time. This House has also made a significant contribution to us.

Sixty-five departing members represented 19 states, and seven other members were nominated. The departing MPs, according to the Prime Minister, are “reservoirs of experience.” “Experiences can be more valuable than academic knowledge in some cases.
We can solve problems faster with experience, and we can avoid making fresh mistakes “In the Rajya Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated. He further stated that such members of parliament should bring their extensive experience to all sections of the country.
