CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi met MPs of the National Democratic Alliance in Delhi, ahead of the Lok Sabha session on Tuesday and said the Opposition is unhappy that a non-Congress leader became prime minister for a third term.
Addressing the MPs, Modi asked MPs to study any issue before making comments on it before the media and said they should stay in touch with constituencies and thank voters for their support.
Modi also asked MPs to visit the prime ministers’ museum, noting that it documents the life journey of all prime ministers, something which was not done by earlier governments.
Addressing presspersons after the meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “PM urged NDA MPs to follow rules of the parliament, parliamentary democracy system and conduct which is essential to becoming a good MP.”
Rijiju added Modi did not mention about Rahul Gandhi’s speech in Lok Sabha yesterday. However, he added, “The manner in which LoP Rahul Gandhi behaved yesterday, turned his back towards the Speaker, spoke out of rules and insulted the Speaker is something that people of our party, the NDA should not do.”
The NDA parliamentary party met in Delhi on Tuesday, the first of the current government. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed to the meeting with applause.
