New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attended a workshop for BJP MPs where a resolution was passed lauding the government for the GST reforms ahead of the party’s nationwide outreach to highlight its benefits.
Modi remained in the midst of the MPs and attended different sessions on the first day of the “Sansad Karyashala”.
Sources said the prime minister gave suggestions and shared his views while attending meetings of MPs divided into different groups.
In a meeting in which members of a few parliamentary committees were combined, he asked them to take active participation in discussions and in reading and preparing reports.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said MPs from the BJP’s allies will also join the meeting on Monday, and
Modi will address the ruling alliance members.
NDA MPs are also likely to participate in a mock polling exercise in preparation for the September 9 vice presidential election.
Leading party leaders, including Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and J P Nadda, attended the programme aimed at helping parliamentarians contribute effectively in and outside Parliament.
Several members highlighted that PM Modi chose to sit in the last row like an “ordinary” party member when he arrived.
