PM Modi Welcomed with ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ Chants at NDA Parliamentary Meeting

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on Tuesday welcomed at the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) parliamentary party meeting with “Bharat Mata ki Jai” slogans. In the meeting, PM Modi on Tuesday asked NDA MPs to follow parliamentary rules and conduct, and learn from senior members about the best practices, comments that came a day after the ruling alliance accused Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi of making a “most irresponsible” speech. Addressing a meeting of NDA MPs, Modi said the opposition is upset as for the first time a non-Congress leader has become prime minister for a third straight term, sources said. Briefing reporters, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said Modi asked MPs to study parliamentary issues, attend Parliament regularly and raise the matters related to their constituency effectively.
