I can call any of you any time’: Pm Modi talks tough to BJP MPs

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked BJP members to ensure their presence in Parliament amid instances of lack of quorum in both the Lok Sabha as well as the Rajya Sabha. The prime minister’s direction came at the party’s parliamentary meeting in the national capital. The ongoing budget session of Parliament, that convened on January 31, will conclude on April 12.

Mincing no words, the Prime Minister warned his colleagues that if he finds any MP missing from the House for no reason, he would not hesitate in personally give them a call asking for explanation.

Unhappy with the regular absentees, the PM said that the BJP MPs, who are frequently found to be seated at the Central Hall of Parliament or somewhere else, should ensure that they mark their attendance by attending the proceedings in both the Houses.

PM Modi also expressed his unhappiness over some BJP MPs for not having in-depth knowledge of the important Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill. Speaking to the BJP MPs, PM Modi stressed that he could help them win elections again, but he can’t help them mark their attendance in Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.
