The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met 36 to 45 Rajya Sabha MPs from the NDA at a breakfast meeting, according to differing accounts from Hindustan Times and Times of India. He advised them to avoid lobbyists and the 'web of Lutyens' Delhi', maintain dignity on TV, and not carry anxiety from the House outside. The meeting included MPs who recently joined the BJP after leaving the Trinamool Congress and Aam Aadmi Party. Modi also encouraged using Parliament's library, learning from seniors, and being cautious with technology. A SWOT analysis of attendees' social media accounts was arranged. The report relies mainly on unnamed lawmakers.
The Indian Opinion
The reported advice covers basic parliamentary conduct and media discipline, which is unremarkable. Yet the meeting was private and details come from unnamed sources, making its political intent uncertain. Some may read this as a bid to tighten NDA unity, but such a conclusion is premature without seeing how recently inducted MPs act in upcoming votes. A concrete test will be how these MPs vote on pending bills during the monsoon session.
