Take positive message about govt.’s work to your constituencies, PM tells NDA MPs
The HinduPrime Minister Narendra Modi, in the first two of his series of meetings with groups of NDA MPs, said the MPs should spend as much time as possible in their constituencies with a positive message about the NDA government’s work, and that while the Opposition alliance might have changed its name from the UPA to INDIA, the “taint of corruption and misgovernance” would not be washed off. “The NDA government has been serving the people and MPs must spend as much time as possible in their areas to bring the message home,” Mr. Modi is reported to have told the MPs. A presentation on the NDA government’s achievements and work was also made in these meetings and Union Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and BJP president J.P. Nadda also addressed the meetings. The meetings also follow Mr. Modi’s sharp words for the Opposition during a meeting of the BJP’s parliamentary party held last week where he said that even reviled names such as East India Company and Indian Mujahideen had the word India in them, and that such a change in moniker would not fool the people.
