Guidance for Rajya Sabha MPs

This comes after the PM met newly elected BJP Rajya Sabha MPs. Earlier, on 5th August, newly elected BJP Rajya Sabha 37 MPs met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence over breakfast. It was a cordial meeting. The PM guided them and also replied to all MPs' queries.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday met BJP Rajya Sabha MPs. This also included MPs who had recently joined the BJP from other parties.

According to sources, the PM told the MPs not to get caught up in the "web of Delhi" and said they should not remain confined only to Lutyens Delhi.

According to sources, the PM told the MPs to be mindful of whom you meet in Delhi and with whom you sit. Be very careful about how you use the letterhead and how you conduct yourself. The PM said that while technology has benefits, it also has drawbacks. Social media should be used with caution and in a dignified manner.

The PM said, "Do not carry the anxiety from inside the House to outside. Because sometimes there is such an atmosphere in the House that it causes anxiety, you should not carry it with you. There is also no need to speak angrily or shout in anger. You all know the party line, and you should calmly present your views on every issue." He further said, "No one should say anything trashy on TV. Maintain full dignity at all times. Engage actively in social media through Facebook, Instagram and X; interact with youth, inform government welfare work, encourage youth for sports activities." (ANI)
