During the meeting, the Prime Minister is said to have shared personal experiences and held informal discussions with the MPs. Those who attended included MPs associated with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) alliance, former AAP leaders who later joined the BJP, as well as senior party leaders Tarun Chugh, Vinod Tawde, and party president Nitin Nabin.
The breakfast meeting was part of the Prime Minister's practice of meeting different groups of BJP MPs during Parliament sessions to interact and exchange views.

Opposition Demands Statements in Parliament
The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 2 PM on Wednesday amid continued disruptions in the House. Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rajya Sabha and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge reiterated the opposition's demand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah make statements in Parliament.
"Our demand is that Prime Minister Modi Ji and Home Minister Amit Shah come to the House. They should give their statement; we are ready to discuss. The solution will emerge only through discussion," Kharge said, adding, "It has been quite a few days since the House convened. They should come; by not coming to the House, they are insulting Parliament."
