Addressing the party MPs at the BJP’s Parliamentary Party meeting here on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked them to “expose the opposition parties as they have been deliberately obstructing and not letting the Parliament conduct any business”, sources said.

The Prime Minister’s suggestion to the party MPs has come at a time when both Houses of Parliament have been facing multiple adjournments due to ruckus created by opposition parties repeatedly.

However, it is also learnt from sources that Modi suggested the ministers and MPs have a good relationship with Members of Parliament from the opposition benches.

Meanwhile, during the media briefing about the deliberations at the meeting Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said that the Prime Minister also spoke about “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, and said that people have blessed us, and it is an opportunity to inculcate the feeling of serving the country.

“Between August 15, 2022, and Aug 15, 2023, two workers will be handpicked to visit 75 villages per Assembly constituency. They will spend 75 hours in each village to collect ideas and noteworthy initiatives, which will be collated further for the development of the country,” Meghwal said.

The Minister said the Prime Minister also emphasised the digital literacy of people in rural India so that they can avail maximum benefits of the government welfare schemes.

Meghwal also said that MPs had been told that they too had to ensure everyone is connected. “In 2047 we will celebrate 100 years of independence, so we should collect ideas from people for the development of the country, the PM told the members,” he added.

PM Modi said ‘Azadi ka Mahotsav’ needed to be a ‘Jan Andolan’, the minister said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP chief JP Nadda, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and other BJP leaders were present at the meeting.
