'We Need To Continue With Viksit Bharat Agenda': Modi's Message To Newly Elected MPs

Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi organised a tea party for the newly elected MPs and would-be council of ministers ahead of his swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhawan on Sunday. He asked the leaders to prepare a plan of action for 100 days and act on it as soon as possible.

Modi congratulated all the MPs and advised them against getting influenced by others during work.

“We need to continue with the Viksit Bharat agenda. Development work will go on without any halt,” he said.

WHAT NEWLY-ELECTED MPs SAID

After attending the tea meeting at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, BJP MP-elect Manohar Lal Khattar said, “There is a ritual of Narendra Modi that he calls people to his residence for a tea meeting. He only calls them who he wants to induct in his cabinet. Some formalities were to be done, which I have completed. He has asked to me to stay in Delhi for the next 24 hours. Other than me, Rao Inderjit Singh and Krishan Pal Gurjar were also present in the meeting.”

JP leader Ajay Tamta said, “I feel fortunate to get the opportunity to work with the Prime Minister. For this, I thank BJP, all the voters of my constituency, and the Prime Minister. Whatever work I get, I will contribute to taking that work forward with all my strength.”

BJP MP-elect Giriraj Singh said, “I want to thank PM Modi for showing trust in me. There was one discussion that we had to transform India into a ‘Viksit Bharat’. It is not about any particular portfolio. Every department is important.”
