Raghav Chadha cherishes meeting PM Modi after NDA breakfast
A member of India's Parliament named Raghav Chadha met the country's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
He said it was a very special morning that he will always remember.
The Prime Minister gave him advice and the two had a long, useful talk.
The day before, the Prime Minister had breakfast with 45 members of Parliament.
Many of those members had recently changed which political group they belong to.
Lately, India's Parliament has been very noisy because some members protest a lot.
The Prime Minister said these protests make it hard for members to do their jobs and speak.
He told the members not to worry and that their political group is like a family that supports them.
The people at breakfast came from several different political parties.
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday and called the interaction an enriching, memorable morning.
Chadha posted on X that he was deeply grateful for the Prime Minister's time, insights and guidance.
The meeting came a day after PM Modi had a breakfast meeting with 45 Parliamentarians, many of whom recently joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
PM Modi expressed concern that repeated disruptions from Opposition protests have limited several MPs' opportunities to speak in Parliament.
Breakfast attendees included 20 rebel Trinamool Congress MPs, seven former Uddhav Sena MPs, 20 National People's Party (NPP) MPs and two MPs from Ajit Pawar's NCP faction.
