Modi's Tips For New NDA Rajya Sabha MPs At Breakfast
Some important leaders from the ruling side of India's Parliament had a special breakfast with the Prime Minister.
They were new members of the Rajya Sabha, one of the two houses of Parliament.
More than 30 of them came, and they talked for over an hour.
The Prime Minister told them how to be good leaders.
He said they should be polite on the phone and careful with official papers.
He also told them to come to Parliament every single day.
He said they can learn good things from everyone, even people who disagree with them.
The Prime Minister shared some personal secrets too.
He said he sleeps only three hours a night and falls asleep almost instantly.
He also said that when he flies to another country, he changes his watch to that country's time.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met over 30 new NDA Rajya Sabha MPs over breakfast on Wednesday morning, with the meeting lasting over an hour.
Modi advised MPs to guard against the misuse of their letterhead, avoid being rude to people on the phone, and strive for 100% attendance in the House.
The Prime Minister urged MPs to learn from all fellow parliamentarians, including those in the Opposition.
Modi said he falls asleep within eight seconds of getting into bed, sleeps about three hours, and sets his watch to his destination's time to avoid jet lag.
MPs from AAP, TMC and BJD have joined the NDA ranks, including three former TMC-nominated MPs who entered the House as BJP members.
