New Delhi, Aug 5 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday hosted a breakfast meeting with 37 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Members of Parliament at his official residence as part of his ongoing outreach to parliamentarians during the Monsoon Session.

The informal interaction is part of the Prime Minister’s practice of meeting different groups of BJP MPs during Parliament sessions to exchange views, discuss governance and parliamentary affairs, and strengthen coordination within the party.

According to sources, Prime Minister Modi shared personal experiences with the MPs and held informal discussions on a range of issues during the breakfast meeting.

Among those who attended were BJP MPs associated with the NCPI alliance, former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders who later joined the BJP, as well as senior party leaders Tarun Chugh, Vinod Tawde and BJP chief Nitin Nabin.

The meeting was held against the backdrop of the ongoing Monsoon Session, during which the government has been pushing its legislative agenda while also engaging with lawmakers through regular interactions outside the House.

Prime Minister Modi has been holding similar breakfast meetings with different groups of BJP parliamentarians during successive Parliament sessions. The interactions provide MPs with an opportunity to share feedback from their constituencies, discuss policy matters and parliamentary strategy, and engage directly with the Prime Minister in an informal setting.

The Monsoon Session, which began on July 20, is scheduled to continue until August 13 with 19 sittings. Ahead of the session, Prime Minister Modi had called for constructive debates and the smooth functioning of Parliament, stressing that meaningful discussions and collective efforts were essential to advancing the country’s development agenda.

The current session has witnessed debates on several important government bills and discussions on issues ranging from economic policy to public examinations and national security, while opposition protests have also led to repeated disruptions in both Houses on several occasions.

The breakfast meeting is part of the BJP leadership’s broader effort to maintain regular engagement with its MPs during the session, allowing the Prime Minister to interact with legislators in smaller groups and receive feedback on governance, constituency-level issues and the party’s outreach initiatives.
