PM Modi interacted warmly with everyone: NCPI's Satabdi Roy on breakfast meeting
New Delhi, Aug 7
NCPI MP Satabdi Roy on Friday shared details of the breakfast meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and newly elected NDA Lok Sabha MPs, saying that the Prime Minister interacted warmly with everyone and held detailed discussions on development and parliamentary responsibilities.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Roy said, "Our Prime Minister interacted warmly with everyone and held detailed discussions. We sat together over tea, and he told everyone that their contribution was important. He also discussed how they were planning and working towards the development of their respective constituencies. All of our MPs were there."
The invitation was extended to newly inducted NDA Lok Sabha MPs, including members of the NCPI (the rebel Trinamool Congress MPs who have joined the NCPI and have extended support to the NDA).
Lok Sabha MPs who recently joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena after breaking away from Shiv Sena(UBT) were also invited to the breakfast meeting.
The interaction was part of the Prime Minister's ongoing engagement with parliamentarians, aimed at strengthening coordination within the ruling alliance and encouraging greater participation in parliamentary proceedings. The meeting provided an opportunity for lawmakers to exchange views and discuss issues related to governance, development, and public welfare.
The gathering came shortly after Prime Minister Modi hosted a similar breakfast interaction with 37 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Members of Parliament at his official residence on Wednesday as part of his continued outreach to lawmakers during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
The informal meeting was organised to facilitate discussions on governance and parliamentary affairs while reinforcing coordination within the party and its allies. According to sources, the Prime Minister shared personal experiences with the MPs and held informal conversations on a range of issues.
Among those present at Wednesday's meeting were BJP MPs associated with the NCPI alliance, former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders who later joined the BJP, as well as senior BJP leaders Tarun Chugh, Vinod Tawde and BJP chief Nitin Nabin.
During the interaction, Prime Minister Modi also advised the MPs not to get caught in "Delhi's web of narratives" and to maintain cordial relations with members of the Opposition.
Emphasising the importance of active participation in parliamentary proceedings, the Prime Minister urged the MPs to make the best use of their time to "learn" and "work for the country's bright future".

The advice about not getting caught in 'Delhi's web of narratives' is so relevant. New MPs often get distracted by the political drama in the capital. PM Modi's guidance to focus on constituency development and parliamentary work is exactly what young politicians need to hear. Smart move!
Honestly, while this is nice optics, I wish the PM would also hold such inclusive meetings with opposition MPs. Governing should be about dialogue with everyone, not just allies. The country faces serious issues like unemployment and inflation that need cross-party cooperation.
This is classic Modi ji style – personal touch and mentorship. The fact that he's investing time in grooming new MPs, especially those from smaller allies like NCPI, shows he values every vote in the coalition. These little gestures build long-term political loyalty. 👏
Interesting to see how Indian politics works from inside. This breakfast diplomacy seems very effective for building team spirit. The advice to maintain cordial relations with opposition members is particularly wise – governance works better when there's mutual respect across party lines.
The way PM Modi is building a broad coalition, even welcoming MPs from parties that were previously opposed to the BJP, shows shrewd political strategy. But I hope the focus remains on actual development work and not just political consolidation. People need jobs, better infrastructure, and quality education.
