Here is PM Narendra Modi’s advice for MP's elected for the first time

After being elected as the leader of NDA alliance, Modi will now call on President Ram Nath Kovind to stake his claim to form the government, following which he will be sworn in as the next prime minister, likely next week.

NEW DELHI: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi was unanimously elected leader of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance on Saturday at a meeting attended by its newly elected MPs and senior leaders in Parliament's Central Hall, he offered his advice to the newly elected MP’s present there. In the presence of senior BJP leaders L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi and other alliance leaders, PM Modi said “We are here for those who trusted us today. We are here for those too whose trust we are yet to win.” Here is PM Narendra Modi’s advice for the MP’s:

• Leaders should maintain restraint in speaking to the media. Modi says some statements made for publicity often trouble us.
• Don't trust media reports on names being considered for ministerial berths, responsibilities will be given as per norms.
• MPs should shun VIP culture. Modi says they should stand in queues wherever required, like other citizens.

After being elected as the leader of NDA alliance, Modi will now call on President Ram Nath Kovind to stake his claim to form the government, following which he will be sworn in as the next prime minister, likely next week. "Modi is elected the leader of the parliamentary party of 353 MPs unanimously," BJP president Amit Shah announced after the election as Modi acknowledged the support and cheers from MPs. Top alliance leaders, including JD(U)'s Nitish Kumar, Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray and Akali Dal's Parkash Singh Badal, extended their party's support after Modi was elected as the leader of the BJP parliamentary party at first. Party Preident Shah proposed Modi's name and former party presidents Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari seconded the proposal. Modi's election was a mere formality as the NDA had already declared him the alliance's prime ministerial candidate. He has led the NDA to a landslide win in the general election, with the BJP winning 303 seats, its highest ever, and its allies 50.
