New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised the importance of party MPs' presence in Parliament on Tuesday, adding that if they do not alter themselves, there may be "changes" in the future.

According to PTI, the prime minister made the remarks during the BJP parliamentary party gathering at the Ambedkar International Centre.

'Children Are Repeatedly Reminded Of A Problem, They Don't Repeat It'

On the topic of attendance, the prime minister stated that party MPs should routinely attend Parliamentary sessions and noted that when children are repeatedly reminded of a problem, they do not repeat it.

According to PTI sources, the prime minister advised MPs to adapt themselves or else change would come with time.

Modi has already expressed concern over BJP MPs' inadequate attendance.

'Invite District And Mandal Presidents For Tea And Connect With Them'

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi shared details of the meeting, which was conducted outside the Parliament premises for the first time, saying the prime minister instructed party MPs that they should all organise sporting events in their individual areas. 

During the meeting, BJP President J P Nadda instructed party MPs to invite district presidents and Mandal presidents from their respective constituencies to tea and connect with them.
