New Delhi :The BJP-led NDA Parliamentary Party is scheduled to conduct its weekly ‘Mangal Milan’ meeting on Tuesday, August 11, at 9:30 am in the GMC Balayogi Auditorium of the Parliament Library Building. Members of the NDA from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are expected to attend.
On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted around 41 NDA Lok Sabha MPs for a breakfast meeting at his residence, where he provided guidance on health, parliamentary conduct, public service, and managing personal and official responsibilities.
Addressing the attendees, the Prime Minister highlighted the significance of physical and mental well-being, urging lawmakers to practice yoga daily, even suggesting simple seated exercises during busy schedules. He said, “If your health is good, you will be able to do more work for the public. So do yoga every day. If you are very busy with work, please do yoga wherever you are. Even while sitting on a chair for a few minutes, you can do yoga, which will keep your body and mind balanced and healthy.”
He compared Parliament to a university, encouraging new NDA MPs to study its history and make use of the Parliament Library. He invited legislators to contact him directly concerning state or constituency issues, describing the NDA as a family prioritising public welfare. “Parliament is like a university. I encourage you to study it and gain a deeper understanding of Parliament’s history,” he stated.
The Prime Minister advised members not to carry parliamentary stress outside the House, urging them to present their views calmly without anger or shouting and to maintain healthy relationships with colleagues across party lines.
When asked about handling multiple responsibilities, Mr Modi shared his personal approach: “I live in the present.” He explained, “Right now I am talking to all of you, so I am only here. I am not thinking about anything else at this moment.”
He also advised maintaining dignity in media interactions, warning against making inappropriate remarks on television. “There is no need to speak angrily or shout in anger. You all know the party line, and you should calmly present your views on every issue,” he said.
