The Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister said Prime Minister Modi asserted that every MP coming to Parliament should prioritize "service to the country" and develop expertise on issues of interest to him.
"Today, the Prime Minister gave us a very important mantra. He said that every MP has been elected to the House to serve the nation. Irrespective of which party he belongs to, service to the nation is our first responsibility. Every MP of the House NDA has to work by putting the country first, this is what the Prime Minister urged. Secondly, the Prime Minister guided us well regarding the conduct of MPs,” Rijiju said.
The meeting marked Prime Minister Modi's first address to ruling bloc parliamentarians in his third term.

"He said that each parliamentarian must present the issues of their constituents very well in the House according to the rules. He also told us to develop expertise in other important issues of interest, whether it is water, the environment or the social sphere. So, first minister "He told us to develop expertise in those areas. "The Prime Minister urged the NDA MPs to follow the rules of Parliament, the system of parliamentary democracy and conduct which is essential to become a good MP," Rijiju said.

Rijiju said Prime Minister Modi has also asked all MPs to visit the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya (Prime Minister's Museum) in the national capital with their family members.
"The Prime Minister has also made a request. Every MP, along with his family, should visit Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya. In Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, the journey from Pt Jawaharlal Nehru to Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been shown beautifully. There is no political agenda. ..This is the first such effort where the entire country should know the contribution of every Prime Minister, appreciate it, learn from it and pay tribute to it," he said.
"...I think when the prime minister of the country speaks, everyone - not just parliamentarians - should take him seriously because he is the prime minister of the country. Great people of the country have named Prime Minister Modi as the third-term prime minister historically consecutive..."
Rijiju further said, "The way LoP Rahul Gandhi behaved yesterday, turned his back on the Speaker, spoke outside the rules and insulted the Speaker is something that people of our party, the NDA, should not do... "
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi is expected to address the Lok Sabha later today.
A huge uproar broke out in the Lok Sabha yesterday over Rahul Gandhi's comments. The BJP accused MP Raebareli of "insulting" the Hindu community.
Prime Minister Modi lashed out at Rahul Gandhi for his comments and said that calling the entire Hindu community "violent is a very serious matter." Home Minister Amit Shah said the Congress leader should apologize for his comments.
Participating in the debate on the motion of thanks for the President's speech, Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP-led government and claimed that there has been "a systematic attack" on the idea of India.
While the BJP held a press conference later to denounce Rahul Gandhi's comments, the Congress also held a press conference in the afternoon to criticize the ruling party at the Centre.
Rahul Gandhi launched a multi-pronged attack on the BJP over his comments during the Lok Sabha campaign, the NEET-UG controversy and the Agniveer scheme.
