PM Modi ticks off BJP MPs
PM Modi, while attending the BJP's Parliamentary meet on Tuesday, raised the issue of his MPs' absenteeism and asked them to be present inside Lok Sabha and Rajha Sabha while the proceedings are on.

Unhappy with the regular absentees, the PM said that the BJP MPs, who are frequently found to be seated at the Central Hall of Parliament or somewhere else, should ensure that they mark their attendance by attending the proceedings in both the Houses.
