The BJP lawmakers including Union Ministers were in surcharged mood for the two-day training programme and some of them took to music to keep themselves going. ‘Working hard, working happy. Visible high energy just prior to BJP MPs workshop under dynamic leadership of Narendra Modiji to serve our nation better,’ tweeted former Union Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore tagging a video of some party leaders singing a popular Kishore Kumar number ‘yeh shaam mastani madhosh kiye jaa’.
In the video, Babul Supriyo talks about the original song in Bengali — ‘aakaash keno daakey; mann chhutee chaye’. Among others who appeared in the video are BJP MPs Ravi Kishan and Manoj Tewari. The BJP is organising a two-day unique training programme for its Members from both Houses of Parliament beginning Saturday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact and address the party MPs on Sunday. The two-day workshop, ‘Abhyas Varga’ was inaugurated by Prime Minister on Saturday morning.
Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, BJP Working president Jagat Prakash Nadda, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and Social Justice Minister Thawarchand Gehlot among others were present on the occasion.
Other party leaders, including Anurag Thakur, Giriraj Singh, Pragya Singh Thakur and Gautam Gambhir BJP MP from East Delhi, are also attending the training programme organised at Parliament Library Building.
The basic idea of the training programme is to update the newly elected lawmakers about their rights and duties and how they can improve their performance in legislative business, debates and asking questions. Sources said Mr Shah and Mr Nadda would address the party MPs on Saturday while Prime Minister Modi will interact and address them on Sunday.
Among others, BJP general secretary Bhupendra Yadav and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal are also in the list of speakers.
