Don’t lobby for transfers, postings: Modi advices to UP MPs

Here was some advice with the cup of tea PM Narendra Modi offered BJP MPs from UP on Thursday morning: Refrain from lobbying for transfers and postings that was the bane of previous governments in the state.

The PM also asked party MPs to avoid discrimination in development work irrespective of the poll result and support for BJP. “Rather, we should be more focused on areas where the party has lost,” Modi said, suggesting that constituencies represented by opposition MLAs be allocated funds equally. Modi spent close to two hours with the MPs from both Houses, including ministers, as he spelled out a list of “dos and don’ts” for them. The party has 71Lok Sabha MPs and three Rajya Sabha MPs from the state.
