Straighten up boys: Narendra Modi to impart etiquette lessons to BJP MPs

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party is organising a two-day orientation programme for its newly elected MPs from June 28.

Prominent leaders including Narendra Modi will teach lawmakers how to maintain decorum and refrain from tarnishing the party’s image.

Senior BJP leadership has also prepared a document with do’s and don’ts. The document says that it is mandatory for an MP to mark his presence in Parliament when in the national capital.
