All Shiv Sena MPs join PM tea meet

PM talked about a gamut of subjects and his spectrum was very wide
New Delhi: Parliamentary affairs minister M. Venkaiah Naidu was in charge of coordinating the meeting, at which various departments made presentations. Finance minister Arun Jaitley made a presentation on the Jan Dhan Yojana, and labour minister Narinder Singh Tomar gave a briefing on labour reforms. Rural development minister Nitin Gadkari also made a presentation on the PM’s Adarsh Gram Vikas Yojana.
Greeting the assembled MPs, senior leader L.K. Advani said this year’s Diwali was the best he had ever had, as the party had risen to unprecedented heights.
Mr Geete later informed reporters that all Shiv Sena MPs were present. “No political discussions took place during the meeting. It was purely an official function,” he said.
“There was an elaborate discussion on many issues which the government has brought to the nation. We had an address by the Prime Minister, who talked about cleanliness, various issues before the government, how an MP can turn things in this country, how an MP can be a symbol of positive political entity and how the respectability of politicians can be enhanced in the country,” BJP general secretary Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.
Mr Rudy said the PM talked about a gamut of subjects and his spectrum was very wide, as the meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere. “The PM happily endorsed the achievements of the BJP and greeted Amit Shah on his victory in Haryana and Maharashtra,” he added.
Besides BJP and Sena MPs, those of other NDA allies like the Shiromani Akali Dal, TD, LJP, Apna Dal and other Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs were present at the gathering.
