PM Modi enjoys lunch with MPs inside Parliament canteen
Prime Minister Narendra Modi caught fellow MPs by surprise when he asked them to join him for lunch at the parliament canteen.
“I’m going to punish you today, come with me,” the Prime Minister reportedly said to the MPs, mock-seriously.
Rice, daal, khichdi, til ka laddoo were among the fare served at the vegetarian lunch.
Ram Mohan Naidu from TDP, Ritesh Pandey from BSP, BJP’s Ladakh MP Jamyang Namgyal, Union Minister L Murugun, Sasmit Patra of BJD, and BJP’s Maharashtra MP Heena Gavit were among the attendees.
During the 45-minute lunch, MPs, across party lines, asked about the Prime Minister’s lifestyle, when he wakes up, and how he manages such a packed schedule.
Covering a range of subjects, the Prime Minister spoke about his surprise visit to meet Nawaz Sharif – who is hoping to form the next Pakistan government after controversial elections – his foreign tours, and the Statue of Unity, among others.
