Narendra Modi's guidelines for MPs: Do research, don't touch my feet

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today issued a set of guidelines to the BJP MPs, asking them to do research on issues, have good conduct in Parliament, not to talk to media like “spokespersons”

The Prime Minister asked them to attend the sessions of Parliament full-time and come prepared after thorough research on issues and maintain dignity in the “temple of democracy”.  

He also urged them to come armed with knowledge and do their homework properly before participating in Parliament debates. He said being present during debates will be a good learning ground for them on various issues.

Sources said the Prime Minister also asked the MPs not to talk to the media as spokespersons of the party but raise the issues of their own area and constituency with them instead.

Modi also emphasised that he does not approve of sychophancy like people touching his feet and asked them to instead do hard work as Parliamentarians.

“Don't touch my feet,” he told them.
