Modi May Address NDA MPs Today

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to address the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, in what will be his first speech to the

MPs of the ruling alliance during the first session of Parliament since he assumed office for a third term.

Though Mr Modi in the past has addressed the NDA MPs on a few occasions, especially when he was elected as their leader ahead of all his three terms, he generally speaks at the meetings of BJP MPs during the parliamentary sessions.

This development assumes significance as the BJP, for the first time since 2014, has lost a majority in the Lok Sabha in the recently held polls and depends on its allies for the government’s continuation.

The NDA meeting comes amid discussions going on in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the motion of thanks to President Droupadi Murmu for her address to a joint sitting of Parliament.
