Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attended the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) workshop at the GMC Balayogi Auditorium in the Parliament complex, where
he was seen sitting in the last row. In a photo shared by BJP MP Ravi Kishan, PM Modi was seen sitting in the last row of the auditorium among other parliamentarians of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). "At the NDA MPs' workshop, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, seated in the last row, embodies the strength of the BJP; every worker is part of this organisation," Ravi Kishan wrote on X in Hindi. The image of PM Modi quietly seated among other MPs in the back row quickly gained traction online, with supporters hailing it as an example of his simplicity.
The BJP is holding two-day "karyashala" (workshop) of BJP MPs at the Parliament complex. The party's workshop includes several sessions, including on its history and evolution, and lessons for its parliamentarians on boosting efficiency.
According to a report by TOI, the workshop passed the recent approvals of GST rejig by the council.
Moreover, the workshop comes ahead of the upcoming election of Vice President of India, scheduled for September 9.
The BJP-led NDA's candidate C P Radhakrishnan and the Opposition's nominee B Sudarshan Reddy, a former Supreme Court judge, are locked in a straight contest, with numbers clearly favouring the Maharashtra governor.
PM Modi was scheduled to host a dinner for the BJP-led NDA MPs on Monday on the eve of the vice presidential election, but it is also likely to be cancelled, sources told PTI.
