The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is preparing for the vice presidential elections by holding a two-day workshop at the GMC Balayogi Auditorium in the Parliament complex, and to the surprise of most present, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was spotted sitting in the last row along with other party workers as the session unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the Centre's sweeping Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms. The workshop in which all the Members of Parliament of the BJP participated began on Sunday. PM Modi was felicitated for the GST reforms by the BJP MPs during the event.
BJP MP and actor Ravi Kishan posted a photo of PM Modi sitting in the last row while attending a two-day workshop for NDA MPs ahead of the Vice President of India election and said it is reflective of the party’s strength. He shared a selfie from the event with PM Modi in the background on X and wrote, “Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji sitting in the last row at the workshop of NDA MPs is the strength of BJP. Here, everyone is a karyakarta (worker) in the organisation.”
Later, PM Narendra Modi also posted a collection of photographs from the workshop and said, “Attended the ‘Sansad Karyashala’ in Delhi. MP colleagues from all over India and other senior leaders exchanged valuable perspectives on diverse issues.”
The party’s two-day workshop includes several sessions, including one on its history and evolution, and lessons for its parliamentarians on boosting efficiency.
While the first day of the workshop has two main focus areas—'Towards a developed India by 2027' and ‘effective use of social media by MPs'—the second day would focus on preparations for the Vice President elections scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, the report added.
