According to sources, Modi said while the BJP got re-elected for the second time 57 per cent of the time, the percentage of the Congress party for a second term was below 20 per cent. For the regional parties, this is at 49 per cent.
The BJP got elected three times 59 per cent and the Congress could not win any state for a third time in the recent past.
PM Modi also asked the MPs to participate actively in the ongoing Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a programme to reach out to beneficiaries of the government schemes that began on November 15 and will conclude on January 25, the Janman programme for the particularly vulnerable tribal groups and extremely backward as well as the Vishwakarma programme.
Sources said Modi advised the MPs not to address as Modiji or aadaraniya Modiji as people know him as “Modi” and adding adjectives would distance him from people. “I am a small karyakarta of the party and people think that I am part of their family. Don’t add adjectives like Shree or adaraniyaji as people think of them as one of them and as Modi” he is learnt to have said.
