PM to speak in House today, BJP issues whip to its MPs

THE BJP on Sunday has issued a three-line whip to all its Lok Sabha MPs to remain present in the House on Monday, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to deliver a speech on the Motion of Thanks on President Droupadi Murmu's address to the joint sitting of the two Houses on January 31.

The Prime Minister is expected to present his government's achievements in the last 10 years in the last session of the present Lok Sabha and highlight the government's policies formulated for making 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047.

BJP sources said it has also been decided to communicate to all MPs to note down what the Prime Minister would say on Monday and use the salient points of his speech across their constituencies during the upcoming elections.
