His gesture, party colleagues said, reflected humility and his willingness to participate as an ordinary MP from Varanasi.

The workshop, aimed at training MPs on voting procedures ahead of the September 9 Vice Presidential election, also featured sessions on governance, communication and party strategy. On the first day, MPs discussed India's goal of becoming a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047 and the effective use of social media to showcase government achievements.
