"Change Yourself Or There'll Be Changes," PM Warns BJP MPs
NDTV
The Prime Minister's warning comes as the BJP preps for an avalanche of Assembly elections next year, including one in the politically key state of Uttar Pradesh
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday urged BJP MPs to be regular in attending Parliament sessions, sources said, warning them "if you don't change yourself, there will be changes in due course".
"Please be regular in attending Parliament and meetings. It is not good for me to continuously stress about this (and treat you) like children. If you don't change yourself, there will be changes in due course," the Prime Minister said.
PM Modi's words of warning come as the ruling BJP faces a furious opposition in the ongoing winter session of Parliament, where the government is being cornered on a variety of issues, including 14 civilian deaths after an Army op went horrifically wrong in Nagaland's Mon district on Saturday.
The government also faces fury over the suspension of 12 opposition MPs for this session; the MPs were suspended for their role in shocking chaos that marred the final day of the previous session.
