An MP said PM Modi articulated the idea of a strong and stable NDA government at the Centre which is also catering to regional aspirations by joining hands with regional forces and satraps.Some Muslim MPs in the breakaway TMC faction, including Yusuf Pathan and Abu Taher Khan, who had raised eyebrows by keeping away from NDA parliamentary party meetings, were also present in the interaction.The PM spoke of the importance of eastern India and said his government has been working to boost the region’s growth. “We are overwhelmed by his knowledge and his treatment of us. He told us whether someone is in the NDA for 20 years or one, everyone is our family,” rebel TMC MP Kakoli Ghose Dastidar said. Harbhajan Singh, who was in AAP, said PM Modi asked them to attend Parliament regularly and understand its functioning by acquainting themselves with its rules and history.
