New Delhi, Jul. 31: BJP after huge victory in the election, BJP MPs are ‘enjoying’ this victory more than anything. There are many incidents happened where BJP MPs slipped their tongue. Now, due to the increasing need for discipline, punctuality and to stop foul mouthing among lawmakers, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has initiated a weekend with compulsory ‘Abhyas Varga’.
This two-day orientation program for newly elected BJP MPs will be held on 3 and 4 August.
This initiative was designed for enhancing parliamentary behavior and public conduct among them.
The workshop named, “Abhyas Varga” is already in effect in many states including Himachal Pradesh to impart basic ethos among the representatives. According to the official statement, all MPs have to attend the workshop.
It can be recalled that Bhopal MP, Pragya Thakur was summoned by the BJP working president JP Nadda over the former’s remarks that she was not elected to clean drains and toilets. Madhya Pradesh’s BJP MLA Akash Vijayvargiya was caught on cameras while assaulting the on-duty government officials with a bat. The PM was reportedly furious on Akash’s deeds and his father jumping to defend his son’s act.
Such embarrassing incidents have compounded the ruling dispensation frustration over many of its stakeholders skipping parliament sessions. This list includes the actor-turned-leaders like Hema Malini and Sunny Deol.
During his first tenure, PM Modi used to address meetings of the BJP parliamentarians on various occasions about the ethics and etiquette. Modi has raised the bars after being sworn-in for a second time.
