As per sources, the Prime Minister cautioned the MPs to `bring a change in their behaviour as otherwise changes will happen`.

According to sources, while directing all the MPs to ensure their presence in the Parliament, he said, "It is not right to repeatedly tell the same thing to you like children...you bring a change in your behaviour, otherwise change will happen."

At the meeting, BJP National President JP Nadda asked all MPs to visit their respective constituencies after the Winter Session and communicate with the district chiefs and mandal chiefs and call them for discussion over tea.

PM Narendra Modi: For such a long time, Gorakhpur was functioning with only 1 medical college. The research centre in the region didn't even have its own building. But today, we are not only inaugurating AIIMS, Gorakhpur but also a dedicated ICMR.

PM Narendra Modi: Ongoing development in Gorakhpur is the result of immense dedication and our commitment towards 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas & Sabka Prayas'.

PM Narendra Modi in UP's Gorakhpur: The beginning of a fertiliser plant and AIIMS in Gorakhpur is sending out several messages. When there is a double engine govt, then work takes place at double speed. When work is done with honest intentions, then even calamities can't become obstacles. When there is a govt that worries about the oppressed and deprived sections, then it works hard and even yields results. The program in Gorakhpur today is proof of the fact that nothing is impossible for new India when it becomes determined.
