Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked BJP members of Parliament here on Tuesday to spread the word about the government’s development schemes.

He was addressing the weekly Parliamentary party meeting of the BJP that takes place when Parliament is in session. In particular, he mentioned the ongoing rural electrification drive, the Mudra scheme and increased LPG coverage. Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, which gave the party a stunning Lok Sabha tally of 71 MPs out of its 80 seats, are due next year.

The State has a good number of villages that are still not electrified.

Condolence

Veteran BJP leader L.K. Advani mentioned the passing of Jana Sangh veteran Balraj Madhok and expressed his condolences.
