What happened
Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a breakfast meeting with 37 newly elected Rajya Sabha MPs of the NDA.

Modi advised the newly elected MPs to be mindful about whom they meet and where they meet, and he described Delhi as a “dangerous place.”
Modi also gave conduct-related guidance for MPs’ communication and official identity. Modi advised MPs to guard against misuse of their letterhead (official stationery used to represent an MP). Modi advised MPs to avoid rudeness during phone calls.
Modi responded to questions about personal routine. Modi said he falls asleep within minutes of getting into bed and sleeps for about three hours. Modi also emphasised living in the moment for optimum results.
