Modi has also advised the ministers to learn parliamentary procedure. To help understand the parliamentary procedures better, a presentation was made for new ministers which explained the procedures of introducing Bills in the House.
Sources also said that PM Modi asked the ministers to ensure maximum attendance and spend time inside the house. Meanwhile, the ministers of state were asked to keep themselves updated with the works of their respective ministries through coordination with the cabinet ministers.
On July 8, in the first meeting of the council of ministers after the reshuffle, PM Modi had advised new ministers to use this opportunity to learn the work from their immediate predecessors and benefit from their experience.
Sources also pointed out that the PM in the last meeting had cautioned the ministers against making random comments in the media and instead carefully choose their words to avoid any controversy.
