PM says BJP MPs ignore his SMSes,asked them to start following the Narendra Modi app

Sources in the BJP quoted Modi as telling his MPs that they should follow the mobile app regularly. He said he often sends 'good morning' messages to his MPs, which is only seen or acknowledged by a handful of BJP MPs.

At the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting in New Delhi today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reported to have complained to BJP Members of Parliament that they ignore his text messages (SMSes), and has asked them to start following the Narendra Modi app.

The Narendra Modi app, launched on June 17, 2015, provides comprehensive information on the initiatives and achievements of the central government.

In August this year, Modi had warned the BJP MPs who don't attend Parliament that they may not get to contest the next Lok Sabha polls if they persist with the habit.

This is not the first time Modi has admonished his MPs, either for their performance or their attendance in Parliament.
