MUMBAI:
Modi interacted with the legislators for more than 90 minutes, and spoke about his personal experiences as an MLA and the schemes that helped him remain relevant in electoral politics for years, said a Bharatiya Janata Party legislator who attended the meeting.
During the luncheon at the INS Angre auditorium in South Mumbai, the Prime Minister chose not to speak specifically about election strategy or the upcoming local body polls, the MLA cited above said.
Instead, he focused on topics ranging from safeguarding one's image and the importance of being polite to people to staying healthy and focusing on family. He also cautioned the legislators to stay away from scams, which dented not just their image but also that of their party, said another BJP MLA.
"He told us to take steps to remain relevant in politics and work even for that section of society which did not vote for us," said an MLA, requesting anonymity. "He said that our attempt should be to do everything to win over 100% percent of our constituency."
