PM Modi's surprise lunch with MPs in parliament canteen

Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a light moment with fellow MPs from different parries at the parliament canteen on Friday.

Dal, rice, khichdi and til ke ladoo were on the menu as the PM shared the table with MPs from TDP, BSP and BJD.

Organised in the parliament canteen, the high-profile lunch included conversations about former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif and the new temple in Abu Dhabi.

BJD leader Sasmit Patra, RSP leader N K Premachandran, TDP's K Ram Mohan Naidu, BSP's Ritesh Pandey and some BJP leaders, including Union minister L Murugan and Heena Gavit, were with Modi as they had lunch together.

“It did not feel like we were sitting with the Prime Minister,” one of the MPs at the lunch told NDTV. It was described as a “purely casual, cordial meeting.”

Parliament's Winter session ends on Saturday. It is the last session of Parliament before the Lok Sabha elections, expected in April-May.
