After the hit “chai pe charcha” campaign during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked his party MPs to hold “lunch pe charcha” to spread the good points of the Union Budget 2018-19 among the people.
The Prime Minister’s suggestion came at a BJP Parliamentary party meeting where party chief Amit Shah described Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s behaviour as “undemocratic” and suggested ways to counter his criticism of the Rafale fighter deal.
The Prime Minister described the union budget as positive for the middle class and farmers and asked them to discuss its benefits among the masses.
Intervening in Amit Shah’s speech, PM Modi described how he held discussions with party cadres in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi over lunch by bringing his own tiffin.
PM Modi asked the MPs to hold such ‘lunch pe charcha” by bringing their own tiffin in every assembly segment of their constituency during the Budget Session break.
