Addressing the MPs, Modi asked MPs to study any issue before making comments on it before the media and said they should stay in touch with constituencies and thank voters for their support.
Modi also asked MPs to visit the prime ministers' museum, noting that it documents the life journey of all prime ministers, something which was not done by earlier governments.

Addressing presspersons after the meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, "PM urged NDA MPs to follow rules of the parliament, parliamentary democracy system and conduct which is essential to becoming a good MP."
Rijiju added Modi did not mention about Rahul Gandhi's speech in Lok Sabha yesterday. However, he added, "The manner in which LoP Rahul Gandhi behaved yesterday, turned his back towards the Speaker, spoke out of rules and insulted the Speaker is something that people of our party, the NDA should not do."
The NDA parliamentary party met in Delhi on Tuesday, the first of the current government. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed to the meeting with applause.
While the BJP won 240 seats, its allies won 53, leading to the NDA comfortably crossing the halfway mark in the 543-member House. All MPs were notified about the meeting and urged to attend the meeting.
The NDA meeting comes amid discussions going on in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the Motion of Thanks to President Droupadi Murmu's address to a joint sitting of Parliament.
