NDA MPs begun arriving at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg to attend a special dinner hosted by Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi.

The special dinner is being organised as part of efforts to strengthen coordination between the alliance, news agency ANI reported. The dinner organised by the PM will also focus on enhancing engagement and streamlining floor strategy during the ongoing Winter Session of the Parliament.

The dinner meeting is intended to provide a platform for an open, constructive exchange of ideas among alliance partners.

It is expected to provide the PM with an opportunity to discuss legislative priorities, review the government's broader agenda for the session and reinforce the NDA's collective political roadmap, reported ANI.

Senior ministers, floor leaders and MPs from all constituent parties of the alliance are expected to participate in the interaction organised at the PM's residence.

Preparatory strategies for the upcoming West Bengal Elections

The discussions at the residence may also include preparatory strategies for the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Assam, with coalition partners likely to fine-tune their approaches ahead of crucial state polls, reported ANI.

BJP MP Anurag Thakur expressed gratitude to PM Modi for inviting the MPs for the special dinner and said that the next dinner will be held after victory in the 2026 West Bengal Elections.

Exuding confidence, Thakur emphasised, "PM Modi has invited us after the bumper historic victory in Bihar. Ab Bihar ke baad agla bhoj Bengal ki jeet ke baad phir hoga."

"We, the NDA MPs, express gratitude to PM Narendra Modi, who has invited all of us to his residence for a dinner. We will get an opportunity to meet him. We know each other formally, but when PM Modi invites us to his residence, you can see all MPs happy. They are all excited, not just for the dinner but also for the opportunity to meet the PM; if the PM hosts dinner, there can be no bigger opportunity than this," Thakur added.

Expressing joy, BJP MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said, "What can be better than this, that the PM has invited us and we are heading to his residence? It is a matter of joy for us. We would like to express our gratitude to him."
