Sources said the Prime Minister asked the MPs to reach out to the people with the government development and welfare measures.

"PM Modi told all the MPs present in the meeting to tell people about the public welfare schemes of the Central government to each and every village of Gujarat. The party has decided to contest the election on a development agenda," sources said. It was learnt that MPs were told to use social media to explain to the people about the government's work.

"We are asked to make a short video and share it with each voter through WhatsApp group. The video will tell about the work of the Union and the state government. The MPs will also be asked to highlight their own work for their parliamentary constituency," a BJP MP said. This was the second meeting of the BJP MPs from Gujarat with Prime Minister Modi in a week. On March 24, Modi had met BJP MPs from Gujarat.

"PM Modi asked about the work we are doing in our area and advised us to work for the people," an MP from Gujarat had said after the meeting held last week. (IANS)
