Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently met with leaders and MPs of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in what turned out to be a high-energy and strategically important gathering during the Monsoon Session of Parliament. This was the first NDA parliamentary meeting of the session, and it came right before the vice-presidential election nomination process – making the timing even more critical.
In his speech, PM Modi didn’t hold back. He took a sharp swipe at the opposition, calling out their repeated disruptions in Parliament over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar. According to him, the obstruction isn’t hurting the government as much as it’s exposing the opposition’s lack of direction. Modi urged NDA MPs to stay united, stay focused, and not get distracted by the political noise.
A major highlight was the alliance’s salute to the bravery of the armed forces, especially for their role in *Operation Sindoor*, India’s decisive military action after the Pahalgam terror attack. Modi emphasised his government’s commitment to modernising defence, highlighting the use of advanced drone technology in counter-terrorism operations — a sign of how India’s security forces are evolving for the challenges ahead.
On the political front, the meeting also signaled unity about the upcoming vice-presidential election. The NDA authorised Modi and BJP president J.P. Nadda to choose the alliance’s candidate — a move widely seen as a sure-win given their numbers in the electoral college.
Modi didn’t only focus on defence and Parliament disruptions. He also gave a call to action — urging members to counter the opposition’s narrative and promote the *‘Tiranga Yatra’* campaign in the run-up to Independence Day. It was a reminder that beyond the walls of Parliament, the NDA needs to connect with the people and keep the momentum going.
Overall, the meeting showcased Modi’s ability to command the room, inspire his allies, and set a clear roadmap for both governance and political battles ahead. With challenges on multiple fronts, the NDA left the room looking more energised — and more united — than ever.
