New Delhi, Dec 29 (DHNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday told BJP MPs that they were "ignoring" his text messages and asked them to start following the Narendra Modi app regularly.

"No one ever wishes me good morning," Modi said at the weekly meeting of the BJP parliamentary party, before the start of Parliament. "I send good morning messages but apart from five or six MPs, no one responds," BJP officials quoted him as saying. Modi said he often sends important messages with his morning greetings but these were missed too.

The BJP MPs were asked to make use of a new feature on the official app of the PM which facilitates direct connect with him. The app enables the MPs to apprise Modi of the work done in their states and constituencies.

Jitendra Singh, Union minister of state in the Prime Minister's Office, made a presentation about the new feature on the app. "There is a new mechanism, New India Connect, in the NaMo app which entails direct connect with the PM. Union minister Jitendra Singh apprised about it," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar told reporters.
