Prime Minister Narendra Modi sprang a surprise on the opposition MPs minutes after the Budget presentation in Lok Sabha on February 1. After Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Budget, Prime Minister Modi revived his 2-year-old custom and mingled with opposition MPs in the house. He greeted all MPs by walking across the aisle to their benches and even patted some on the back in a friendly gesture. He had a banter with TMC MP Saugata Roy, who urged the Prime Minister to remove West Bengal governor Jagdeep Dhankar. The Prime Minister responded to him saying that he will take that decision when Roy retires. The Prime Minister also mingled with senior MPs Farooq Abdullah, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, TR Baalu and A Raja. He enquired about their health before walking out. Watch for more details.
