The second session will be on the effective use of social media by MPs. The third session will be of the parliamentary committee groups. Discussions will be held with MPs according to the parliamentary committees of different ministries.

Training on the Vice Presidential election will be provided.

On Monday, MPs will be trained about the Vice Presidential election. Along with this, MPs will also be informed about the process of the Vice Presidential election, the way of voting, the precautions of voting, etc.
The Vice Presidential election will witness a direct contest between CP Radhakrishnan, the candidate of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), and B. Sudarshan Reddy, the retired judge of the Supreme Court, who is the opposition’s candidate. However, Radhakrishnan appears to be ahead in terms of numbers. The BJP says that changes in GST will reduce the tax burden on the people and give impetus to the economy.
The BJP and its allies hope that the positive sentiment among the people regarding the fall in prices of many goods will help them in the Bihar assembly elections. Elections are expected to be held in Bihar in November. The BJP workshop will have several sessions, including lessons on the history and development of the party, as well as improving the efficiency of the MPs.
