"PM Modi stated that MPs have been told several times about attending the Parliament regularly. He added that it doesn't look nice to talk to the MPs as if they are children. He pointed out that if they do not become regular in the House, there may be changes in due course," sources said.
The poor attendance of the party MPs has been flagged by the Prime Minister several times in the past too.
