The 63-year-old PM was elected to the Lok Sabha for the first time from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.
The PM also urged the 161 first-timer MPs "to come to me or party president Rajnath Singh if you need any help."
The PM was also clear on dos and don'ts - he warned against any form of corruption or nepotism, said MPs would have to come well prepared for debates in the House, and said "just like we made the Centre nearly Congress-mukt, the same thing has to be repeated wherever assembly elections are taking place." He also said that MPs should not speak out of turn to the media and must focus on "achar (conduct), vichar (thinking) and vyavahar (behaviour)".
The PM was the first speaker at a two-day training camp being held at a hotel in Surajkund on the border between Delhi and Haryana. (See pics)
Other BJP A-listers like Home Minister Rajnath Singh also briefed the rookies.
The new lawmakers will also get tutorials from union minister M Venkaiah Naidu, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
The final speaker will be LK Advani, the party's 86-year-old veteran.
Class will be dismissed tomorrow at 4 pm.
