Prime Minister Modi has made it clear to BJP MPs that they should stay clear of writing recommendation letters, which means that in a way, the BJP has banned recommendation letters in an unannounced way. While some BJP MPs are worked up about this, non-BJP Parliamentarians and former MPs are writing these letters nineteen to the dozen and action is being taken in the matter. According to government traditions, letters by the MPs are taken seriously and they are informed of the result after a proper action has been taken on the same. Non-BJP leaders are taking advantage of this and they are presenting such letters to the public as proof of their work, while the BJP MPs feel they have got the wrong end of the deal.
