Naidu said the meeting took place in an amicable atmosphere and it was a good beginning.
Thanking the Prime Minister, Finance Minister and Home Minister for attending the breakfast meeting, he said it is a tradition to call all parties at the beginning of the Session and the various leaders attending it appreciated it. The leaders of smaller parties, who do not get representation in the Business Advisory Committees, were particularly keen that such meetings should continue.

When some members raised the chairmanship of Standing Committees, he said the same will be given according to representation of various parties. "All parties will be given membership in the Committees," he said, adding the government understands the importance of making such panels truly representative of all sections.
