After being unanimously chosen as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)
PM Modi is set to form the government for the third consecutive time.
This happened after the NDA’s alliance meeting on Wednesday, in which Nitish Kumar and N Chandrababu Naidu were there to support the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart as the alliance’s leader.
While showing support for Modi, the Janata Dal-United (JDU) supremo, Nitish Kumar, gave the BJP leader two words of advice: “Jaldi Kijiye.”
As per media reports, the Bihar CM stressed on the need to form the government immediately. That there should not be any delay in forming the government. We should do it as soon as possible
The new government will be sworn in on Sunday 9 June as per sources.
News agencyreports that the formalities will be completed quickly to avoid any last-minute uncertainty that could spoil the unity of the NDA alliance.
HAM (Secular) leader and former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said after attending the NDA meeting that the NDA MPs will meet on June 7 to formally elect Narendra Modi as their leader and then go to the president to submit their letters of support.
Twenty-one leaders from 16 parties, including TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, LJP(R) leader Chirag Paswan, JD(S) leader H D Kumarawamy, Jana Sena’s Pawan Kalyan, AGP’s Atul Bora and NCP’s Praful Patel attended the NDA meeting on Wednesday.
After the meeting, the caretaker PM Modi lauded the NDA partners and asserted that the alliance would “progress and fulfil regional aspirations.” The alliance will “serve the 140 crore people of India and work towards building a Viksit Bharat,” he said.
In the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, the NDA alliance won 293 seats, which is above the majority mark of 272 in the 543-member House. This paved the way for Modi to take the oath for a third consecutive term, a first for any ruling alliance since 1962.
