Nitish Kumar And Chandrababu Naidu Hand Letter Of Support To BJP Paving Way for Modi Govt 3.0
The announcement comes moments after the NDA meeting at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on Wednesday.
Amid speculations over the NDA government formation, the ruling alliance partners Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu have handed over letter of support to the BJP.
The announcement comes moments after the NDA meeting at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on Wednesday.
PM Narendra Modi chaired a meeting of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance's members who unanimously elected him as its leader.
NDA MPs will again meet on June 7 to formally elect Modi as their leader and the alliance leaders will then go to the President to submit their letters of support, HAM (Secular) leader and former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said after attending the meeting.
The new government may be sworn in on Saturday, as per reports, adding that there is a view to wrap up the formalities quickly to not allow any mood of uncertainty to build up, something a buoyant opposition may push.
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 were among the 21 leaders from 16 parties who attended the meeting besides Modi and BJP's Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and J P Nadda.
"Met our valued NDA partners. Ours is an alliance that will further national progress and fulfil regional aspirations. We will serve the 140 crore people of India and work towards building a Viksit Bharat," Prime Minister Modi said on X after the meeting.
A resolution passed at the meeting said the NDA government will continue working to lift people's living standards for the country's all-round development while conserving its heritage.
The NDA has won 293 seats in the Lok Sabha election, comfortably above the majority mark of 272 in the 543-member House, paving the way for Modi to take the oath for a third consecutive term, a first for any ruling alliance since 1962.
