Narendra Modi is expected to be sworn-in as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term on June 8, as the NDA secured just enough seats to win 292 seats, according to sources. If the NDA forms the government, Modi will become the second leader, after former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, to retain power for a third term.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Modi led a meeting of the Union Cabinet to assess the Lok Sabha election outcomes and deliberated on issues concerning the formation of the next government, according to sources.
The meeting at the Prime Minister’s residence commenced at 11:30 am. This marks the final session of the Modi 2.0 Cabinet and Council of Ministers. The Cabinet will also propose the dissolution of the current Lok Sabha, which completes its term on June 16.
