Leaders of the BJP-led NDA unanimously elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the leader of the ruling alliance on Wednesday, passing a resolution to underscore the government’s commitment to serving the poor, women, youths, farmers and deprived sections.
The NDA leaders, including Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar, met at PM Modi’s residence in New Delhi a day after the NDA won a majority of seats in the Lok Sabha election, paving the way for him to take the oath for a third consecutive term, a first for any ruling alliance since 1962.
TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, LJP(R) leader Chirag Paswan and NCP leader Praful Patel were among those who attended the meeting.
The resolution said the NDA government will continue working to lift people’s living standards for the country’s all-round development while conserving its heritage.
“We are all proud that the NDA fought the 2024 Lok Sabha polls unitedly under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and won. We all NDA leaders unanimously elect Narendra Modi as our leader,” it added.
The resolution also said that people have seen the country being developed in every sector in the last 10 years due to the pro-people policies of the NDA government under Modi.
