NDA winners to meet tomorrow, elect Modi leader

May 24, 2019 16:20

The newly elected MPs of the BJP-led NDA will meet at 5 pm tomorrow where it is expected that they will formally elect PM Narendra Modi as their leader. BJP president Amit Shah is also expected to discuss portfolios with the winners tomorrow.

Reports also say that PM Modi will visit his constituency Varanasi on May 28th.

As you would recall, in 2014, after Modi's BJP won the election, he went to Varanasi and along with Rajnath Singh and Amit Shah were present during the Ganga aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat.

Sealing its phenomenal electoral victory with a 302-plus win, the BJP on Friday began discussing the process of government formation while the Congress dealt with the fallout of defeat with a spate of resignations from its top state leaders.

As the counting of votes for 542 Lok Sabha seats neared its end, the Narendra Modi-led party had 302 seats in its kitty and was leading in one, a super-sized victory that had its leaders excitedly looking forward to a second successive term in government.
