Following the announcement of election results, a crucial NDA gathering convened at the Prime Minister`s residence on June 5. During this assembly, Narendra Modi emerged as the unanimous choice to lead the NDA alliance. Notable attendees included JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, alongside other key figures like Chirag Paswan and Ekanath Shinde. Post-meeting, PM Modi engaged in informal discussions with NDA partners, particularly garnering attention for his exchange with CM Nitish Kumar, which circulated widely on social media. Anticipation surrounded Nitish Kumar potentially shifting allegiance, amidst BJP`s near-majority situation. Yet, Naidu and Nitish`s presence underscored NDA`s strength, solidified by the Lok Sabha`s resounding mandate of over 290 seats. Sources indicate NDA`s formal submission of support to the President on June 7, paving the way for Narendra Modi`s historic third term inauguration on June 8.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar vowed to remain in BJP-led alliance in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Bihar’s Jamui on April 04. He said, “Wo To Jhuth-Muth Ka Hum Bich Me Ek Baar sath Kar Liye The To aaj Wo Baat Karta Hai`, but when I saw that he is doing wrong, I left them (RJD). And we are together forever now. `Ab Kabhi Idhar Udhar Nahi Hone Waale Hai`. PM Modi has been in the central govt for 10 years, and he has done so much work for Bihar and the country. Since, we assumed power, Hindu-Muslim riots have stopped, I would like to appeal to the Muslim community that if you mistakenly vote for them (opposition), again those riots will start.” Watch video for more.
