Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to take the oath for his third term on June 8th, according to reports.
The Election Commission of India has declared the results for all Lok Sabha constituencies, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) securing 240 out of 543 seats and the Congress winning 99.
Despite a marginal drop in its vote share, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) comfortably surpassed the majority mark of 272 seats, ensuring the formation of the next government.
However, this election marks the first time since 2014 that the BJP has not reached the majority on its own, necessitating robust support from its allies.
The Janata Dal (United) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have both pledged their support, solidifying the NDA's position.
Preparations are underway for the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Modi, with sources indicating that the event will take place on June 8th.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has already arrived in Delhi to participate in NDA meetings aimed at shaping the agenda for Modi's third term, dubbed "Modi 3.0."
Meanwhile, the opposition bloc, INDIA, fell short by 39 seats to reach the majority mark, despite Congress increasing its tally to 99 seats.
Strategic meetings are being held by both the NDA and INDIA alliances in Delhi to outline their political maneuvers in this new parliamentary landscape.
