TDP boss Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar of his Janata Dal (United) – which has more than 28 Lok Sabha seats for the BJP-led NDA and crucially – will be with outgoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Said
New Delhi:
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance which won 293 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to surpass a majority of 272 will look to form a new government on Saturday, when Narendra Modi will be sworn in as prime minister for a third term. This was told to NDTV on Wednesday.
Mr Modi was praised for his "leadership" and "the progress our nation has made under him" after being unanimously elected to lead the alliance this afternoon. They also appreciate his perseverance and contribution to the development of the country. NDA partners say they are still committed to achieving Mr. Modi's vision for a "Bhikshit Bharat". They praised him for uplifting India's position internationally.
After a meeting of senior BJP and NDA officials at Mr. Modi's residence earlier today to check the election results and discuss government formation, a delegation was scheduled to visit President Draupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan to stake claim to power.
Leaders of the Telugu Desam Party Chandrababu Naidu and Janata Dal Nitish Kumar were to be part of the trip. The BJP's coalition needs their combined 28 seats to remain afloat.
In Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Naidu's TDP secured 16 Lok Sabha seats (as well as a concurrent Assembly election to reclaim the Chief Ministership), whereas Nitish Kumar's JDU secured 12 seats in Bihar.
There have been rumors that the opposition INDIA alliance, which finished with 232 seats (40 short of a majority) and is considering a move for government formation, may approach Mr. Naidu and Nitish Kumar.
To counter that, the BJP has obtained formal letters of support from the leaders of the TDP and JDU.

The leaders of the TDP and JDU are important to Mr. Modi and the BJP; he specifically mentioned them in his victory speech on Tuesday night at the party headquarters in Delhi.

Sources stated that Congress may pursue Mr. Naidu and Nitish Kumar, two seasoned politicians skilled in coalition politics, as early as Tuesday night, when it became certain the BJP would not be able to form the government independently.
Although neither has shown their cards yet, rumors have it that they are considering several "demands," such as special status for their states and the ability to choose which ministerial vacancies to accept.
In a national election on Tuesday, the INDIA alliance defied exit pollsters to present the BJP with a serious challenge—the first since the 'Modi wave' propelled it to power in 2014.
This morning, he chaired the final cabinet meet of his second term, and downplayed any raised eyebrows over his party's performance; "Winning and losing are part of politics..."
"We have done good work for the last 10 years. We will continue doing so."
