On Sunday, Narendra Modi, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP), will take the oath of office as India’s prime minister for a record-equal third term.

The ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. local time ( 12.30 GMT ), according to a senior party leader.

On Tuesday, a BJP- led coalition, the National Democratic Alliance ( NDA ), won the general election with 293 seats.

The results were unexpected as the BJP did not win an outright majority as several exit polls had predicted.

Several days of doubt arose as a result of this: whether empire partners would support Mr. Modi and the BJP or engage in negotiations with an opposition alliance to try and form the government.

However, NDA leaders endorsed Mr. Modi as the coalition’s chief and their candidate for prime minister on Friday.

Mr. Modi thanked his allies and stated that the NDA do make every effort to manage the nation properly and advance it at the meeting in the capital of Delhi.

” NDA has completed around three decades ]as an alliance], this is no ordinary thing. I may say that this is the most powerful empire”, he added.

The BJP won 240 votes in the election, some seats little of the 272 required to get a lot in India’s 543 part congress.

However, two key BJP allies, the Telugu Desam Party ( TDP ) and the Janata Dal ( United ) ( JD ( U)), won 16 and 12 seats each in their respective states, pushing the NDA comfortably over the half- way mark.

Media reports had earlier speculated that the opposition alliance, which won 234 seats, might approach the TDP and JD ( U) to support the bloc and stake claim to form the government.

That skepticism has been dispelled by Friday’s BJP notification.

The partnership will release the names of officials in the coming days and appoint important portfolio.

What agreements, such as financial benefits to their claims or crucial ministries, may be given to regional parties to maintain their membership will also be of interest.

Media reports suggest that TDP head, Chandrababu Naidu, may request for his position, Andhra Pradesh, to be given special status in trade for his help.

This position provides a position with certain financial incentives for its growth.

Due to disagreements over this specific need, Mr. Naidu left the NDA in 2018. He re- joined the alliance weeks before this week’s public vote.

His group has not made an official declaration regarding this need.

Mr. Modi formally resigned on Wednesday, to President Droupadi Murmu, and the legislature was disbanded, a formal action before a new prime minister and Lawmakers are sworn in.
