Lok Sabha Election Result: NDA Set to Form Government for Third Time! Narendra Modi Likely to Take Oath as PM on This Date

The aftermath of the Lok Sabha elections has stirred up considerable interest, especially as the results have surprised many. While the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured a majority, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fell short of its anticipated landslide victory. With the NDA garnering a majority, discussions have swiftly turned towards the formation of the third consecutive Narendra Modi-led government in the country. 

The date and time for the oath-taking ceremony of the new government have been reportedly finalized, with sources suggesting it may occur on the evening of June 8th. Concurrently, discussions and negotiations with potential allies for the new cabinet have gained momentum, indicating that the naming of ministers might be finalized within the next two to three days.

New Record on the Horizon

Following his swearing-in for the third time as Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is poised to set yet another record. He will join the ranks of few leaders in the country’s history who have consistently won three consecutive elections and served as Prime Minister. 

This record was previously held by Jawaharlal Nehru. Modi’s achievement will stand shoulder to shoulder with Nehru’s legacy of being elected Prime Minister for three consecutive terms.
