Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday staked claim to form the next government after the NDA parliamentary party unanimously elected him as its leader.
At a meeting in the Central Hall of Parliament, Mr. Modi urged all NDA MPs to work in the spirit of inclusiveness and public service, namely
“Sabka saath, sabka vikas aur sabka vishwas”
[solidarity with everyone, development for all, with the trust of all].
Presents claim
NDA leaders, led by Mr. Modi, then met President Ram Nath Kovind to present the claim. Before his speech, Mr. Modi bowed before a copy of the Constitution.
His speech, too, ran with the theme of constitutional values and inclusiveness. “Our Constitution is a rich and extensive social document that encapsulates the dreams our freedom fighters had for the nation. Our only loyalty is to the Constitution and the values enshrined in it,” he said. Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena will attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s swearing-in in New Delhi on May 30, an official at the President’s office said. “It is confirmed. The President spoke to Mr. Modi yesterday,” the official told on Saturday.
Mr. Sirisena, who had sent a congratulatory message to Mr. Modi on Friday, spoke to him.
