Narendra Modi Sworn in for Second Term After Landslide Election Victory

By NDP newsroom

Narendra Modi has been sworn in for his second term as India's Prime Minister following a decisive victory in the recent general election. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies secured a commanding majority in the Lok Sabha, winning 354 out of 545 seats. Modi retained his seat in Varanasi with a margin of nearly half a million votes, making him the first leader since 1971 to win back-to-back elections with a single-party majority.

The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi, attended by thousands, including foreign leaders, Bollywood stars, and industrialists. However, notable figures such as Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan were not invited. Opposition leaders, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, were present, though several prominent figures, like West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, chose to skip the event amid political tensions.

The election, widely seen as a referendum on Modi's leadership, saw his campaign dominated by national security issues, particularly after tensions with Pakistan escalated in Kashmir. Modi's BJP-led government is now tasked with addressing India's economic slowdown and providing jobs, while continuing its agenda of national security and Hindu nationalism.

Despite the victory, Modi's government faced a setback when Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced his resignation due to health reasons. As Modi begins his second term, he faces both domestic and international challenges, with the promise of continued political consolidation and economic reforms.

Modi’s BJP Triumphs in Delhi After 27 Years, AAP Faces Crushing Defeat

By NDP newsroom
New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a historic victory in Delhi, ending a 27-year-long wait to reclaim the state and delivering a resounding defeat to Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The BJP’s landslide win signals a clear rejection of AAP’s governance and a strong endorsement of Modi’s leadership and development agenda. In the 70-seat Delhi Assembly, BJP secured 48 seats, while AAP’s tally collapsed from 63 in 2020 to just 22. The Congress party, once a dominant force in Delhi politics, failed to win a single seat for the third consecutive election. The results reflect growing voter discontent with AAP’s governance, corruption allegations, and political confrontations with the central government. As celebrations erupted at BJP offices, Modi took to X to declare, “Development wins, good governance triumphs.” Kejriwal, once seen as a formidable challenger to mainstream parties, suffered a personal and political blow by losing his ...
