In New Delhi, a symphony of political minds convened on Thursday, orchestrating the early movements of the National Democratic Alliance’s ascension to power, steered by the seasoned leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The rendezvous took place at the residence of BJP president J P Nadda, symbolizing the party’s outreach to its allies, navigating the intricate waters of ministerial allocations and potential candidates within their ranks for the forthcoming coalition government. Anticipation looms over the NDA MPs’ assembly scheduled for Friday, poised to ceremoniously endorse Modi as their helmsman, with the inauguration of the new administration projected for the approaching weekend.
In anticipation of his third consecutive term at the helm of a conglomerate administration, Modi presided over a conclave on Wednesday, where the alliance members conferred upon him the mantle of leadership with unanimous accord. Concurrently, leaders from the BJP’s coalition partner, Janata Dal (United), engaged in consultations with party president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Although the regional party’s stance remains unannounced officially, murmurs suggest a pursuit of pivotal ministerial portfolios to reclaim lost terrain in Bihar, where recent electoral performances have showcased a resurgence, albeit trailing behind the BJP and the RJD in political sway over recent years.
With 12 MPs under its banner, the JD(U) stands as the BJP’s second-largest ally, trailing behind the Telugu Desam Party’s contingent of 16. The forthcoming BJP-led government hinges substantially on the support of these pivotal allies for its sustenance.
