The Prime Minister met President Kovind on Saturday and staked claim to form the NDA government for the second time after five years in power. Names of new ministers have been kept under wraps but President Kovind’s tweet indicated that PM Modi’s cabinet of ministers will join him in taking oath. The government has also not announced the guest list for the swearing-in ceremony.

After the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance won a resounding majority in the Lok Sabha elections by securing 352 seats, Modi thanked all the NDA leaders and said the nation has given him a massive mandate and the government would work to meet the people’s aspirations.
