Narendra Modi elected as NDA leader, poised to become PM for rare 3rd term
New Delhi/IBNS: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart Narendra Modi was on Friday elected as the leader of the ruling coalition NDA, paving way for his consecutive third term.
Modi is set to become the second politician after Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to become Prime Minister for the third consecutive term.
However, unlike his previous two terms, Modi this time requires the support of his allies to form government as the BJP stopped at 240, 32 short of the majority mark (272).
The TDP (16 seats), JDU (12 seats), Eknath Shinde faction of Shiv Sena (7 seats) and Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas (5 seats) have emerged as the kingmakers.
