Indian cricketers arouse to congratulate PM Narendra Modi on Lok Sabha victory

It was quite a historic day for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and their allies as the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) clean swept most of the seats pan India in the Lok Sabha elections. Riding on this massive saffron surge, Narendra Modi is all set to take oath for the second consecutive time as the Prime Minister of the country. BJP this time as well will not need the support from any other political parties and can form the government all by themselves as they’ve gained a clear and massive majority.

While 272 out of the 543 seats are to be won by a party or an alliance, BJP alone captured nearly 300 of them. Thus, Narendra Modi will become the first non-Congress Prime Minister to hold office for the second consecutive term. Jawaharlal Nehru and his daughter Indira Gandhi were the only other Prime Ministers to have achieved this feat earlier.
