Narendra Modi, who is all set to be the Prime Minister for a third time, met BJP veterans LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi in Delhi before staking claim to form the next government at the Centre for a third consecutive term.
Modi visited the leaders after he was elected as the leader of the NDA parliamentary party during a meeting in Delhi.
Apart from the two leaders, Modi also met former President Ram Nath Kovind at the latter's residence.
Earlier today during the NDA meeting in Delhi, Modi said he would strive to ensure unanimity in all decisions of his next government and asserted that the NDA is an organic alliance committed to the principle of 'nation first'.
He also stated that NDA government in the next 10 years will focus on good governance, development, quality of life and minimum interference in the lives of common citizens.
NDA leaders including N Chandrababu Naidu (TDP), Nitish Kumar (JDU), H D Kumarswamy (JDS), Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena), Chirag Paswan (LJP-RV), Ajit Pawar (NCP), Anupriya Patel (Apna Dal-S), Pawan Kalyan (Jana Sena) attended the meeting along with newly elected MPs from the ruling alliance.
Modi is all set to take oath as Prime Minister for a third time on June 9 after the BJP-led NDA crossed the majority mark of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
However, BJP alone secured only 240 seats and was therefore critically dependent on its allies for government formation.
