Keeping this in mind, a meeting of the leaders of all the parties included in NDA was held in Delhi under the leadership of Narendra Modi.

Both these leaders can give a tough time to Narendra Modi who is going to form a coalition government for the first time in his political career.

Narendra Modi met President Draupadi Murmu before the NDA meeting and resigned from the post of Prime Minister, he will hold the post of acting Prime Minister until he is sworn in as the new Prime Minister again. Before resigning, Modi called the last cabinet meeting of the current government, in which he discussed the election results. In the meeting, Modi said that victory and defeat are part of politics, the number game continues. After the recommendation of the cabinet, the President has dissolved the 17th Lok Sabha.
