After receiving the letter of appointment as the country's next prime minister on May 25, Narendra Modi said he will continue to work for the welfare of his countrymen during his second consecutive term as the premier.
He said his new government will strive to fulfill the
aspirations of the people of India, after getting such a strong mandate in the
just-concluded general elections. While Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won
in a record 303 parliamentary constituencies, the ruling National Democratic
Alliance (NDA) together garnered 353 constituencies out of the total 542 that
went to polls.
Earlier in the day, President
Ram Nath Kovind appointed Modi as the prime minister after receiving letters of
support from the ruling NDA.
"Exercising powers
vested in him under Article 75 (1) of the Constitution of India, President
Kovind on Saturday appointed Narendra Modi to the office of Prime Minister of
India," said the official Twitter account of the President of India.
Another tweet from the
president said, "The president requested Narendra Modi to advise him about
the names of others to be appointed members of the Union Council of Ministers,
and indicate the date and time of the swearing-in-ceremony to be held at Rashtrapati
Bhavan (President House)."
