The President dissolved the 17th Lok Sabha
There has been a lot of political activity in the capital Delhi since the results of the Lok Sabha elections were announced. On Wednesday, the NDA and the opposition All India Alliance held separate meetings in Delhi. Future strategies were discussed between the allies of both the alliances. The Union Cabinet meeting held at the PM residence on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the recommendation to dissolve the current Lok Sabha. After that President Draupadi Murmu dissolved the 17th Lok Sabha. The President also organized a farewell dinner for the Modi cabinet.
This time a khichdi (a kind of) government
Rashtrapati Bhavan had issued a statement on Tuesday itself saying that due to preparations for the swearing-in of the new Union Cabinet, Rashtrapati Bhavan will remain closed for the general public from 5 to 9 June. Note that in the election results that came on Tuesday, 4 June, the BJP-led NDA has again got a majority with 293 seats. On the other hand, the alliance of other opposition parties including Congress has been reduced to 234 seats. BJP alone has got 240 seats which is 32 less than the majority figure of 272. On the other hand, the Congress party has been able to reach only 99 seats even after improving its performance. It is clear that even if Narendra Modi becomes the Prime Minister this time, he will have to run the government with the support of the alliance parties.
