If the exit poll results prove to be correct, Modi will be the second Prime Minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to hold office for the third consecutive time. The election results will be declared on June 4. Much before the Lok Sabha elections began, Modi had tasked various government ministries to prepare a 100-day agenda for the new government. He has asked his council of ministers to prioritize programs and initiatives for the first 100 days.
