Modi to Address Crucial NDA Meeting Amidst Coalition Dynamics

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to deliver a significant speech to the National Democratic Alliance's parliamentary party meeting, his first address to MPs in the session since his third term began. The meeting is critical as BJP lost majority and the NDA coalition now relies on allies.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to deliver a crucial address at the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday. This will be his first speech to MPs of the ruling coalition during the initial session since commencing his third term in office.

Historically, Modi has addressed NDA MPs on select occasions, particularly when he was chosen as their leader ahead of each of his three terms. However, his speeches are more frequently directed at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs during parliamentary sessions.

Official sources confirmed that all BJP members and their alliance partners have been notified and urged to participate in Tuesday's gathering.

This development is significant as the BJP has, for the first time since 2014, lost its majority in the Lok Sabha following recent elections. The party now relies heavily on its allies for maintaining the government.

The BJP secured 240 seats, while its allies secured 53, allowing the NDA to comfortably exceed the halfway mark in the 543-member House.

The NDA meeting coincides with the discussions in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the Motion of Thanks to President Droupadi Murmu's address to a joint session of Parliament, where Modi is also expected to respond to the debates in both houses.
