MUMBAI: The Union Cabinet met at the Prime Minister’s residence on Wednesday morning, a day after the declaration of the election results. It has recommended the dissolution of the 17th Lok Sabha, sources said.
The meeting began at 11.30 am and was followed by a meeting of the council of ministers, the sources added. This was the last meeting of Modi 2.0’s cabinet and council of ministers. The Cabinet’s recommendation on the dissolution of the current Lok Sabha paves the way for the 18th Lok Sabha.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tendered his resignation along with the Council of Ministers to President Droupadi Murmu.
“The President has accepted the resignation and requested Shri Narendra Modi and the Council of Ministers to continue till the new government assumes office,” a press communique said.
Modi is likely to be sworn in as the Prime Minister for a third consecutive term on June 8 evening, sources said.
The NDA scraped past the majority mark to win 292 seats, but the BJP fell short of the majority on its own. If the NDA forms the government, Modi will be the second leader to retain power for a third term after former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
