Exit polls suggest that India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to secure a third consecutive term in office. BJP leaders have welcomed these predictions, which indicate a significant majority for the NDA in the Lok Sabha elections.
In contrast, opposition leaders have dismissed the exit polls, labeling them as a "psychological and corporate game."
Anticipating a third term in office, with most exit polls predicting a landslide victory for the NDA, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is planning a major "political" event.
This celebration will take place at Bharat Mandapam or Kartavya Path and is expected to attract between 8,000 and 10,000 attendees. The event is scheduled for the weekend following the election results.
In preparation for the Lok Sabha election 2024 results, the President’s Secretariat issued a tender on May 28 for the supply of decorative indoor and ornamental plants.
The tender, valued at ₹21.97 lakh, is intended for the “swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister and other ministers at Rashtrapati Bhavan."
