IN a significant development, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tendered his resignation to President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday, following the recommendation of his cabinet to dissolve the lower house of parliament, Lok Sabha.
President Murmu accepted Modi’s resignation, along with that of the council of ministers, while requesting Modi to continue serving as prime minister until the formation of the new government, as confirmed by an official from the President’s House.
Modi’s resignation marks a customary step in the process preceding the formation of a new government in India.
The Election Commission of India released official data on its website early Wednesday, indicating that the ruling National Democratic Alliance, spearheaded by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, is poised to lead the next government.
With Modi’s resignation paving the way for the formation of a new administration, India awaits the unfolding of the next chapter in its political landscape.
