After leading his party to victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Narendra Modi takes oath as the Prime Minister of the 17th Lok Sabha at 7.00 pm today at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi

Narendra Modi will be sworn-in as the Prime Minister of India today at 7 am at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in an event that is expected to witness the presence of more than 6,000 guests including leaders of BIMSTEC countries, the Kyrgyz Republic and Mauritius.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday said that the ‘chemistry won against the arithmetic’ in the recently concluded Lok Sabha Election 2019. He was addressing a public rally during a thanksgiving visit to his constituency Varanasi on Monday after winning from the temple city by nearly 5 lakh votes.

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, who was trailing behind National Conference and Congress from the Anantnag seat, congratulated PM Narendra Modi for a landslide win in the Lok Sabha Election 2019.

The Congress had slammed her for the remark, saying that it is an "insult to the country". The party had demanded an apology from Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and BJP boss Amit Shah.

“Going to West Bengal for rally in Dum Dum. Let us see if Didi (Mamata Banerjee) allows it. If she has her way she will not allow helicopter to land,” said PM Modi at a rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Mau.

The decision was taken in view of clashes between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress over the last 24 hours, which resulted in largescale vandalism and damage to an iconic statue of 19th Century social reformer Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar.

The BJP chief said: “I have travelled the whole country, gauged the mood… after phase 5 and 6, the BJP has got the absolute majority and after phase 7 we will definitely cross the 300 mark.”

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday took a jibe at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah, questioning if he is a god that no one can protest against him.

Hours after his rally in West Bengal's Jadavpur was cancelled, Amit Shah held another public meeting where he said, “I am chanting Jai Shri Ram here today. If you have guts, Mamata didi, arrest me.”
