In New Delhi, the 17th Lok Sabha was dissolved on Wednesday at the recommendation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Cabinet, as announced by the Rashtrapati Bhavan. During the Cabinet meeting held on Wednesday, it was advised that the current Lok Sabha be dissolved immediately.
According to a communique issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan, President Droupadi Murmu accepted the Cabinet's advice on June 5, 2024, and signed the Order to dissolve the 17th Lok Sabha. This action was taken under the powers conferred upon her by Sub-clause (b) of Clause (2) of Article 85 of the Constitution. The current Lok Sabha was originally scheduled to end on June 16.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi tendered his resignation to President Murmu, who accepted it and requested him to continue in office until the new government is formed. In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the ruling National Democratic Alliance secured a majority, with the BJP winning 240 seats. However, this is the first time since 2014 that the BJP has fallen short of the magic number of 272 and will need support from its allies to form the government.
This development has caused much speculation and excitement as the country awaits the formation of the new government. With the NDA comfortably above the majority mark, all eyes are on the BJP and its potential alliances in the process of government formation. As the nation eagerly waits for the next steps, the political landscape is sure to see some interesting changes.
