Tejashwi Yadav reacted to his viral picture with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that both of them greeted each other, and Nitish called him to sit with him. "We greeted each other, I was allotted the seat behind him but he saw me and called me to sit with him," Tejashwi said, as quoted by news agency ANI. On Wednesday, prominent leaders from the NDA and INDIA bloc landed in Delhi to attend their respective meetings. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu were among the NDA leaders flying to Delhi. Nitish and his firmer INDIA ally and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav were coincidentally seen flying in the same plane to Delhi. After the NDA meeting, the alliance leaders unanimously elected Narendra Modi as their leader in the proposal passed by the leaders of the NDA in Delhi. The participation of Naidu and Nitish Kumar in the NDA meeting is a significant step, as the support of their parties is crucial for the BJP to form the government. INDIA bloc meeting is currently underway at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharges residence. The BJP won 240 seats, much lower than its 2019 tally of 303. The Congress, on the other hand, registered strong growth, winning 99 seats. The INDIA bloc crossed the 230 mark, posing stiff competition, and defying all predictions. Meanwhile, President Droupadi Murmu dissolved the 17th Lok Sabha on Wednesday after the recommendation of the Union Cabinet. "The President accepted the advice of the Cabinet on June 5, 2024, and signed the Order dissolving the 17th Lok Sabha in the exercise of the powers conferred upon her by Sub-Clause (2) of Article 85 of the Constitution," a statement issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan said on Wednesday.
