Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni Congratulate PM Narendra Modi For Historic Third Term for BJP-led NDA

Global leaders, including Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni, extend their congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his third consecutive electoral victory, highlighting strengthened international cooperation and bilateral ties.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) have secured a historic third consecutive term in the Lok Sabha elections. The results, announced on Tuesday, showed the NDA poised to win 291 seats, with the opposition INDIA bloc securing 234 seats and other parties claiming 18 seats. This election result underscores a significant political milestone, marking the first time since 1962 that a government completing two full terms has been elected for a third term.

Global leaders were quick to congratulate PM Modi and his party on their victory. Among them, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her warm wishes and optimism about future collaboration. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Meloni stated, "Congratulations to @narendramodi on the new electoral victory and my warmest wishes for good work. Certain that we will continue to work together to strengthen the friendship that unites Italy and India and consolidate cooperation on the various issues that bind us, for the well-being of our Nations and our peoples."

Other leaders, including Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda), Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, and Mauritian Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth, also conveyed their congratulations, reflecting the widespread international acknowledgment of India's electoral process and the significance of this political achievement.

The close contest saw a much tighter race than predicted by exit polls, which had anticipated a sweeping victory for the NDA. Despite the competitive landscape, the NDA's ability to form a government for the third consecutive time is a testament to its enduring appeal and the strong mandate from the Indian electorate.

In his remarks at the BJP central office, Prime Minister Modi attributed the victory to the resolve for a developed India ('Viksit Bharat') and the inclusive development agenda ('Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas'). He emphasized that this win represents the people's unwavering faith in India's Constitution and democratic framework.

The re-election of the NDA is set to bring continued political stability and policy continuity to India, allowing the government to pursue its developmental and reform agendas with renewed vigor. The victory also highlights the effectiveness of BJP's strategies and the leadership of Narendra Modi, who has been instrumental in navigating the party through successive electoral successes.

As India embarks on this new political chapter, the global community looks forward to strengthened bilateral relations and enhanced cooperation on various fronts, from economic development to strategic partnerships. The continued leadership of Narendra Modi is expected to play a crucial role in shaping India's future trajectory and its role on the global stage.
