At the NDA meeting held today at the Samvidhan Bhavan of the Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched the Constitution to his forehead in a poignant gesture of respect and reverence. As the newly elected parliamentarians of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance gathered to choose a leader for the alliance, PM Modi’s emotional act stood out. Upon entering the meeting to chants of “Modi, Modi”, he walked straight to the Constitution and bowed to it, before picking it up and touching it to his forehead as a mark of his deep devotion to the ideals enshrined in the Constitution. The alliance members were visibly moved and applauded him for this heartfelt gesture.

In a tweet shared by PM Modi, he expressed, “Every moment of my life is dedicated to the great values of the Constitution of India given by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. It is our Constitution, due to which a person like me, born in a poor and backward family, got the opportunity to serve the nation. It is our Constitution, due to which today crores of countrymen are getting hope, strength, and a dignified life.” This emotional connection to the Constitution highlights the significance of the document in providing opportunities for all sections of society to contribute to the nation’s progress.

During the meeting, senior BJP leader and MP Rajnath Singh proposed PM Modi as the leader of the NDA’s parliamentary party, a decision that was unanimously accepted by the members. This nomination sets the stage for PM Modi to return as the Prime Minister for an unprecedented third term, following in the footsteps of Jawaharlal Nehru as the only other PM to achieve this feat. The PM will be taking oath on June 9, marking the beginning of his new term at the helm of the government.

Despite falling short of the majority mark in the recent elections, the BJP and its allies in the NDA secured a significant number of seats, reaffirming their mandate to lead the country. The moments captured at the NDA meeting, particularly PM Modi’s touching gesture towards the Constitution, serve as a poignant reminder of the values and principles that underpin the nation’s governance and the leaders’ commitment to upholding them.
