NDA partners hail Modi, vow to win 2019 LS polls under him

NEW DELHI: Setting their sight on the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, top NDA leaders today pledged to work unitedly to win a second term under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asserted his “strong” leadership was required for India’s progress.

Leaders of 33 NDA constituents also adopted a resolution endorsing Modi’s leadership and his government’s policies, while resolving to strengthen the alliance by expanding its base, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters.

Replying to a question as to whether presidential election also came up for discussion, Jaitley said,”It was not on the agenda.”

Replying to an identical question, TDP Chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said NDA partners will collectively take a call on that whenever the issue was deliberated upon.
