Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised at the first NDA parliamentary party meeting of the 18th Lok Sabha on Friday that the grouping has lasted over three decades because it is a «organic alliance” dedicated to nation-building. Modi, who will lead a coalition government for the first time in his career, noted that the NDA has lasted over 30 years and is India's most successful pre-poll coalition.

“NDA has the majority, but consensus is more important to run the country. We shall strive for success and leave no stone unturned. An honest review of the NDA reveals a commitment to nation-building rather than going after power. NDA is organic,” the prime minister said. Equal significance of all partners and working together, not for “photo ops” but at the grassroots is a primary factor that has led to NDA’s growth.
“There should be an airtight bond between the regional and national aspirations for the country to grow,” he said.
