18th Lok Sabha Parliament | Number 18 Brings Good Luck For Indian Democracy, Says PM Modi | N18V

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday welcomed all newly-elected MPs and called for a responsible opposition ahead of the first session of the 18th Lok Sabha. BJP’s Bhartruhari Mahtab was sworn in as the pro-tem Speaker of the House.

The session will commence with the oath-taking ceremony of all the newly elected House members, including PM Modi. This term, the NDA holds a majority with 293 seats, while the BJP has 240 seats, which is just shy of the 272 majority mark on its own. The Opposition INDIA bloc on the other hand has 234 seats.

Lok Sabha MPs from the INDIA bloc will assemble in the Parliament complex Monday morning and march to the House together on the first day of the first session of the 18th Lok Sabha.

The MPs will gather near Gate No 2 of the old Parliament building, where the Gandhi statue once stood, a senior opposition party leader said.
