He met the President after a meeting of leaders of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, who elected him as the leader.
"The President will administer the oath of office and secrecy to the Prime Minister and other members of the Union Council of Ministers at 7.15 pm on June 09, 2024, at Rashtrapati Bhavan," Rashtrapati Bhavan said in a post on X.
