At NDA meet, Key allies Naidu and Nitish endorse Narendra Modi for third term as PM
New Delhi: Key members of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) have thrown their support behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a third consecutive term. TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and JDU's Nitish Kumar publicly accepted the proposal to elect Modi as the alliance's prime ministerial candidate during a NDA meet in New Delhi.
Expressing confidence in Modi's leadership, Naidu stated, "Today India is having the right leader at the right time. We are very confident under his leadership India will become the 1st or 2nd largest economy in the next 5 years."
In his address, Nitish Kumar criticized the Opposition INDIA alliance and pledged his party's unwavering support to PM Modi, saying, "Opposition bloc has not done any work for the country, I will be with PM Modi at all times. All the pending works of Bihar will be done. It is a very good thing that all of us have come together and we will all work together with you (PM Modi)."
These endorsements come amidst speculation that the TDP and JDU are vying for significant portfolios in the new cabinet, set to be sworn in on Sunday.
The NDA secured 293 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha, marking a significant victory. However, with the BJP securing only 240 seats, four key allies - including Chandrababu Naidu's TDP, Nitish Kumar's JDU, Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, and Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas - are crucial to the BJP's path to forming a majority government.

NDRF, SDRF teams continue efforts to rescue 3-yr-old girl from borewell in Rajasthan
Jaipur, Dec 24: Efforts to rescue a three-year-old girl who fell into a 150 feet deep borewell in Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan continued on Tuesday.
The girl, Chetna, fell into the borewell while playing in the agriculture farm of her father on Monday.
SHO Sarund Mohammad Imran said teams of NDRF and SDRF are trying to rescue the girl safely.
Senior Commandant of NDRF Yogesh Meena said, "After failing to safely pull out the girl from the borewell with a ring rod, efforts are being made to pull her out with another local equipment made of iron plate."
The girl's actions were captured on camera and an oxygen pipe was lowered into the borewell to supply oxygen.
Two weeks ago, a five-year-old child fell into a borewell in Dausa district. The rescue operation to rescue the child safely lasted for more than 55 hours. However, by the time he was pulled out, the child had lost the battle of life.
