New Delhi: In an eventful Friday after his landmark victory in the Lok Sabha elections on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the Council of Ministers to tender his resignation and officially recommend the dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha.
In a tweet, Modi thanked the council for "leaving no stone unturned to fulfill people's aspirations and boost India's development".

Modi's meeting with the council was followed by a visit to the Rashtrapati Bhawan where he called on President Ramnath Kovind, who accepted the resignations and requested Modi and the ministers to carry their out duties until a new government is in place.
Modi poetically responded to Kovind's tweet accepting his resignation, saying, "The sun sets on this term but the brightness our work has brought will continue to illuminate the lives of millions."
