New Delhi—Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday was formally elected as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance coalition, which won the most number of seats in the country’s national election after his political party failed to win a majority on its own.

“This alliance of ours reflects India’s spirit in its true sense,” Modi said after the BJP and coalition members backed him as their prime ministerial candidate. “We were neither defeated nor are we defeated…it was an NDA government in the past, still is and will be,” he added. Before Modi was formally elected as the NDA leader, local media reported that the two key regional allies which can make or break his coalition government—the Telugu Desam Party in southern Andhra Pradesh state and Janata Dal in eastern Bihar state—were eyeing posts in important ministries, some of which the BJP have held so far.
