SummaryPM Manmohan Singh meets President Pranab Mukherjee and tenders his resignation.
Narendra Modi arrived here today to a rousing welcome, a day after storming to power with a landslide victory in the Lok Sabha elections.
Soon after emerging out of the Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Prime Minister-elect stood at the door of his SUV and waved victory sign to the cheering crowds of supporters wearing saffron caps and showing BJP flags.
He was received at the airport by a number of senior BJP leaders, including party chief Rajnath Singh.
Escorted by elite commandos, Modi undertook a roadshow with thousands of supporters greeting him at various places along the route from the airport to the party headquarters at Ashoka Road. BJP workers on motorcycles waving party flags were part of the roadshow.
