New Delhi, May 28 (IBNS): Two days ahead of the swearing-in ceremony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met former President Pranab Mukherjee to seek blessings on Tuesday.

In a couple of pictures shared on Twitter, Modi said: "Meeting Pranab Da is always an enriching experience. His knowledge and insights are unparalleled. He is a statesman who has made an indelible contribution to our nation. Sought his blessings during our meeting today."

Modi, who was appointed as the Prime Minister by President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday, will take oath on Thursday.

Last week, Modi had met with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veterans Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, who were denied tickets by the saffron party in the 2019 General Elections.

The BJP swept the polls by winning 303 seats. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) got 353 seats.

Modi won from Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi by close to five lakh votes.
