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.
