Narendra Modi will today take oath as the Prime Minister of India at a mega event in the national capital. After having run two successive governments with massive mandates, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart will become the head of a coalition government. A host of foreign dignitaries, including several heads of neighbouring countries, will attend Modi’s swearing-in ceremony.
The Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the single-largest party after the Lok Sabha elections. However, the party’s tally of 240 seats was 32 short of a simple majority in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the parliament. Narendra Modi’s third government will rely on the support of his National Democratic Alliance partners N Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar, whose parties won a total of 28 Lok Sabha seats.
Narendra Modi, along with his council of ministers, is expected to take oath of office at the Rashtrapati Bhavan at 7.15 pm.
