In a spectacular ceremony held in the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Prime Minister Narendra on Sunday (June 9) was sworn in as prime minister for a record-equalling third term, heading a 72-member Union Council of Ministers that put emphasis on continuity, youth and experience while also rewarding partners in the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government.

Along with Modi, senior BJP leaders including Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, Nirmala Sitharaman and S Jaishankar, all ministers in the Modi 2.0 cabinet, took oath as cabinet ministers at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. They were among the 34 ministers whom Modi has retained from his outgoing council of ministers.

There were bugles, ceremonial guards, flowers and all the trappings of a grand spectacle at the oath taking ceremony that lasted 155 minutes. Nearly 9,000 people from all walks of life were estimated to be present for the grand event that began at 7.15 pm.
