In a momentous event at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India for an unprecedented third consecutive term. President Droupadi Murmu administered the oath of the PM and Cabinet Ministers of India 2024, marking the beginning of a new chapter in India’s political landscape.
The NDA secured an impressive 292 seats out of the 543-member Lok Sabha. However, it’s worth noting that their numbers have dipped compared to previous elections. In 2019, the NDA won a whopping 353 seats, with the BJP alone bagging 303. This time, the BJP registered a win on 240 seats. The Congress-led INDIA bloc emerged as a formidable opposition, securing victory on 234 seats. This marks a significant improvement for the Congress party compared to its performance in 2014 and 2019.
Narendra Modi’s journey to this historic moment has been remarkable. He is the first leader since Jawaharlal Nehru to be elected for a third consecutive term after completing the full tenure of each previous term. His leadership has left an indelible mark on India’s socio-economic fabric, with initiatives like “Make in India,” “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan,” and “Digital India.”
Alongside Modi, his council of ministers including the Cabinet Ministers of India 2024 took their oaths. Prominent leaders from various states stood on the grand stage, pledging their commitment to serve the nation. Rajnath Singh, the outgoing Defence Minister, stood by Modi’s side, symbolizing continuity and stability.
