With Modi yet to announce the makeup of this cabinet, the ceremony at the presidential palace on Sunday evening
This handout photograph taken on June 9, 2024 and released by the Indian Press Information Bureau shows Prime Minister Narendra Modi signing the visitors’ book at the National War Memorial before his oath-taking ceremony for a third term in New Delhi.India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to be sworn in on Sunday for a third term after worse-than-expected election results left him reliant on coalition partners to govern.
It is widely reported that the Telugu Desam Party , the largest BJP ally with 16 seats, has extracted four cabinet positions.But Indian media reported widely that the top jobs including the four most powerful posts of the interior, foreign, finance and defence would remain in the BJP’s grip. Analysts said that the coalition will shift parliamentary politics and force Modi’s once domineering BJP into a somewhat more conciliatory approach.
Modi’s chief rival, Rahul Gandhi, was nominated on Saturday to lead India’s opposition in parliament after he defied analysts’ forecasts to help the Congress party nearly double its parliamentary numbers. Gandhi is the scion of the dynasty that dominated Indian politics for decades and is the son, grandson and great-grandson of former prime ministers, beginning with independence leader Jawaharlal Nehru.
