New Delhi: On Sunday, Narendra Modi was sworn in as Prime Minister for the third time, marking a historic moment in Indian politics. President Droupadi Murmu administered the oath to key figures, including Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and Nitin Gadkari. This event saw the inauguration of over 70+ leaders in the Modi 3.0 ministry, making it a significant day for the country.

Narendra Modi returned to power after the NDA's resounding victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where they secured 293 out of 543 seats. While the NDA emerged victorious, the BJP, its leading party, fell short of the majority mark on its own, winning 240 seats. This necessitated coalition-building efforts to ensure stable governance, highlighting the importance of coalition dynamics in India's parliamentary democracy.

The newly formed cabinet embodies diversity and inclusivity, comprising 30 Cabinet ministers, five Ministers of State with Independent Charge, and 36 Ministers of State. This comprehensive leadership team reflects a blend of experience, expertise, and regional representation, poised to address the nation's multifaceted challenges and opportunities.
