Modi’s BJP-led National Democratic Alliance won the general election with 293 seats but worse-than-expected election results left him reliant on coalition partners to govern. The election saw a resurgence of India’s opposition, which won 234 seats.
The leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party took his oath, saying he would “do right to all manner of people without affection or ill-will”.
Thousands of guests have been attending his inauguration at Delhi’s presidential palace. Among them are the heads of neighboring Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives – but not Pakistan or China.
