Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan brought a touch of glamour to the oath-taking ceremony of PM-designate Narendra Modi at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi. The charismatic actor arrived at the event with his manager Pooja Dadlani, looking dapper in black attire and sporting his signature ponytail look.
The ceremony was not only graced by prominent political figures but also saw the attendance of notable personalities from various fields, including industrialist Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Industries, who was accompanied by his son Anant Ambani.
Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi is set to assume office for a third consecutive term, marking a significant milestone in India’s political landscape. Along with Modi, members of his council of ministers will take their oaths this evening, reflecting the unity and collective vision of the new government.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured an impressive victory in the Lok Sabha elections, winning a total of 293 seats. This solidifies their position in the 543-strong lower house of the Indian parliament, where 272 is the minimum majority figure required.
PM Modi’s achievement of securing a third term places him in an exclusive league, making him only the second Indian leader to accomplish this feat after the founding prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
As anticipation builds for the evening ceremony, Delhi has been adorned with posters featuring the PM-designate, creating an atmosphere of excitement and celebration. To ensure the smooth flow of the event, around 1,100 traffic police personnel from the Delhi Police have been deployed. Additionally, an advisory has been issued to the public regarding the traffic movement route arrangements made for the delegates attending the Prime Minister’s oath ceremony.
The swearing-in ceremony of PM Modi has attracted several distinguished guests, including leaders and state heads from neighboring regions and the Indian Ocean region. This display of unity and solidarity underscores India’s ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy, emphasizing the importance of fostering strong relationships with neighboring nations.
