Kamal Haasan Congratulates Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Historic Third Term at Rashtrapati Bhavan Ceremony
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the oath for his third successive term during a grand ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday evening, an event marked by its magnificence and attended by numerous dignitaries. Among the many who extended their congratulations was acclaimed actor Kamal Haasan, who expressed his best wishes through a heartfelt post on social media.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kamal Haasan lauded PM Modi’s leadership and expressed hope for a united and progressive India. He wrote, “Nations that harness their greatest strength – their people – shall accomplish the greatest glories. Congratulations to the Hon. Prime Minister of India, Shri @narendramodiji, on your third term. In the spirit of national interest, unity, and patriotic duty, let the elected representatives of the 18th Lok Sabha, work together to fulfil the dream of a stronger, brighter, and more inclusive India. Jai Hind!” The post encapsulated the actor’s vision for collaborative governance and national prosperity.
The oath of office was administered by President Droupadi Murmu, with the ceremony reflecting the rich cultural diversity and vibrancy of India. Leaders from neighboring countries and the Indian Ocean region, senior political figures, diplomats, leading industrialists, Bollywood celebrities, and other prominent personalities were in attendance, underscoring the event’s significance on both national and international stages.
Prime Minister Modi, donning a traditional full-sleeved white kurta with churidar and a blue half jacket, embodied a blend of tradition and modernity. His attire mirrored his leadership style, which has often combined respect for heritage with a forward-looking vision.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured a commanding victory in the recent Lok Sabha elections, winning 293 seats. The BJP alone garnered 240 seats, solidifying its dominance in the 543-member lower house of the Indian Parliament, where 272 seats constitute a majority. This electoral success has reinforced Modi’s position as a pivotal leader in Indian politics.
PM Modi’s third term places him alongside Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, as the only leaders to have achieved this milestone. This accomplishment reflects the enduring support and trust that the Indian electorate has in Modi’s leadership and vision for the country’s future.
The event at Rashtrapati Bhavan was not only a celebration of political victory but also a testament to India’s democratic resilience and cultural richness. As Kamal Haasan’s congratulatory message highlighted, the path forward lies in unity and collective effort towards a stronger and more inclusive India.
