Narendra Damodar Das Modi takes oath in the name of God in chaste Hindi on the fore court lawn in Rashtrapati Bhavan on Monday evening at 6 PM. In a shortest ever oath any Indian Prime Minister has taken, Modi ends his swearing-in speech in about a minute.
The swearing of India’s 15th Prime Minister took place amid tight security, with over 6000 air and defence personnel, NSGs, SPGs and Delhi Police guarding the entire Raisina Hill, where the imposing President House is located.
The guest list was as spectacular as the swearing-in itself, with an array of heads of SAARC nations besides Mauritius PM Ramgulam, leaders of political parties, prominent industrialists and film stars gracing the historic occasion.
