India's Prime Minister Modi Is Inaugurated For 3rd Term

NEW DELHI, INDIA - JUNE 09: India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi stands next to India's President Droupadi Murmu at a swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan on June 09, 2024 in New Delhi, India. The election has been a chastening experience for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has traded on its Hindu-majoritarian credentials in an effort to win a bigger slice of the national vote, and instead secured a smaller share of the vote than 2019, forcing it to rely on minor parties to form government. The vote went against the incumbent government, especially in the "cow belt" heartlands of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, where the BJP had flexed its Hindu-majoritarian credentials in the lead-up to the vote.
