PM Modi Oath-Taking Ceremony:  Narendra Damodardas Modi, the leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), will be sworn in as the Prime Minister of India for the third straight term on June 9, 2024, at 7:15 pm at the Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi. The grand swearing-in ceremony will be graced by hundreds of guests, including heads of state, political leaders, film stars, sanitation workers, and beneficiaries of central schemes. Along with the Prime Minister, ministers in his council will also take their oaths.

This is the third consecutive time Narendra Modi will take the oath of secrecy and office as Prime Minister. The oath of the Prime Minister and other ministers encompasses a commitment to uphold the dignity of the office, to serve with honesty and impartiality, and to safeguard the sovereignty and integrity of India.

While the preparations for Narendra Modi's 2024 swearing-in have almost been completed and only hours remain before he officially starts working as the country's head of government, a look at his last two oath-taking ceremonies is a must.

Narendra Modi 2014 Oath Taking Ceremony:

'Na Main Aaya Hu, Na Mujhe Laya Gaya Hai, Mujhe Toh Ganga Ma Ne Bulaya Hai' (I feel neither anybody sent me nor have I come on my own. It is Maa Ganga who has called me..). These were the words of the erstwhile Chief Minister of Gujarat, who was fielded as the wielder of the saffron party's electoral ambitions in the 2014 Lok Sabha Election.

Riding the 'Modi Leher,' the party registered a decisive electoral victory in 2014, winning 282 seats, and Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister by then President Pranav Mukherjee on May 26, 2014.

The program witnessed the presence of SAARC state heads as well as prominent guests such as former President APJ Abdul Kalam, Pratibha Patil, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.

Narendra Modi 2019 Oath Taking Ceremony:

Though a circle of pollsters was suggesting some sort of 'anti-incumbency' ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in 2019, Pakistan's Pulwama terror attack and the subsequent retaliation by the PM Modi-led government through the Balakot airstrike shot up his public approval.

The Bharatiya Janata Party again emerged victorious in 2019, winning over 300 Lok Sabha seats, thus paving the way for a second oath-taking for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

PM Modi was sworn in by the President of India Ram Nath Kovind on May 30, 2019, at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the presence of hundreds of esteemed guests.
