Narendra Modi has taken oath as the Prime Minister of India for the third time. BJP could not get majority in the elections, due to which it had to depend on its alliance partners NDA. Media around the world is calling it a rare moment. The swearing-in ceremony was held at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, in which leaders of many neighboring countries of India participated.
He became PM for the third time in a row
The report calls it a rare opportunity and says, 'Modi is the first Indian leader to become PM for the third consecutive time since independence after Jawaharlal Nehru, whose party BJP lost 63 seats in the elections, predicting a landslide victory. Exit polls have fallen. Analysts have said that PM Modi will now have to learn diplomatic skills to run the government, slow down politically controversial reform plans and meet the BJP's Hindu nationalist goals.
What did the Pakistani media say?
PM Modi's swearing-in was also discussed in the Pakistani media. One media wrote that 'Narendra Modi became PM for a record-breaking third time on Sunday. He has come to power with a coalition that will test his ability. Modi, who started as a pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological parent of the BJP, is the second person after Jawaharlal Nehru to serve three consecutive terms as Prime Minister.'
Concerns raised about coalition
A Pakistani newspaper wrote that, 'After a shocking setback in the election, Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India for a third term on Sunday. His ability to ensure policy certainty in a coalition government in the world's most populous country will be tested. Another media outlet wrote that 'his Hindu nationalist BJP won a landslide majority in 2014 and 2019. In the recent national elections, it failed to secure a majority on its own. This is the first time that the Modi-led BJP needs the support of its regional allies for a majority in Parliament. So another media wrote that 'Modi is also under pressure to stop India's economic inequality from growing. India's economy grew at a rate of 8.2 percent in the last financial year. But voters stopped him due to lack of adequate jobs locally, inflation, low income and religious defection.
