NARENDRA Modi has been sworn in for a rare third consecutive term as India’s prime minister, relying on his coalition partners after his party failed to win a parliamentary majority in a surprise outcome.
His Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party , which won by landslides in 2014 and 2019, failed to secure a majority to govern on its own in the latest national election. Final election results released on Wednesday showed the BJP won 240 seats, well below the 272 needed for a majority. An avowed Hindu nationalist, the prime minister is considered a champion of the country’s Hindu majority, who make up 80% of India’s 1.4 billion population.
His political opponents have questioned his government’s economic record, pointing to high unemployment and growing inequality despite strong growth.
