Gautam Adani And Family Witness PM Modi's Third Term Swearing-In Ceremony

Billionaire Gautam Adani, accompanied by his wife and brother, attended the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third consecutive term at the Rashtrapati Bhavan forecourt.

The event, which drew a crowd of 8,000 attendees, saw the convergence of political veterans, newcomers, business leaders, and celebrities.

Priti Adani, expressing her congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media platform X, praised his leadership and vision for India's progress over the past decade. She expressed confidence in Modi's "Developed India" campaign advancing swiftly in the coming years.

President Droupadi Murmu administered the oath of office, with keen speculation surrounding the potential ministerial appointments, particularly from NDA allies like TDP and JD-U. Among the allies, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy, HAM (Secular) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi, JD(U) leader Lalan Singh, and TDP's K Ram Mohan Naidu were sworn in as ministers. The guest list, reminiscent of a US Inauguration Day, attracted considerable attention, albeit with fewer opposition leaders present. Notable personalities from India's neighbouring countries, religious leaders, and Bollywood stars added to the diverse assembly. Special guests included leaders from India's neighbouring countries and the Indian Ocean region, such as Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu, Bangladesh Premier Sheikh Hasina, Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, Bhutanese PM Tshering Tobgay, and Seychelles Vice-President Ahmed Afif.
