A beaming Modi stood next to two BJP heavyweights, Rajnath Singh and Amit Shah, who were both confirmed to return as cabinet ministers. As he stepped up to the podium to make his pledge, loud cheers erupted from the vast crowds that gathered to watch the ceremony.
Modi’s third term is likely to take a different shape from his previous decade in office after his Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) faced an unexpectedly challenging election, says 'The Guardian', London.
The BJP won the most seats in the polls, which took place over almost two months with the results finally announced on Tuesday, but fell short of an absolute majority.
Modi's swearing in has ushered in a new era of coalition politics for India’s strongman.
The ceremony, which took place at the President’s residence on Sunday evening, marked Modi’s return to power, only the second leader in India’s history to win three consecutive terms.

Life for Modi plunged into a whirlpool of success and happiness. To many Indians, Modi was a harbinger of ‘acchey din’ (good days) and the US President Barack Obama laid down red carpet for Modi and had even picked up Gujarati to welcome India’s Prime Minister with the salutation – ‘Kem Chho’.
In 2015, the UN obliged Modi and June 21 was designated as the International Day of Yoga. Oriental India was in the international space and India acquired its lost space as a soft power.
Prime Minister Modi – dismissed as a Mofussil leader for his limitation with English oratory – travelled across the globe and shook hands with firm grips with all the key players like Vladimir Putin, President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In September 2016, Modi turned a 'hardliner BJP leader' and a true nationalist to order ‘surgical strikes’ giving a message that his government meant business when it came to dealing with terrorism.
The core voters were enthused even as opposition parties spent weeks spending the genuineness of the attack.
There came another opportune occasion in February 2019 when the country was already in poll mood. Yet again, Modi gave green signals – and this time Air Force led the aerial strikes on Balakot terror hubs.
The macho Hindutva nationalist image was latched upon by Indian voters and for the first time since 1971 – he is the first Indian Prime Minister to win two consecutive polls with absolute majority. Thus, there was a glimpse of yet another transition – Hindu Hriday Samrat trying to get into the show of Bharat Hriday Samrat.
It is not without good reason that Narendra Modi has changed the political dynamics of India.
