Narendra Modi has been sworn in as India’s prime minister for a third term in a grand ceremony at the presidential palace in Delhi.<\/p>\n

The leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party took his oath, saying he would “do right to all manner of people without affection or ill-will”.<\/p>\n

Mr Modi’s BJP-led National Democratic Alliance won the general election with 293 seats, a much lower margin than predicted by exit polls.<\/p>\n

The election saw a\u00a0resurgence of India’s opposition<\/a>, which won 234 seats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thousands of guests have been attending his inauguration at Delhi’s presidential palace. Among them are the heads of neighbouring Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives – but not Pakistan or China.<\/p>\n

Tight security has been in place in Delhi, which was declared a no-fly zone, with more than 2,500 police officers deployed around the venue.<\/p>\n

Speaking as he was sworn in by President Draupadi Murmu, Mr Modi said he would uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India and govern with “true faith and allegiance to the constitution”.<\/p>\n

He said: “I will do right to all manner of people in accordance with the constitution and the law without fear or favour.”<\/p>\n

A council of ministers of Mr Modi’s new cabinet were also sworn in during the ceremony.<\/p>\n
