Modi sworn in amid challenges for consensus building

Consensus building at home and abroad will be important for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, analysts say.

Modi took the oath of office on Sunday for a history-making third consecutive term at Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of India's president, in New Delhi, where 71 ministers also took oath.

"Honored to serve Bharat," Modi posted on X before he was sworn in. Bharat is a word dating back to ancient Hindu scriptures written in Sanskrit, and one of two official names for the country under its constitution.
