On Sunday, June 9, at 7:15 pm, Narendra Modi will be sworn in as the Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive time at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The ceremony, administered by President Droupadi Murmu, will be broadcasted live across the country on TV news channels and online platforms.
The official announcement states, "The President will administer the oath of office and secrecy to the Prime Minister and other members of the Union Council of Ministers at 7:15 pm on June 9, 2024, at Rashtrapati Bhavan." This event will be live-streamed on the YouTube channel and social media accounts of the President of India, as well as on public service broadcaster Doordarshan and various national TV channels.
President Murmu appointed Modi as the prime minister designate on Friday after BJP chief JP Nadda submitted a letter confirming Modi’s election as the leader of the BJP Parliamentary Party. Along with Modi, the new council of ministers under the NDA government will also take the oath on Sunday evening.
