    Digital Desk: Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi commenced his day's swearing-in ceremony by paying homage to two significant figures in India's history. His first stop was Rajghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, where he honored the Father of the Nation. This solemn tribute set the tone for the day as Modi prepares to embark on his third consecutive term as prime minister.




    Following his visit to Rajghat, Modi proceeded to pay his respects at the memorial of stalwart BJP leader and former prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, known as 'Sadaiv Atal'. Vajpayee, the first-ever BJP prime minister, played a pivotal role in shaping the party's prominence in national politics alongside Lal Krishna Advani.



    Modi's visits to these monuments drew supporters, emphasizing the reverence and admiration for these iconic leaders. Additionally, he honored the sacrifices of Indian soldiers at the National War Memorial, symbolizing his commitment to the nation's defense and security.



    Later in the evening, President Droupadi Murmu will administer the oath of office to PM Modi and his Council of Ministers at Rashtrapati Bhawan. The ceremony is expected to witness representation from several coalition partners, including the TDP, JD(U), and Shiv Sena, reflecting the broad support for the incoming government.
