Earlier in the day, the mystery over Amit Shah’s place in the new government got clear as the BJP president will be a minister in the new government.

Before the swearing-in ceremony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his new Council of Ministers at his residence. PM Modi and BJP president Amit Shah had held talks earlier today to reportedly finalise the list of Union ministers.

The event was attended by nearly 8,000 guests, including foreign dignitaries and chief ministers and governors, and watched by millions across the world via live telecast. The guests attending the swearing-in ceremony were treated to high tea at PM Modi’s residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. President Ram Nath Kovind will later host a private dinner for the leaders. The size of the gathering is seen as a reflection of the massive mandate received by Modi government in the Lok Sabha election.
