Indian PM Modi takes oath before parliament's first meeting since election

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was sworn in as a member of the 18th Lok Sabha(Lower House) on Monday, marking his third consecutive term in office.

This first session, which runs until July 3, is expected to provide a preview of Modi's plans for his new term. Anticipation is high for the formal appointment of Rahul Gandhi as leader of the opposition, a position that has been vacant since 2014. Modi's return to power for a third consecutive term earlier this month sets the stage for significant political developments in India.
