Narendrabhai Damodardas Modi, who made history last week with a stupendous victory in the general election, was Monday evening sworn in as India's 15th prime minister at an open-air ceremony attended by over 4,000 guests.
Narendra Modi, who was the challenger, has done what no one could do in the history of this country. Riding on his wave, the BJP has decimated the Congress-led UPA. Not only did he win both his seats, under his leadership, the BJP scripted history by emerging as the only single party to gain majority after 1984.
Message from the Prime Minister:
My dear fellow Indians and citizens of the world, Namaste!

Let us together dream of a strong, developed and inclusive India that actively engages with the global community to strengthen the cause of world peace and development.
"I envision this website as a very important medium of direct communication between us. I am a firm believer in the power of technology and social media to communicate with people across the world. I hope this platform creates opportunities to listen, learn and share one's views.
