India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken office for a third consecutive term.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is garlanded by senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders Rajnath Singh, left, party President JP Nadda, right, and Amit Shah, at the party headquarters in New Delhi, India, Tuesday, June 4, 2024. to govern on its own this time, though his National Democratic Alliance coalition with the BJP and other parties won enough seats for a slim parliamentary majority.
Conspicuous piety has long been a centerpiece of Modi's brand, but he's also begun suggesting that he was chosen by God. The tea seller's son got his first big political break in 2001, becoming the state's chief minister. A few months in, anti-Muslim riots ripped through the region, killing at least 1,000 people. There were suspicions that Modi quietly supported the riots, but he has, citing concerns that he did not act to stop the communal violence. An investigation approved by the Indian Supreme Court later absolved Modi, but the stain of the dark moment has lingered.
