Narendra Modi was on Thursday sworn in as country's Prime Minister for a second term, heading the National Democratic Alliance government in the presence of a large gathering of national and international dignitaries.

Among the key faces who took oath as Union Ministers are Rajnath Singh, Smriti Irani, Nirmala Sitharaman, Nitin Gadkari and others.

Top opposition leaders including former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Rahul Gandhi and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, corporate honchos, film stars, chief ministers and a galaxy of leaders from BIMSTEC countries were among the nearly 8,000 guests at the ceremony.
