Modi and his ministers took oath in a grand ceremony

On May 23, BJP under PM Modi scripted history, by winning 303 seats in the Parliament. This is the first time that a non-Congress government returned to power with a bigger mandate. Quite naturally, the event was going to be as grand as the win. South superstar Rajinikanth, BJP veteran LK Advani, and Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi attended the event.
