The premiership of Narendra Modi began 26 May 2014 with his swearing-in as the Prime Minister of India at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. He became the 14th Prime Minister of India,[1] succeeding Manmohan Singh of the Indian National Congress. Modi's first cabinet consisted of 45 ministers, 25 fewer than the previous United Progressive Alliance government.[2] A total of 21 ministers were added to the council of ministers on 9 November 2014.
In 2019, he was elected as the prime minister of India for the second time and sworn in at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on 30 May 2019.[3] His second cabinet consisted of 54 ministers[4] and initially had 51 ministers, which was expanded to 77 ministers during a reshuffle on 7 July 2021.[5] His premiership has, to a considerable extent, practiced high command culture.[6]
Modi was sworn in for a third time as prime minister, heading a coalition government, on June 9, 2024.[7]
Some media sources cite India experiencing democratic backsliding under Modi's premiership,[8] however this claim is denied by other sources.[9]
