The premiership of Narendra Modi began 26 May 2014 with his swearing-in as the prime minister of India at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. He succeeded Manmohan Singh of the Indian National Congress (INC).[1] Modi's first cabinet consisted of 45 ministers, 25 fewer than the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) 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 a second term 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]
Modi was sworn in for a third term as prime minister, heading a coalition government, on 9 June 2024.[6]
His premiership has, to a considerable extent, embodied a high command culture.[7] India has experienced significant democratic backsliding under his tenure.[a]
