Narendra Modi sworn in as Indian Prime Minister for rare third term, leading a coalition after failing to secure a supermajority.
Despite winning the largest number of seats, Modi's BJP fell short of the 272-seat majority, ending up with 240 seats and needing allies for a total of 293.
Modi now depends on support from key allies such as N. Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar, boosting their influence in the coalition government.
Voter turnout lowered due to perception of Modi favoring big business over addressing the struggles of ordinary Indians with low wages, high unemployment, and rising prices.
