Modi was sworn in as premier on Sunday for a record-equalling third term but this time his Bharatiya Janata Party is not in a strong position, which will test his ability to ensure policy certainty in the world’s most populous nation.
In response to PM Shehbaz’s post, Modi thanked the 72-year-old saying: “Thankyou [Shehbaz Sharif] for your good wishes.”
