In a historical event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was sworn in for a third consecutive term on Sunday in a grand ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The ceremony was attended by 8,000 guests including foreign heads of state and other dignitaries, industrialists and film stars. However, a peculiar event from the ceremony grabbed the attention of netizens. An uninvited guest was caught on camera, the video of which has now gone viral. The video shows a mysterious, cat-like animal in the background when BJP MP Durga Das Uikey was greeting President Droupadi Murmu after completing the oath procedure. The Rastrapati Bhavan has not yet made a comment regarding this incident. Speculations are being made online that the animal was a leopard.
The video clip was widely shared on social media, along with wild theories about which animal was seen strolling casually at the presidential palace. “Is it edited or what? How come no one noticed this. Looks like a big cat” commented a user under the viral clip on X. Another user commented on the security of the palace saying, “If it’s a cat, it’s fine. If it’s a leopard, then what are guards doing? This breach, that too in Rashtrapati bhawan?”
President Murmu administered the oath of office and secrecy to a 72-member Council of Ministers, including 30 cabinet ministers, 36 Ministers of State (MoS) and five MoS with independent charge.
PM Modi posted on X that he looked forward to serving 140 crore Indians and working with the Council of Ministers to take India to new heights of progress. PM Modi took charge on Monday morning and signed his first file for the welfare of the farmers.
