Modi calls for consensus in Indian Parliament, urging unity and cooperation as the government begins its post-election session.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to an emboldened opposition for"consensus" Monday, as parliament opened following an election setback that forced him into a coalition government for the first time in a decade.
But now analysts expect the 73-year-old Modi to moderate his Hindu-nationalist agenda to assuage his coalition partners, focusing more on infrastructure, social welfare and economic reforms. Rahul Gandhi, 54, defied analyst expectations to help his Congress party nearly double its parliamentary numbers, its best result since Modi was swept to power a decade ago.
The post has been vacant for 10 years because two dismal election results for Congress -- once India's dominant party -- left it short of that threshold.Newly elected lawmakers will take their oaths over the first two days. Modi's decade as premier has seen him cultivate an image as an aggressive champion of the country's majority Hindu faith, worrying minorities including India's 200-million-plus Muslim community.
