Nice collection. Please check the year of the 17th picture. Should it not be 2004?
Lakshminarasimhan,
Thanks for pointing out the mistake.
I have made the necessary correction.
-Narendra
After Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji's second time swearing in he also
was sworn in 1999 for the full term.
He was 3 time prime minister, as Nehruji.
Hello Mukhesh,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
You are right - Vajapayee was sworn in as PM three times.
But, Nehru was sworn in 4 times.
