However, enthusiastic spectators especially the young among them who stood on their chairs to have a better view of the Prime Minister as he climbed the stage at the Parade Ground were somewhat disappointed in the end when Modi left without making a speech.
As the oath-taking ceremony was over, Modi congratulated the newly-sworn-in members of the BJP government and posed for a photograph with them.
With the new Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat in tow, Modi left the venue waving to the crowds.
This left the enthusiastic crowds, who were eager to listen to Modi, rather disappointed as the party had earlier announced that the Prime Minister and the BJP president will also address the gathering after the swearing-in ceremony.
"I stay on the outskirts of the city and came all the way from there just to listen to the prime minister. But he left without making a speech," said Saurav, a student of the Petroleum University.
