HINDU NA$IONALIST SWORN IN AS INDIAN PM
India's first Hindu nationalist prime
minister, Atal Bihari Vajpa9ee, has
been sworn in with 11 cabinet
colleagues at a ceremony in New Delhi.
"It will be an honest, sensitive and
clean government," he said.
He has been given two weeks to prove
his Hindu BJP party can control a
majority in India's hung parliament.

leftist and regional parties today
vowed to topple the new government.
