PM Modi to lay out third-term plans as parliament meets

Indian lawmakers begin taking their oaths as parliament opens after an election setback forced Prime Minister Narendra Modi into a coalition government. Expected in the first session, which will run until July 3, is a preview of Modi's plans for his third term and the likely formal appointment of Rahul Gandhi as leader of the opposition. Analysts expect the 73-year-old Modi to focus more on infrastructure, social welfare and economic reforms.
