We are so different and yet so similar and united,” he said in his acceptance speech after taking oath of office in the Central Hall of Parliament.
The 71-year-old, who took over the highest Constitutional post in the country from Pranab Mukherjee, is the first BJP leader and the second Dalit in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
