Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi fought back tears in an emotional first address to party colleagues in Parliament Tuesday, giving a message of hope and promising to live up to the expectations of the country's 1.2 billion people, especially the poor.

His 30-minute speech also saw Modi display a rare emotional side that moved almost everyone present in the Central Hall.

Modi, who swept the BJP to power, touched his forehead to steps of the pink sandstone building in reverence before entering the Central Hall for a meeting of the BJP's parliamentary party. He was formally elected its leader, moving him a step closer to the country's top job.

BJP patriarch LK Advani proposed Modi's name, calling him a "popular and famous" leader. Party veteran Murli Manohar Joshi seconded the proposal.
