At the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the oath of office for the third time in a row. He was joined by his new Cabinet and council of ministers. The oath was given to PM Modi by a local named Droupadi Murmu. Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister to be chosen for a third term in a row. Now he is the second. 71 ministers of the new coalition government took the oath with him. Thirty of them are Cabinet Ministers, five are Ministers of State, and the rest are Ministers of the Cabinet. The accounts will be made public later.
Right after Modi took the oath, top BJP officials Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and Nitin Gadkari—who were Modi’s defense, home, and transport ministers in his last government—did the same.
There are 30 Cabinet members, 5 members of State with Independent Charge, and 36 Ministers of State in the new government.
Narendra Modi, JP Nadda, Nitin Gadkari, Rajnath Singh, Piyush Goyal, and Jyotiraditya Scindia are some of the MPs who took the oath to serve on the Council of Ministers. Anupriya Patel (Apna Dal (Soneylal)), Rammohan Naidu (TDP), Chirag Paswan (LJP), Ram Nath Thakur JD(U), Jitan Ram Manji (HAM-S), Jayant Chaudhary (RLD), and Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani (TDP) are some of the other people who were appointed. As a Union Minister of State, Pratap Rao Jadhav of the Shiv Sena was also brought into the new government.
When Chirag Paswan joined the Narendra Modi government today, it made it official that he is the “real” political heir of his father, Ram Vilas Paswan. He is the leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas). This is an amazing return for Chirag Paswan in Bihar’s troubled political scene.
The new council of ministers in the 18th Lok Sabha is made up of seven women, two of whom are in the Cabinet. The last council of ministers, which was disbanded on June 5, had 10 women ministers. Annapurna Devi is the only one who went from being a Minister of State to a Cabinet Minister. Also, L. Murugan is the only one from the last council of ministers who got a seat again even though they lost the Lok Sabha election.
