BUILDING A STRONGER NATION: GET THE KNOW THE CABINET MINISTERS & THEIR PORTFOLIOS IN MODI 3.0 GOVERNMENT
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was sworn in for his third term on June 9, 2024, following a decisive victory for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the recent Lok Sabha elections. This victory marked a significant milestone in Indian political history, with Modi becoming the first non-Congress Prime Minister to serve three consecutive terms. The oath-taking ceremony was a grand event, attended by notable international leaders including the Prime Ministers of Bangladesh and Nepal, the President of Sri Lanka, and the King of Bhutan.
The BJP secured 240 seats in the Lok Sabha, which, although short of a majority, was bolstered by support from its allies to surpass the 272-seat threshold needed for a majority. Key leaders from the NDA, including N Chandrababu Naidu of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Nitish Kumar of the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)), and Eknath Shinde of the Shiv Sena, were present at the ceremony, highlighting the coalition’s strength and unity.
As Modi embarks on his third term, his cabinet is a blend of experienced leaders and new faces, reflecting a balance aimed at addressing the diverse needs of India’s regions and sectors. Here is a detailed overview of the new cabinet ministers in Modi’s 3.0 government:
