Modi Cabinet 3.0: The third National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was ceremoniously sworn in on Sunday evening, marked by an event of significant pomp and grandeur at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. After the oath-taking ceremony, people are awaiting the highly-anticipated allocations of different portfolios.
During the ceremony, 72 ministers took their oaths of office, including 34 ministers who were part of the outgoing council. At least 30 ministers will hold cabinet-rank positions, reflecting the inclusive nature of the coalition with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)), Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS), and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM).
PM Modi’s team has 30 Cabinet ministers, five Ministers of State with Independent charge and 36 Ministers of State. While some ministers like Rajnath Singh, S Jaishankar, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Nitin Gadkari and others have retained their portfolios, there have been some new entries in the Cabinet like Ravneet Singh Bittu, CR Paatil and more.
