PM Modi Oath Ceremony: Modi government for the third time in a row, these names were included in the cabinet

After the victory of the NDA in the Lok Sabha elections, Narendra Modi took oath as the Prime Minister of India for the third time in a row on Sunday. Modi is the first non-Congress politician after the independence of the country who has become the Prime Minister for the third time in a row. Apart from the Prime Minister, 30 cabinet ministers, seven ministers of state (independent charge), and 34 ministers of state have taken oath in the cabinet. Social balance has also been taken care of in the cabinet.

27 ministers from the OBC community, ten from the Scheduled Caste, five from the Scheduled Tribe, and five from the minority community have been appointed. Nine new cabinet members have been appointed. Seven leaders from India's neighbouring Indian Ocean area attended the swearing-in ceremony. Many prominent figures from the country also attended the event.

President Draupadi Murmu administered the oath of office and secrecy to Modi during a magnificent event at Rashtrapati Bhavan. He took an oath in the name of God. With this, he tied the record of the country's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who became Prime Minister three times in succession.

Along with Modi, senior BJP leaders Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, Shivraj Chauhan, Nirmala Sitharaman, Piyush Goyal and S Jaishankar took oath as cabinet ministers, which is a sign of the Prime Minister's emphasis on continuity and experience. All these leaders were also in senior positions in the second term of the Modi government. Party President JP Nadda returned to the cabinet after five years. Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and former Haryana CM Manohar Lal are new faces in the Modi cabinet.

Manohar Lal, who became a Union Minister from RSS Pracharak, has started a new innings. BJP leaders Piyush Goyal, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Dharmendra Pradhan, and Bhupendra Yadav have been retained in the cabinet. Former Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal, Ashwini Vaishnav, Virendra Kumar, Prahlad Joshi, Giriraj Singh, and Jual Oram were among those who took oath as ministers. Mansukh Mandaviya has received the award for working courageously during the Corona epidemic. He has been made a cabinet minister again. Two-time Karnataka Chief Minister Kumaraswamy has also got a place in the cabinet.

Similarly, Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has also been made a cabinet minister. NDA constituent RLD chief and Rajya Sabha member Jayant Chaudhary took the oath of office and secrecy as Minister of State (Independent Charge). Jayant Chaudhary is the grandson of former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh. Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan has strengthened his position as the 'real' political successor of father Ram Vilas Paswan. Chirag was included in the Narendra Modi government on Sunday, surprising everyone.

Chirag, who calls himself the 'Hanuman' of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is now going to start his new innings as a minister at the Center. Former diplomat Hardeep Singh Puri, who showed his diplomatic acumen in pushing forward the construction of the new Parliament and pulling India out of two oil crises, has been rewarded for a scam-free tenure in his ministries. Puri, who was the Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs and Petroleum and Natural Gas in the previous government, has also been given a place in the cabinet.
