Modi 3.0 takes oath: Among the 30 cabinet ministers who were sworn in along with PM Modi at the mega event held at Rashtrapati Bhavan on June 8, included Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, JP Nadda, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, to name a few. 11 ministers are from NDA allies.
Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister for record third straight term at the mega ceremony held in the presence of large gathering of national and international dignitaries at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on June 9. The oath of office and secrecy was administered by President Droupadi Murmu. Modi becomes the only Prime Minister after Congress stalwart Jawaharlal Nehru to win three consecutive terms as the prime minister.
Overall 71 ministers took oath alongside the Prime Minister on June 8. This included 30 cabinet ministers including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, JP Nadda, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Nirmala Sitharaman, S Jaishankar to name a few.
Apart from 30 cabinet ministers, 5 Ministers of State with Independent Charge and 36 Ministers of State also took oath on Sunday evening.
As many as 27 ministers come from Other Backward Classes, 10 from Scheduled Castes, 5 from Scheduled Tribes and 5 from minorities. The new council of ministers include 43 ministers who have served three or more terms in the Parliament. At least 39 have been ministers in the Government of India before.
The difference between the new PM Modi-led government than his second term is that the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) numbers in Lok Sabha have dropped. In 2029, the BJP won 303 Lok Sabha seats while in 2024 it finished with 240 seats, 32 short of the majority mark of 272 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha. This meant that the BJP needed to accommodate its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the council of ministers too.
Overall, the NDA finished with over 290 seats while the opposition INDIA alliance bagged 23o seats. The Lok Sabha Elections 2024 were held in seven phases from April 19 until June 1. The results were announced on June 4.
