Cabinet reshuffle: Full list of Modi Govt Ministers, and their portfolios

Jul 8, 2021 India Shipping News

NEW DELHI : Among the most important changes in Wednesday’s Cabinet reshuffle – the first since the Narendra Modi-led government assumed office for a second time in May 2019 – Mansukh Mandaviya, earlier the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Shipping and MoS for Chemicals & Fertilisers, was elevated to the Cabinet rank and given charge of the health ministry. He has succeeded Dr Harsh Vardhan, and his elevation assumes significance in view of the country’s continuing fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jyotiraditya Scindia, who switched over to the Bharatiya Janata Party from the Congress early last year, was inducted to the Council of ministers and given charge of the crucial civil aviation ministry.

Earlier in the day, President Ram Nath Kovid administered oath of office and secrecy to 43 ministers – 36 new entrants to the council and seven who were being elevated to the Cabinet rank.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Council of Ministers now has 78 members. Here’s a full list of ministers in the expanded Cabinet, along with their respective portfolios:–

1. Narendra Modi: Prime Minister
