Narendra Modi's cabinet recently convened for the first time following his reappointment as Prime Minister. During this meeting, portfolios were assigned to members. Notably, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and newly elected MP, was appointed as the Agriculture Minister. This designation marks a significant milestone in Shivraj Singh Chauhan's political career.
Having secured victory from the Vidisha constituency in Madhya Pradesh by a substantial margin of over 8 lakh votes, Shivraj Singh Chouhan's transition to the role of Agriculture Minister underscores his growing influence on the national stage. Prior to this, he served as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh until the BJP nominated him to contest the Lok Sabha elections from the Vidisha constituency, where he emerged victorious by a margin of 8 lakh 17 thousand votes.
In the latest cabinet lineup under Modi's leadership, key positions include Amit Shah as the Minister of Home Affairs, Rajnath Singh as the Minister of Defense, Nirmala Sitharaman as the Minister of Finance, S. Jaishankar overseeing External Affairs, and Nitin Gadkari heading the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
Additionally, J. P. Nadda, the BJP President, has been appointed as the Minister of Health. Furthermore, the allocation of portfolios extends to state ministers, with Jitin Prasad taking charge of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Sripad Yeso Naik overseeing the Ministry of Power, Pankaj Chaudhary managing the Ministry of Finance, Krishna Pal heading the Ministry of Cooperatives, Ramdas Athavale leading the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Ram Nath Thakur appointed to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Nityanand Rai entrusted with the Ministry of Home Affairs, and Anupriya Patel serving as the Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare.
