Historic Swearing-In of PM Modi for Third Term

the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Narendra Modi was sworn in for a third consecutive term

consecutive terms.

Composition of the New
Council of Ministers
The new
Indian government for 2024 will comprise 71 ministers, including 30
cabinet ministers, 36 ministers of state, and 5 ministers of
state with independent charge. Notably, this marks the first time since PM
Nehru that a Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has been elected for a third
straight term.
BJP’s Electoral
Performance
The
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party in the 18th
Lok Sabha, securing 240 seats. While this number represents a decrease from
their previous tallies of 303 seats in 2019 and 282 seats in 2014, it was
sufficient for the party to form the government at the center. The Indian
National Congress, the principal opposition party, managed to secure 99 seats.
Council of Ministers
Composition Limit
According to
the Constitution of India, the total strength of the council of ministers
cannot exceed 15% of the total number of Lok Sabha MPs. With the current
Lok Sabha having 543 members, the council of ministers cannot have more
than 81 members. In the previous Modi government, the council
comprised the Prime Minister and 78 ministers, including 29
Cabinet Ministers, 3 Ministers of State (Independent Charge), and 47
Ministers of State.
