Modi Cabinet 3.0: Seven women members, including Nirmala Sitharaman, Annapurna Devi and Anupriya Singh Patel, were sworn in as the ministers in the new Prime Minister Narendra Modi Cabinet at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday (June 9). The swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union Council of ministers was held in the grand forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan which was attended by many heads of state, political veterans and debutants, business tycoons and a few film stars adding a dash of stardust to the event. PM Modi equalled the feat of the first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who won in the 1952, 1957 and 1962 general elections.
In the Modi 3.0 Cabinet, the women ministers include Nirmala Sitharaman, Apna Dal MP Anupriya Patel, and BJP MPs Shobha Karandlaje, Nimuben Bambhaniya, Raksha Khadse, Savitri Thakur, and Annapurna Devi. Sitharaman and Devi became the Cabinet ministers, while the other women took oaths as ministers of state.
