Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and Lok Sabha MPs Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari have taken oath as Cabinet ministers at the swearing-in ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan today (30 May).
Singh had served as Home Minister in the previous NDA government, while Gadkari was the minister of Road Transport & Highways, as well as the minister of Shipping, Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation.
It is as of yet not clear whether they will continue with their previous portfolios or whether new ministries will be assigned to them. Singh was the second person to take oath after the prime minister himself.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
