Senior BJP leader and Lok Sabha MP Smriti Irani has taken oath as a Cabinet minister at the swearing-in ceremony of the new government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Rashtrapati Bhavan today (30 May).
Irani had previously served short, separate stints as the minister of human resource development and as the minister of information and broadcasting in the previous NDA government.

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.
