Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the oath of office for a third term, marking a historic moment in Indian politics. The oath-taking ceremony was held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, with President Ram Nath Kovind administering the oath. Along with Modi, several other prominent figures were sworn in as cabinet ministers, including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Among the newly appointed ministers is Ajay Tamta, a three-time MP from Almora, Uttarakhand. Tamta, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is likely to be given a cabinet berth in the Modi government. He has previously served as a Minister of State in the Ministry of Textiles and is known for his work in promoting India's textile industry, particularly in the development of traditional handlooms and handicrafts.
Tamta began his political career as a member of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly, where he served two terms. During that time, he held the position of Minister of State and later cabinet minister. In 2014, he was elected to the Lok Sabha, where he has been a vocal advocate for the welfare and development of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. He has also been a strong supporter of social justice and infrastructure development in his constituency.
The appointment of Ajay Tamta as a Union Minister is seen as a recognition of his experience and dedication to public service. He is expected to play a significant role in the Modi government's efforts to further develop India and improve the lives of its citizens.
