Ram Mohan Naidu Takes Over Aviation Ministry From Jyotiraditya Scindia
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was sworn in on Sunday evening for a record third time with a cabinet of 71 ministers, including 30 of cabinet rank.
Telugu Desam Party MP Ram Mohan Naidu is the new Civil Aviation Minister, replacing the Bharatiya Janata Party's Jyotiraditya Scindia, who has been given charge of the Telecom Ministry.
Mr Naidu is from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister-designate N Chandrababu Naidu's party, which played a key role in ensuring the BJP returns to power after the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Mr Naidu, who is also his party's National General Secretary, contested the 2024 Lok Sabha election from the Srikakulam constituency, a seat he has now won three times in a row.
He beat the YSR Congress Party's Perada Tilak by nearly three lakh votes.
Mr Naidu's father, Kinjarapu Yerran Naidu, was the MLA from Andhra Pradesh's Tekkali and later the MP from Srikakulam; he won the seat four times between 1996 and 2004.
