Following the victory of the National Democratic Alliance in the 2024 general election, Prime Minister Modi and the council of ministers tendered their resignation to the President of India on 5 June 2024. However, they remained in office on caretaker basis until a new cabinet assumed office. On 9 June 2024, the new Cabinet of Third Modi ministry was sworn in with Modi again as Prime Minister.

History

The Second Modi ministry came into existence following the 2019 general election to the 17th Lok Sabha in which the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance emerged victorious winning 353 of the 543 seats of the Lok Sabha. On 31 May 2019, Narendra Modi was sworn-in as the Prime Minister for the second time by President Ram Nath Kovind along with his council of ministers. The council of ministers which was sworn-in into office on 31 May 2019 consisted of 24 ministers with cabinet rank, 9 ministers of state with independent charge, and 24 ministers of state.

On August 8, 2023, Gaurav Gogoi moved a no-confidence motion against the second Modi ministry in the Lok Sabha. [2] [3] The government defeated the motion. [4]

Initiatives

According to Shashi Tharoor, some noteworthy achievements are the rapid construction of infrastructure, including new ports, airports and highways, relying on private contractors; modernisation of the rail network of India; strengthening the social safety net for millions of poor Indians; providing toilets, cooking gas cylinders; cash transfers to farmers and access to electricity and drinking water in rural India; progress in technology diffusion; cheap data plans for android phones, connecting nearly a billion Indians to the Internet; enabling private companies to create commons online; stimulating growth in the startup culture, mainly in the tech domain, and several unicorns; digital money transfer via Unified Payments Interface (direct money transfers between bank accounts); reducing middlemen by paying social benefits directly to the accounts of beneficiaries and effective Indian diplomacy, all with high approval ratings. [21]

Notes

  1. In the 2019 general election, no opposition party obtained the minimum (54) amount of seats to become the official opposition, and thus there was no opposition leader. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury is the leader of the Indian National Congress party in the Parliament, which has the largest number (50) of seats in the opposition.
  2. In the 2019 Indian general election, no opposition party secured at least 10% of the total seats (55 out of 545) in the Lok Sabha to be eligible for the post of official Leader of the Opposition. As a result, the position has remained vacant. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury served as the leader of the Indian National Congress in the Lok Sabha, which was the largest opposition party with 52 seats.
