Social:Second Modi ministry
Template:Infobox government cabinet The Second Ministry of Narendra Modi is the Council of Ministers headed by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi that was formed after the 2019 general election which was held in seven phases in 2019. The results of the election were announced on 23 May 2019 and this led to the formation of the 17th Lok Sabha. The swearing-in ceremony was arranged in the courtyards of Rashtrapati Bhavan at Raisina Hill. The heads of the states of BIMSTEC countries were invited as guests of honor for this ceremony.
On 7 July 2021, the government went through a ministry expansion with several big names dropped and new faces sworn in. Many current ministers were also given promotion for their good work.[1]
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]
