Modi oath: TDP leader reveals names of 2 ministers; BJP calls MPs to PM’s house
Several newly elected Members of Parliament have been called for a meeting at Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi’s house on Sunday morning. These MPs will likely take oath of office at the Rashtrapati Bhavan today, along with the Prime Minister-elect.
According to reports, the meeting will begin at 11.30 am.
Meanwhile, TDP leader Jayadev Galla revealed the names of two MPs who will take oath with Modi.
Galla wrote on X that MP Ram Mohan Naidu will take oath as a Cabinet minister. Another MP, Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani will become minister of state in the new council of ministers.
“Congratulations to my young friend @RamMNK on being confirmed as a cabinet minister in the new #NDA Government! Your sincerity and humble nature will surely be an asset to the development of the country. Wishing you all the best in your new role,” Galla wrote on X.
“Congratulations to Dr. @PemmasaniOnX on being confirmed as a Minister of State. Such an honour to serve the nation at the central level during your very first political stint. The people of Guntur and the entire AP are proud of you. All the best for your new role. May you bring positive changes and make a meaningful impact,” he added.
There has not been official statement over the nomination of these MPs as ministers.
While Pemmasani is a doctor-turned-politician from Guntur, the other leader is an engineer.
PM Modi will take oath as the Prime Minister of India today.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh took a swipe at Narendra Modi, saying he was the leader of Narendra Destructive Alliance (NDA).
