Ranchi, June 9: Annapurna Devi, MP from Jharkhand’s Koderma, and Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth have been appointed as Union Ministers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet. President Draupadi Murmu administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new ministers on Sunday, June 9.

Annapurna Devi, who has been elected to the Lok Sabha for the second consecutive time, continues to hold a significant position in the government. Previously, she served as the Minister of State for the Human Resources Department following her first election victory in 2019. She took the oath as Cabinet Minister after Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

In the Koderma constituency, Annapurna Devi secured her position in Parliament by defeating CPI (ML) candidate Vinod Singh.

Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth has also been elevated to the position of Union Minister. Seth won the Ranchi seat by a substantial margin of approximately 120,000 votes, defeating Congress candidate Yashaswini Sahay. BJP leader Sanjeev Vijayvargiya hailed Seth’s appointment as a historic moment for Ranchi, attributing the victory to the dedicated efforts of the party workers during the Lok Sabha elections.

Sanjay Seth’s ministerial role is seen as recognition of his consistent efforts and a boost for the Ranchi constituency in Prime Minister Modi’s third term.
