Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
Mohan Yadav, the newly-elected chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, expanded his cabinet on Monday by swearing in 28 ministers. Among them, 18 leaders took oath as cabinet ministers, six as Ministers of State (Independent Charge) and four as Ministers of State. The new Madhya Pradesh cabinet, headed by CM Mohan Yadav, has two deputy chief ministers, Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections in 2023 by winning 163 of the 230 seats. On December 13, Mohan Yadav took oath as chief minister with Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda, who took the oath as deputy CMs.
Former Union Minister Prahlad Patel and BJP National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya were among the 28 MLAs who took the oath. There are five women, and as many as 12 members belonging to the OBC category in the new cabinet.
The Madhya Pradesh cabinet is a mix of old and new ministers. Nirmala Bhuria was the junior Health Minister, and Narayan Kushwaha was the junior Home Minister. Tribal leader Sampatiya Uikey is also among the cabinet ministers of Madhya Pradesh.
Furthermore, members of the new cabinet have previously held positions under Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Pradhuman Singh Tomar was earlier the Energy Minister, Tulsi Ram Silawat was the former junior Water Resources Minister, and Govind Singh Rajput was the ex-Revenue and Transport Minister. They were also among the 22 MLAs who supported former Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia when he quit Congress in 2020, prompting the fall of Kamal Nath's government in Madhya Pradesh.
