In 1996, his father, Kinjarapu Yerran Naidu, held the title of youngest cabinet minister in the Union.

Top 10 world news: Modi 3.0 cabinet portfolios assigned; US weighs unilateral deal with Hamas and more

The first meeting of Narendra Modi's third cabinet was held at the Indian Prime Minister's Lok Kalyan Marg home on Monday (June 9). The Cabinet resolved to help&nbsp;build 300 million more rural and urban houses to satisfy the housing needs of the growing number of eligible families.

Since 2015–16, the Indian government has been carrying out the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which aims to help eligible rural and urban people build homes with the most basic facilities. Over the course of the previous 10 years, 4.21 crore residences under PMAY have been constructed for eligible impoverished households.&nbsp;

Through convergence with other central and state government projects, all PMAY-built homes are equipped with additional essential utilities such as functional household tap connections, LPG and electricity connections, and household toilets.

In his first address to the officials of PMO, after assuming office of the Prime Minister for the third time, PM Modi said, "What new can be done in the team which gave me so much in 10 years, how we can do ever better, how we can do ever quicker, how we can do it on a better scale - if we go ahead together with all of these, I am confident that the 140 crore people of the country have put their stamp of approval on their efforts."

"These elections are not a stamp on the speeches of Modi, these elections are a stamp on the efforts of every government employee in 10 years. So, if someone is entitled to this victory, it is you. Every employee of the Government of India is truly entitled to this victory - who left no stone unturned to give themselves in for a vision...I want to go ahead with a new energy, a new courage. I was not born to stop," he added.

Chaudhary is the son of Ajit Singh, a well-known politician in western Uttar Pradesh, and the grandson of former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh.

Out of the 403 seats, the RLD ran for 33 and won 8 of them. Chaudhary did not fight the elections but played an important role in the campaign. Chaudhary joined the NDA after his grandfather, Chaudhary Charan Singh, the fifth Prime Minister of India, was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, the country's highest civilian distinction, in February of this year.

RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary joins PM Modi 3.0 council of ministers

Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan, clinched all five Lok Sabha seats on which his party fought in Bihar, as part of the NDA alliance. He was awarded with a cabinet birth at the oath taking ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (June 9).

According to reports, Chirag Paswan had been offered ministerial posts&nbsp;in the first and second NDA governments too, however, then the LJP decided that the post should be taken up by his father and party chief Ram Vilas Paswan.

Paswan won the Lok Sabha election&nbsp;from Bihar's Hajipur seat from which his father had clinched victory nine times.

The Lok Sabha Elections 2024 has become a milestone in the political journey of Chirag Paswan who started as a politically oblivious man and looked upon his stalwart father for guidance.

<h2>Beginning of a political journey</h2>

In 2020, a feud began in the family of Paswan soon after Ram Vilas Paswan's death. Both Chirag Paswan and his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras claimed the political legacy of the veteran leader.

The clashes came to an end&nbsp;with a&nbsp;split in the LJP as Chirag’s uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras walked out of the party and took four of the six LJP MPs with him and&nbsp;joined the Modi government.&nbsp;

Chirag during this period&nbsp;was in a&nbsp;difficult situation,&nbsp;as he was no more a part of the&nbsp;NDA alliance and&nbsp;had also lost the party symbol as it went to the Paras faction.&nbsp;

He also took the challenging decision of going alone in the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections,&nbsp;before the split which eventually impacted the numbers of JD (U) as the ruling party came down to 43 seats from 70 seats in 2015.

Even after the split and distance from the NDA, Chirag reiterated his loyalty to Narendra Modi.&nbsp;
