Shivraj Singh Chouhan Makes Debut in Union Cabinet, Receives Loudest Cheers for Oath

New Delhi: In a significant political development, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, made his debut in the Union Cabinet on Wednesday. He was sworn in as the Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs by President Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Chouhan’s oath-taking ceremony was marked by the loudest cheers and applause among all the newly inducted ministers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and other senior BJP leaders were present at the event.

The appointment of Chouhan, a senior BJP leader and a three-time Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, is seen as a strategic move by the ruling party ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in the state. Chouhan is known for his pro-farmer policies and strong leadership, which has earned him a significant support base in the region.

In his new role, Chouhan is expected to focus on implementing the government’s ambitious urban development projects, including the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), Smart Cities Mission, and Swachh Bharat Mission. He is also likely to play a crucial role in the BJP’s electoral campaign in Madhya Pradesh, where the party faces a tough challenge from the Congress.

Chouhan’s induction into the Union Cabinet is a testament to his political stature and the BJP’s continued confidence in his leadership abilities. It is expected to further strengthen the party’s position in Madhya Pradesh and contribute to its electoral success in the upcoming polls.
