Two MPs from the NDA ally, Andhra Pradesh’s TDP will take oath on Sunday evening as union ministers, along with Narendra Modi, who will be sworn in as prime minister for the third time.

Srikakulam MP, Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu, and Guntur MP, Dr. Pemmasani Chandrsekhar, are to take oath in Modi’s cabinet 2024. The BJP leadership has assured the TDP of inducting two more ministers during the union cabinet expansion in the coming days. Consequently, the TDP is slated to receive a total of four union cabinet berths. However, another ally, Jana Sena, will not be allocated any positions in the union cabinet this time.
