TDP Leaders Set to Join Modi 3.0 Cabinet

Telugu Desam Party's Ram Mohan Naidu will be sworn in as a Cabinet minister and Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani as a minister of state in the Modi 3.0 government. Other party allies are also being considered for ministerial roles, as Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi finalizes his Cabinet lineup.

In a notable political development, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Ram Mohan Naidu is poised to join the Modi 3.0 government as a Cabinet minister, confirmed a senior party source. Additionally, TDP's Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani will be sworn in as a minister of state.

The TDP's industrialist leader Jayadev Galla has already extended congratulatory messages to the two leaders. Furthermore, other allies, including Ram Nath Thakur and Lalan Singh of JD(U), Chirag Paswan of LJP (R), Jitan Ram Manjhi of HAM(S), and Jayant Chaudhary of RLD, are rumored to be contenders for ministerial positions.

Aide to Jitan Ram Manjhi indicated his expected induction into the government. Sources disclosed that while BJP is likely to retain key portfolios such as home, defence, finance, and external affairs, its prominent leaders—Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Piyush Goyal, and Jyotiraditya Scindia—are considered safe bets for Cabinet roles.

Despite the swirl of anticipations, there has been no official word from BJP regarding their ministerial candidates. Meanwhile, former chief ministers like Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Basavaraj Bommai, and Sarbananda Sonowal are also viewed as strong prospects, especially as BJP seeks to regain footing following unexpected losses in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi is slated to meet his ministerial choices later today ahead of the oath-taking ceremony in the evening.
