'Will build a strong, prosperous India': PM congratulates new ministers

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated his colleagues who took oath as ministers and wish them the very best for their ministerial tenure. 

In a Twitter post, the Prime Minister said, "We will continue working to fulfil aspirations of the people and build a strong and prosperous India."

The new Team Modi has a young feel to it with the Prime Minister opting to go with several new faces with an eye on grooming younger leaders and also the assembly elections due next year.

According to reports, the new council of ministers is likely the ‘youngest Cabinet’ in the history of Independent India.

The Prime Minister has called a meeting of the new cabinet on Thursday at 5 pm.
