Narendra Modi has taken oath as Prime Minister for the third consecutive time on Saturday evening. He took oath with his new cabinet in a program organized at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Modi 3.0 is different from Modi 1.0 and Modi 2.0 in many ways. In this cabinet, not only the number of ministers is more than the other two tenures, but many MPs from allied parties have also been included in the cabinet. Like the first two cabinets, Madhya Pradesh dominates this Modi 3.0 cabinet. Whereas Chhattisgarh has been disappointed. Only one minister has been made from the state. Bilaspur MP Tokhan Sahu has been made a Minister of State in the Modi cabinet. Sahu has become an MP for the first time by winning the Lok Sabha elections.
5 faces from Madhya Pradesh have got a place in the Modi cabinet. These include 3 cabinet and 2 state ministers.

MP from Vidisha and former CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan has become a minister at the center for the first time. On the other hand, MP from Guna Jyotiraditya Scindia has become a member of the Modi cabinet for the second consecutive time.

Shivraj and Scindia belong to the OBC category.

He has been the Minister of Information and Broadcasting along with the Minister of Animal Husbandry, Dairy, and Fisheries in Modi 2.0. Murugan is originally from Tamil Nadu. He has also been the state president of Tamil Nadu. Murugan is also among the faces chosen by the BJP for expansion in the south. 47-year-old Murugan had also contested the Lok Sabha elections. But had to face defeat.

Only the MP got a chance from Chhattisgarh
BJP had made former Lormi MLA Tokhan Sahu its candidate from the Bilaspur Lok Sabha seat. Tokhan Sahu has registered a historic victory in this seat. In the election, Tokhan Sahu defeated Congress candidate Devendra Yadav by a margin of more than 1 lakh 64 thousand votes. He started his political career from the post of Panch in 1994 from Surajpura, a small village in Lormi. Tokhan Sahu is known as a very popular public representative in the area. Tokhan was elected Sarpanch from Panch, then District Member, and then MLA from Lormi Assembly seat in the year 2013.

At the same time, a few months ago, Tokhan Sahu has also been made the state president of Chhattisgarh BJP's Kisan Morcha. At the same time, leaders like Brijmohan Agarwal, who was elected MLA eight times and became MP by winning the highest number of votes in the state, Santosh Pandey, who was elected MP for the second time, and Vijay Baghel have been disappointed.
