PM Modi's Cabinet reshuffle: What new ministers say

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today reshuffled his cabinet and four MPs from Rajasthan and three MPs each from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat today secured berths in the Modi government.

This was done with an eye on the upcoming state polls and to give adequate representation from states where BJP is strong.

19 MPs joined the government in the second expansion and reshuffle by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in little over two years since he took over in May 2014 which saw a number of dalit and OBC leaders being given ministerial positions.  The MPs were sworn in as ministers by President Pranab Mukherjee at a ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhawan.
