New Delhi: The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu took oath as Minister at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday, making him the youngest-ever Minister in Modi Cabinet 3.0.
The TDP MP from Andhra’s Srikakulam Lok Sabha constituency also served as the national general secretary of the TDP and was the party’s floor leader in the outgoing Lok Sabha. He was honoured with the Sansad Ratna Award in 2020 for his extraordinary performance as an MP.
His party has not put forth any demands so far with its National Democratic Alliance ally BJP as he confirmed the party’s poll promise to preserve Muslim quota reservation in Andhra Pradesh, he said on Sunday, according to ANI.
“After a long time, TDP will have a Union Minister. We are very happy. We have the undivided attention of the Central government,” he was quoted as saying. He further highlighted the party’s vision to bring development to Andhra Pradesh and ensure the welfare of Telugu people across Andhra and Telangana.
He said his party’s vision has always been to develop Andhra and work for the Telugu people wherever they are, in Andhra or Telangana. Having been chosen with a good mandate, they hope to bring development to Andhra with the help of Narendra Modi. The young leader also added that his party has made no demand so far. “Our relations are so strong that we will take a decision only after holding proper discussions. There will be no change in our stand on the reservation,” he added, ANI reported.
