Telugu Desam Party MP Ram Mohan Naidu is the new Civil Aviation Minister, replacing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Jyotiraditya Scindia, who has been given charge of the Telecom Ministry.
Mr Naidu is from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister-designate N Chandrababu Naidu’s party, which played a key role in ensuring the BJP returns to power after the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Mr Naidu, who is also his party’s National General Secretary, contested the 2024 Lok Sabha election from the Srikakulam constituency, a seat he has now won three times in a row.
