Smriti Irani gets additional charge of Information & Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry

Smriti Irani, Union Minister of Textiles, has been given additional charge of the Information & Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry.

Irani was given this responsibility because Venkaiah Naidu resigned from the post after he was named the BJP’s Vice-Presidential candidate.

The Urban Development Ministry, which was also handled by Naidu, has been given to Narendra Singh Tomar as an additional charge. Tomar is already handling the Rural Development Ministry.

The Prime Minister’s Office informed about the decision in a tweet. “The additional charge of the Ministry of I&B has been given to Smriti Irani,” Narendra Modi tweeted.

“M. Venkaiah Naidu has resigned from his ministerial responsibilities. Additional charge of Moud_India (Ministry of Urban Development) has been given to Tomar,” PM Modi tweeted.
