Narendra Modi Appoints Ashwini Vaishnaw as India’s Minister for Information and Broadcasting


Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appointed Ashwini Vaishnaw as the country's new Minister of Information and Broadcasting.

Last week, a coalition led by Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) returned to power in India for a third consecutive term, albeit with a vastly reduced majority.
