You've few hours to celebrate, PM Narendra Modi told New Ministers

You have a few hours to celebrate, then get down to work.

This was the message Prime Minister Narendra Modi had for the 19 new ministers who joined his government on Tuesday.

Soon after a meeting of the Union Cabinet, PM Modi interacted with the newly sworn-in ministers and asked them to work hard with honesty and dedication.

He said the ministers should dedicate themselves to the development of the country. PM Modi also said the projects initiated by the government should be visible at the grass-roots level and the last man in queue should get the benefit.

In the meeting that lasted a little over 30 minutes, the prime minister told the ministers that they were free to celebrate their entry into the Union Council of Ministers for a few hours. But after that they should get down to work.

PM Modi holds a meeting of the Council of Ministers every month and the work done by various ministries is reviewed.
