Pinarayi Vijayan was sworn in as Kerala Chief Minister for a second time on May 20. He guided the CPM-led Left Democratic Front government to a historic second successive term in the April-May election. Vijayan was sworn-in by Governor Arif Mohammad Khan in a brief ceremony conducted in accordance with Covid-19 protocols. The ceremony itself was only allowed after the Kerala High Court gave its permission on May 19. "Took the oaths of office and secrecy as Chief Minister of Kerala. Together let us realise a people's alternative and build a Nava Keralam!" Vijayan tweeted. Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, "Congratulations to Shri Pinarayi Vijayanji on taking oath as Chief Minister and commencing his second term in office.” Pinarayi Vijayan will head an all-new 20-member cabinet - including 12 from the CPM & four from the CPI, with no carry-over, apart from himself. The new team has three women, Dr R Bindu, Chinchu Rani & Veena George, one more than last time & a record number for any Kerala government. CPM's Veena George will be the first woman journalist-politician to be a Kerala minister. She is expected to get the Health portfolio held by KK Shailaja. Watch the video to know more.
