Dr K Chiranjeevi sworn in as Tourism Minister

Dr K Chiranjeevi was yesterday sworn in as the Minister of State with Independent Charge (I/C) for Tourism, Government of India. He replaces Subodh Kant Sahai, who recently tendered his resignation as Minister for Tourism, Government of India. Dr Chiranjeevi said that he will “shoulder the responsibility” to the best of his ability to justify the confidence reposed on him by the Prime Minister and the ruling party. The Minister was speaking to the media soon after the swearing-in ceremony at the Rashtrapathi Bhavan here.

Addressing a crowded press conference in Andhra Pradesh Bhavan in Delhi, Chiranjeevi said that India is a country of “incredible heritage” and “rich culture” and has the potential to attract far more foreign tourists. A cine-star-turned politician, Dr K Chiranjeevi is a member of the Rajya Sabha from Andhra Pradesh since April, 2012.
