Soon after assuming charge, Irani has held a meeting with all senior officials of the ministry. The Amethi MP has retained the charge of Textiles Ministry, a portfolio she held during the first term of the Narendra Modi government. She had met her predecessor Maneka Gandhi on June 01 to discuss important issues in the ministry and the way forward in tackling them.
