New Delhi, Oct 28 (ANI): The much-anticipated Cabinet reshuffle of the Manmohan Singh led UPA-II Government took place today, with the Cabinet going in for a major makeover on most of its fronts. In what is being seen as its last reshuffle, prior to the 2014 general elections, 22 ministers were sworn in, of which 10 were first-timers. As was expected, the swearing-in ceremony that was held at the Rashtrapati Bhawan, saw a host of new and 'young' faces making entry into the Union Cabinet. Salman Khurshid replaced SM Krishna as the new External Affairs Minister, while A Rahman Khan got Minority Affairs. Veerappa Moily is the new Petroleum Minister, while Jaipal Reddy now goes to the education ministry.
