New Delhi/IBNS: Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani has been given the additional charge of the Ministry of Minority Affairs after Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi resigned on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has been given the additional charge of the Ministry of Steel following Union Minister RCP Singh's resignation.

President Ram Nath Kovind accepted their resignations and reassigned the portfolios.

With Naqvi resigning as his Rajya Sabha term ends a day later, there will be no Muslim face in the Union Council of Ministers and BJP's Members of Parliament.

RCP Singh, who was a former bureaucrat and JD(U) leader, resigned on his birthday, one year after joining the Union Cabinet from his party's quota.
