Ambika Soni - Information and Broadcasting Minister

Ambika Soni

Portfolio: Information and Broadcasting Minister

Date of birth: November 13, 1942

Party: Indian National Congress

Soni was in charge of Ministry of Tourism and Culture in the previous government. She was involved in a row involving the Sethusamudram project when her department filed an affidavit questioning the existence of Lord Rama. She also faced embarrassment after she said that industrialist Vijay Mallya participated in the auction for Mahatma Gandhi's personal items in New York at the behest of the Government of India, a claim which was rejected by Mallya saying that it was his personal decision.
