Bhubaneswar: Narendra Modi is set to be sworn in as India’s Prime Minister today at 7:15 p.m., marking the beginning of his third term.
Key leaders Ashwini Vaishnaw and Jual Oram are expected to join the new cabinet, having reportedly received invitations from the Prime Minister’s Office.
The composition of the Modi 3.0 cabinet will be significantly influenced by coalition dynamics, as the BJP, for the first time in a decade, lacks a standalone majority. This scenario necessitates accommodating allies like Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party and Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal United, who are both demanding more ministerial positions. Consequently, very few ministers are likely to manage multiple portfolios.
