Bhubaneswar: BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leader Narendra Modi will take the oath as prime minister of India today at 7:15 p.m.
Besides, Ashwini Vaishnaw and Jual Oram are likely to be part of the Modi 3.0 Cabinet as both Vaishnaw and Oram are said to have received calls from PMO.
Coalition compulsions will shape the makeup of the Modi 3.0 cabinet, with very few ministers holding more than one portfolio.
The BJP is short of a majority on its own for the first time in 10 years and this will reflect in the swearing-in ceremony and the composition of the cabinet. Allies, especially Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party and Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal United, are pressing for more than one ministerial berth and other parties will need to be accommodated too.
