The Modi-Shah duo took maximum care to keep the Union Ministry formation a very closely-guarded secret. In all, 60 Ministers are likely to get chance. Most of them are expected to be youth. This time, senior leader Arun Jaitley is unlikely to figure in the Cabinet as he himself spoke about his failing health.
Amit Shah will be inducted into the Cabinet and he may get the most significant ministry like finance and defence. There are doubts whether Modi will continue seniors like Sushma Swaraj who have health issues. Giant-killers like Smriti Irani will find their places safe in the ministry. Irani has defeated Rahul Gandhi in the Gandhi’s traditional stronghold of Amethi.
The BJP leaders are not discussing about the ministry formation. Modi has issued strict instructions not to go to the media for the sake of influencing ministry formation.
