The Modi Cabinet will meet here for the first time this evening.

Indications are that a formal announcement of the portfolios will be made post this meeting.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to keep a lean Cabinet on the basis of ‘minimum government, maximum governance’ policy.

All the 45 members of Narendra Modi’s council of ministers took oath along with him on Monday.
