As discussions on the Modi 3.0 Cabinet intensify, the BJP has drawn a firm line on key portfolios like Defence, Finance, Home, and Foreign Affairs, despite demands from allies for significant roles. Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP and Nitish Kumar’s JDU, with 16 and 12 seats respectively, seek prominent positions, including the Lok Sabha Speaker post and several cabinet ministries. Other allies like Shiv Sena and LJP also push for cabinet spots. With the BJP securing 240 seats, 32 short of the majority, accommodating allies while retaining control of core ministries is a critical balancing act.
