With Narendra Modi's swearing-in for a third term as Prime Minister imminent, speculation grows over cabinet allocations in the BJP-led NDA. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Janata Dal (United) are lobbying for multiple key positions, including MoS Finance. TDP’s Chandrababu Naidu and JD(U)’s Nitish Kumar met with Modi, pushing for significant representation. Naidu emphasized unity and vigilance among TDP MPs. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena is likely to propose Pratap Rao Jadhav for a central ministerial post, bypassing Shrikant Shinde. Modi’s formal election as NDA leader and the subsequent oath-taking are scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
