Continuity in Key Ministries:
Prime Minister Modi has opted for stability in the “Big 4” ministries by retaining key incumbents. Amit Shah continues to helm the Home Ministry, while Rajnath Singh retains the Defence Ministry. Nirmala Sitharaman remains at the helm of the Finance Ministry, and S. Jaishankar continues to lead the External Affairs Ministry. This decision highlights the government’s focus on consistency and experience in critical areas of governance.
New Entrants and Strategic Alliances:
The inclusion of ministers from NDA partners reflects the government’s emphasis on coalition politics and inclusive governance. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has secured the Aviation Ministry, highlighting the significance of regional allies in shaping policy and administration. This move not only strengthens the NDA alliance but also brings diverse perspectives to the decision-making table.
