India Political Highlights: Congress takes potshot at PM Modi over RSS chief Bhagwat's Manipur remark
As Narendra Modi took oath and assumed office for the third consecutive term as the Prime Minister of India, the most anticipated part of the government formation was the portfolio allocation. On Monday, the Modi 3.0 Cabinet announced the portfolio distribution. The BJP kept the crucial Defence, Finance, External Affairs and Home ministries with itself. Among the allies, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy got the Heavy Industries and Steel portfolio and JD(U) leader Lala Singh has the Panchayati Raj as well as Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying ministries. TDP leader Rammohan Naidu has been given the Civil Aviation portfolio. In another development, actor-turned-politician Suresh Gopi dismissed media reports suggesting that he was seeking an 'exit' from the Narendra Modi-led government.
