The comprehensive list was unveiled after the inaugural meeting of the new Union Cabinet, which convened at the Prime Minister’s official residence. Barring a few exceptions, prominent leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will retain their previous roles under the Modi 3.0 administration. Veteran BJP stalwarts Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nirmala Sitharaman, and S. Jaishankar will continue to helm the crucial ministries of Home Affairs, Defense, Finance, and External Affairs, respectively.
