NDA Allies Secure Key Cabinet Positions in Modi's Third Term

In Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term, BJP's NDA partners secured five cabinet minister positions, indicating greater dependency on allies compared to the previous term. This marks a shift from the outgoing government which had no alliances with independent cabinet ministers. The change emphasizes the NDA's strategy to strengthen its coalition.

In a notable political shift, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term sees the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaning heavily on its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) partners.

Unlike its previous term, the BJP has allocated five cabinet ministerial positions to its allies, reflecting increased dependence for a majority in the Lok Sabha.

Among the newly sworn-in cabinet members are H D Kumaraswamy and Chirag Paswan, signaling a strategic move to reinforce the NDA coalition.
