New Delhi: Narendra Modi is likely to retain the same faces, except for Arun Jaitley, as he begins his second innings as Prime Minister on Thursday.
According to media reports, all the cabinet ministers of the previous regime will be retained, except Arun Jaitley who has requested the Prime Minister to relieve him this time around because of his health. Amit Shah’s induction into the cabinet is still being speculated, even as reports suggest he would continue to serve as the BJP president.
There was also speculation that at least three faces from Odisha will find a place in the Union ministry, but only Dharmendra Pradhan’s name has come up in media reports so far.
