On Monday, the third government led by prime minister Narendra Modi gave precedence to continuity over coalition dharma by assigning significant cabinet positions to notable ministers from the previous administration, such as Rajnath Singh, amit shah, S jaishankar, and Nirmala Sitharaman. On the other hand, the bjp gave its allies more representation in the council of ministers, perhaps adjusting to the new reality.
 
Here are key takeaways from cabinet portfolio allocation:
• The new nda administration has not altered the makeup of the cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), with Rajnath Singh, amit shah, Nirmala Sitharaman, and S jaishankar holding the positions of Defence, Home, Finance, and External Affairs, respectively.

• bjp leaders jp nadda, shivraj singh chouhan, and manohar lal khattar were among the new faces admitted. jp nadda has been designated as the health portfolio head, while shivraj singh chouhan has been named as the Agriculture Minister.

• The portfolios of ministers Mansukh Mandaviya, pralhad joshi, Jyotiraditya Scindia, gajendra singh shekhawat and kiren rijiju have been changed.

Scindia has been given the charge of the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Development of the North Eastern Region. gajendra singh shekhawat has been allocated the Ministry of culture and Ministry of Tourism. kiren rijiju is the new Union minister of Parliamentary Affairs and minister of Minority Affairs.
