Amit Shah has been named Home Minister, Rajnath Singh Defence Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman Finance Minister, S Jaishankar External Affairs Minister and Nitin Gadkari the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry, according to reports.

Former Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal has been allocated Ministry of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs while former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan has been given Agriculture and Panchayati Rural Development ministries.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has kept the most of the top ministries with it while 11 leaders from the NDA allies also took oath on Sunday. 

The new council of ministers has 61 members from the BJP and 11 leaders from the NDA allies. Of the 72 ministers, 43 have three or more terms in the Parliament, and 39 were ministers in the Union government earlier.
