The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 31 May 2019The new council of ministers of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a lot like the ministry it succeeds, except for the important addition of BJP president Amit Shah and the equally prominent omission of Arun Jaitley, who has recused himself on health grounds. Most regions of the country find representation, even Kerala, which failed to elect even a single member from the BJP or the larger National Democratic Alliance. Most allies have been accommodated, although Nitish Kumar has kept his Janata Dal (United) out, bargaining for two ministerial berths, instead of the one on offer. The AIADMK gets a boost in Tamil politics with its lone MP finding a ministerial berth at the Centre.
