Modi likely to stake claim to form government at 8 pm today

The NDA's landslide victory in the Lok Sabha elections has put the spotlight on the next big headline: the men and women who will be in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's council of ministers.

Modi, the first Prime Minister to win two clear majorities in a row, could possibly bring in new faces in his Council of Ministers.

 

There is intense speculation that BJP President Amit Shah might be given a heavyweight Cabinet berth.
