The Modi 3.0 government on Monday allocated the portfolios to the Union ministers with most of the top leaders from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) retaining their ministries.

The top cabinet of the party once again has been the same portfolios. Amit Shah has been once again 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 a statement issued by President Droupadi Murmu on Monday evening.

Among the changes, 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 Rural Development ministries.

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.
