Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who returned to Delhi from his six-day tour of three Asian countries Tuesday night, is meeting his top five ministers to discuss the completion of the BJP-led coalition’s first year in power.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu and Urban Development Minister Nitin Gadkari are at the Prime Minister’s Race Course Road residence for the meeting.
Narendra Modi and his ministers took office on May 26 last year, and that date is being observed as Jan Kalyan Parv (People’s Welfare Festival) in an apparent bid to counter the opposition’s allegation that the Modi government is “pro-corporate” or in Congress leader Rahul’s Gandhi’s words, a “suit-boot ki sarkar.”
