Modi's third term: What can we expect from his government?
A 73-member Union Council of Ministers led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi took oath on the 9th of June. A vast majority of BJP ministers have been retained even as about half a dozen Cabinet slots have been given to allied parties in the NDA government, the first since 2014 where the BJP doesn\u2019t have a majority of its own.\xa0\nSo, what kind of government are we looking at? Will the BJP\u2019s divisive plans of one nation, one election, a Uniform Civil Code or taking over mosques in Varanasi and Mathura be jettisoned? Or will the anti-Muslim speeches delivered by Prime Minister Modi during the election campaign be taken as the governing philosophy of the NDA government? Interestingly, not a single Muslim has found space in the 70-plus Council of Ministers.\xa0\nJoining us to delve into these questions is author and journalist Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, an expert in BJP and Modi's politics.\nGuest: Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, political journalist and author.\xa0\nHost: Amit Baruah, Senior Associate Editor, The Hindu.\xa0\nEdited by Jude Francis Weston
