Almost a month after forming the government for the third consecutive time, the Narendra Modi-led central government has formed various cabinet committees with National Democratic Alliance partners bagging high-level positions.
The members of the cabinet committees include Union ministers from the BJP and its NDA partners Janata Dal (U), Telugu Desam Party, Janata Dal (S), Shiv Sena and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas).
What are cabinet committees?
After a party wins the election, step one is to form the government and step two is to allocate portfolios. Following this the government forms high-profile cabinet committees that various union ministers are also part of.
These committees are assigned important duties by the prime minister who also has the authority to modify the functions of these committees.
Each committee has three to eight members, and the prime minister is part of one and he is the head of that committee. Usually, at least one cabinet minister is made part of each committee.
The main task of these committees is to brainstorm proposals and plans for the Cabinet to consider. Cabinet committees are also expected to hold debates and discussions, make recommendations, and make appointments in national security bodies.
