Modi to meet RSS top brass in Delhi
New Delhi, May 18 (IBNS): After registering a historic win in the Lok Sabha elections and receiving a warm welcome in Varanasi, India's Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi is all set to meet the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) top brass along with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Rajanth Singh in the national capital on Sunday to decide on the future course of action for the party.
According to reports, Modi along with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Rajnath Singh is expected to deliberate on the cabinet portfolios for his government.
Reports also said that Modi met former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa on Sunday morning.
Earlier Singh has reportedly offered the Lok Sabha Speaker's post to party veteran LK Advani.
A CNN IBN report said Sushma Swaraj could bag the defence ministry and Arun Jaitley could be the Finance Minister. Former Army Chief General VK Singh is likely to be given a Minister of State post in the Defence Ministry.
While, the BJP chief is eyeing the Home Ministry post, Nitin Gadkari is likely to be given the Railways Ministry or the Infrastructure Ministry, the channel reported quoting sources.
The party's parliamentary board is again set to meet on May 20.
On Saturday, Rajnath Singh had announced that the date for Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony will be announced on May 20.
At a meeting of the BJP's Parliamentary Board at the party's headquarters in central Delhi, Singh said Modi will be elected as the Leader of the Parliamentary party on May 20.
