PM Narendra Modi to meet council of ministers today

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet his entire Council of Ministers on Friday evening, the first such meeting since the September Cabinet reshuffle.

First-time ministers holding independent charge, like RK Singh, Hardeep Singh Puri and Alphons Kannanthanam, will for the first time get a chance to meet the PM along with other Cabinet ministers.

The Council of Ministers may be briefed on the roll-out of GST and presentations on other key policy issues may be made by senior government officials.


The PM has held such meetings with the entire council earlier too. The last such meeting was held on April 12 when the PM had met the council for two and a half hours and presentations were made on GST, Digital India and cashless transactions and government e-Marketplace.
