After an extensive interaction with secretaries from all Union ministries, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to convene the first meeting of his new council of 57 ministers on Wednesday. At the meeting, he is expected to outline the roadmap of his government for the next five years. Before the meeting of the council of ministers, the Union Cabinet will also meet on Wednesday. The Cabinet, which will also meet on Wednesday, is likely to take a call on a fresh bill to ban the practice of instant triple talaq. In the first Cabinet meeting, the Modi regime had approved the expansion of the PM-KISAN scheme to give farmers Rs 6,000 financial assistance per annum.
