The Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) 3.0 government is expected to be sworn in on June 9 at 7 pm, with significant representation from its allies in the cabinet, according to sources from CNBC-TV18. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is anticipated to retain the Speaker post and allocate several key cabinet and Minister of State (MoS) positions to its allies, the sources added.

Both the Janata Dal (United) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have emphasized the importance of adhering to a common minimum program and agenda following the government formation. The two parties have also expressed the necessity to review certain contentious issues such as the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and the Agniveer scheme. Specifically, they have urged the NDA to set aside issues that could adversely impact the people of Bihar and Andhra Pradesh.

The JDU has requested four cabinet berths, specifically targeting ministries related to infrastructure, agriculture, transport, and industries, sources indicated. Meanwhile, the TDP has sought 3–4 cabinet positions. Additionally, the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), which secured five seats, is seeking one cabinet position and one MoS post.

NDA MPs are scheduled to meet in Parliament on Friday, after which leaders will present a letter of support to the President, solidifying the BJP-led NDA alliance. NDA allies remain confident that the BJP will secure the backing of independent MPs, bringing their total seat count above 300.
