Additional Information on Union Cabinet and Political Alliances

The Union Cabinet in India is part of the executive branch of the Government of India. It comprises senior ministers who head important ministries. The composition of the cabinet reflects the political alliance that forms the government.

  • The cabinet is headed by the Prime Minister.
  • Ministers are typically members of Parliament (either Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha).
  • In a coalition government, ministers are drawn from different political parties that form the ruling alliance.
  • Shiv Sena was an alliance partner of the BJP during the first term of the Narendra Modi government (2014-2019), and thus had representation in the cabinet through Anant Geete. Political alliances can change over time, affecting cabinet composition in subsequent terms.
