As top ministers in Modi Cabinet assume charge, Opposition laments allocation of portfolios

Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday assumed charge as the Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, a portfolio he also held in the previous Modi government apart from holding the office of the Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs. However, this time around, Hardeep Singh Puri retained the Petroleum and Natural Gas ministry. Also, BJP's first MP from the state of Kerala, Suresh Gopi assumed charge as the Minister of State (MoS) of Petroleum.

Meanwhile, former Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar also assumed charge of the Ministry of Power as well as the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. 

On the other hand, the Opposition INDIA bloc attacked PM Modi claiming that he has allotted his allies like the JD(U) lighter and less prestigious portfolios than they deserved. More on India's Agenda.
