The BJP had scored a massive victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections under him. Jaishankar, who had briefed the CCS on many occasions during his stint as foreign secretary from January 2015 to 2018, will now be part of the body
There will be a change of role for Rajnath Singh and Nirmala Sitharaman in the CCS. While Singh was the home minister in the previous cabinet, Sitharaman was the defence minister. This time Singh will be representing defence ministry at the CCS, while Sitharaman will be the finance minister.
