Modi cabinet expansion is soon going to take place, there is a talk in power lobby that Modi trust bureaucrats more than politician for policy making, When he was a Chief Minister in Gujrat he used to make policies with a handful of IAS officers,
Modi is said to believe that a good bureaucrat can deliver more than a typical neta.
In May 2014 he inducted former Army Chief General VK Singh in his ministry. In Nov 2014 he inducted former Army officer and sportsman Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore. In July 2016 he inducted former IAS officer Arjun Ram Meghwal. In Sep 2017 four bureaucrats/civil servants were added: Hardeep Singh Puri, Raj Kumar Singh, K Alphons, and Satya Pal Singh.
The most important move was the induction of the highly experienced diplomat Dr S Jaishankar as the Minister of External Affairs.
His closest bureaucrats are Ajit Doval, Dr PK Mishra and Dr Rajeev Kumar. All three have cabinet ranking from Modi 1.0
