Gujarat Bhawan - a kilometre away from the Prime Minister's residence at 7 Race Course Road where Narendra Modi will soon live - is the hub of intense political activity. Modi is holding multiple meetings here as he finalises names for his cabinet.

There has been fierce speculation on who will get top posts in his government, but Modi and his core team have played their cards close and are expected to continue doing so until a meeting tomorrow of the BJP's lawmakers.

At that meeting the party's 282 new Lok Sabha MPs will elect Modi as their leader and he will then stake claim to form government.

The date of Modi's swearing in ceremony is yet to be announced and it is not clear yet if he will be sworn in alone or along with some ministers.

Yesterday, Modi met many BJP leaders from different states at the Gujarat Bhawan where he is staying in Delhi. He stepped out to visit veteran leader LK Advani, with whom he talked for about 40 minutes and then later, Murli Manohar Joshi.-- NDTV
