Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah is all set to be inducted into the cabinet of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi who will be sworn in for a second straight term at the Rashtrapati Bhawan in New Delhi.

Indian media yesterday came down heavily on ruling Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah for terming illegal immigrants from Bangladesh “termites” and “vermin” and said it “coarsens discourse and deepens divides” and risks “ruining relations” with the neighbour.
