New Delhi, May 18 (IBNS): After registering a historic win in the Lok Sabha elections and receiving a warm welcome in Varanasi, India's Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi is all set to meet the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) top brass along with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Rajanth Singh in the national capital on Sunday to decide on the future course of action for the party.
According to reports, Modi along with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Rajnath Singh is expected to deliberate on the cabinet portfolios for his government.
