The Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs of the Central Government of India deals with problems related to Centre-State relations, considers economic and political issues that require a broader perspective, and handles foreign affairs that do not have internal or external security implications.[1][2] It is also known as 'super cabinet,' as it consists of most of the most important Cabinet ministers.[citation needed]
The Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs—like all other Cabinet Committees of the Government of India—is extra-constitutional.[3] It is chaired by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and was reconstituted by him according to the Government of India (Transaction of Business) Rules, 1961[4] shortly after his party's victory in the 2019 general election.
