Modi will expand his Cabinet before the winter session of Parliament and Parrikar's name is being mentioned as a possible Defence Minister. He is also likely to meet Modi. Asked about
the speculation that he may be inducted into the Cabinet, he said, "I can comment on it only after meeting the Prime Minister. Let the Prime Minister who has invited me comment."
