Hide "Left office" column from all the tables[edit]

All the tables in section Union Council of Ministers#Current Union Council of Ministers have a column "Life office". All the values for this column are same i.e. "Incumbent".

Can we remove this column as the values are redundant, especially given the title of the section "Current Union Council of Ministers". If the list is of CURRENT ministers, they will all be incumbent by default. Waonderer (talk) 15:52, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the council is headed by prime minister Narendra Modi and consists of 29 members, including the prime minister.

This is incorrect. The correct information is: After the reshuffling, the Council of Ministers comprises the PM and 78 ministers. In the 2024 Council of Ministers, there are 29 Cabinet Ministers, 3 Ministers of State (Independent Charge) and 47 Ministers of State.

What has been mentioned in the article is 'Cabinet' rank ministers which are 29 but in reality the Council of Ministers is 79. Riteshwari (talk) 22:03, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Shadow311 (talk) 13:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

You can refer to the following link: https://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/news_updates/portfolios-of-the-union-council-of-ministers-2/

or

https://www.bjp.org/union-council-of-ministers

Cabinet ministers = 28 + 1 (PM)

MoS (independent charge) = 3

MoS = 44

Hence, 29 ministers refers only to the 'cabinet'. Entire council currently is = 76. Riteshwari (talk) 22:20, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
