The meeting is understood to have discussed the issue of crude oil supply amid rising prices. Kashmir is another focus area for Shah in view of the promises made in the BJP manifesto such as abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution. The Centre’s muscular anti-terror policy pursued in Kashmir is likely to be continued under the new govt.
Officials from the ministries of finance and petroleum along with NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant were present in the meeting chaired by Shah, an official said.
