NEW DELHI: The Central government on Tuesday re-organised the composition of the Niti Aayog and inducted representatives from the ally parties of the National Democratic Alliance. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains the chairperson of the Aayog, there are no changes in the post of Vice Chairman and other full-time members.
