New Delhi: Around eight Union Ministers reached at BJP national president Amit Shah's residence in Delhi on Thursday.

Finance minister Arun Jaitley earlier on Thursday hinted that he would not be serving the post of Defence Minister for long.

Jaitley was given additional charge of the Defence Ministry when Manohar Parrikar became the Chief Minister of Goa in March, 2017.
