Negotiations for a reunion have reportedly not begun in full earnest.It is five months since the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance or NDA won the general elections and on the menu at dinner today, said sources, is a pep talk from the PM.
Mr Modi is also expected to discuss the government's plans to push through important reforms like Foreign Direct Investment in insurance through Parliament in the winter session.
Over the weekend, his government freed diesel prices from government control - the biggest-yet reform by his government and one which targets one of India's costliest subsidies.
The cabinet may discuss reforms in the coal sector, sources told NDTV.
The BJP's massive gains in the elections in Maharashtra and Haryana, where the party will form the next government, could help speed up more reforms.
The election results in both states will also significantly strengthen the BJP's power in the Rajya Sabha or upper house of Parliament, where the government and its allies lack a majority. The composition of the Rajya Sabha is based on seats won in state assemblies. As the BJP and its partners add to their numbers, they will be less reliant on the opposition's support in clearing key legislation, which must be approved by both houses of Parliament.
Mr Modi's massive mandate in the national election in May came after he pledged to revive the lethargic economy and clean up endemic corruption, but critics have been urging for faster and deeper reforms
