Speculations of a major reshuffle in the Modi cabinet |
July 11 2023 |
A major reshuffle is possible in the Modi cabinet in the coming few days. If sources are to be believed, this reshuffle can happen anytime before the monsoon session of Parliament i.e. 17th July. The date that can be fixed for this is July 4 or 5 or anytime between July 8-15. The names doing the rounds to become a minister are any one of Captain Amarinder Singh, CP Joshi, Chirag Paswan, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Keshav Prasad Maurya, Pratap Rao Jadhav, Rahul Shewale or Shrirang Burne. Many big ministers such as Dharmendra Pradhan, Narendra Singh Tomar, Prahlad Joshi, and Mahendra Nath Pandey can be sent to the party organization in view of the upcoming 2024 elections. The burden of some ministers can be reduced, like Ashwini Vaishnav IT, and steel can be withdrawn from Jyotiraditya Scindia. In the changed scenario, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, Mukesh Sahni’s VIP and NDA’s old constituent Akalis may return to the government again. There are speculations of a comeback even for Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP. In view of the upcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan, the names of Dausa MP Jaskaur Meena and Banswara-Dungarpur MP Kankamal Katara are also said to be in the race for ministerial posts. At the same time, the names of Brahmin face of Rajasthan Ghanshyam Tiwari, Sikar MP Sumedhanand Saraswati and Princess Diya Kumari are also discussed. Telangana State President Bandi Sanjay Kumar can also be included in the cabinet. Malayalam superstar Suresh Gopi, who hails from Kerala, can also be made a minister at the Centre. The names of Eatala Rajendra and DK Aruna are being discussed as the new president of Telangana state BJP. These speculations are also getting wings because PM Modi is holding an important cabinet meeting on July 3 at the newly built convention center of Pragati Maidan, Delhi. Earlier this Wednesday, soon after returning from his foreign trip, the PM had a marathon meeting of 5 hours at his official residence with Amit Shah, JP Nadda and General Secretary of the organization BL Santosh. This meeting was about a comprehensive change in the government and party organization. |
