Union Cabinet reshuffle likely this week
The Hindu
24 slots vacant with ministers holding multiple portfolios
The long anticipated reshuffle and expansion of the Union Cabinet is likely to take place this week, according to highly placed sources. The expansion, with 24 slots to fill and multiple ministries held by a single ministers to be decoupled, has been talked about for a while now, with the possibility of it happening either on July 7 or 9 now being talked about with more certainty. Several shoo-ins in the Union Cabinet — a leader from north-central India who is owed a ministerial berth as a political quid pro quo and a leader from eastern India — have both cancelled their travel plans and have been asked to be in Delhi on those dates. Sources in the BJP said the Cabinet expansion will also affect the organisational appointments in the party as a senior general secretary of the BJP is expected to get a Cabinet berth.
