Modi government cabinet expansion: Preparations are going on for many changes in the Union Cabinet before the Lok Sabha elections. It is being told that in the next few days, the names of many more ministers may be included in the cabinet of the Modi government. Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with his ministers in Delhi regarding preparations for cabinet expansion. It is being said that PM Modi has prepared a roadmap for the preparations for cabinet expansion. In this change, the leave of some such ministers is being considered fixed, while many new faces can be seen in the cabinet.
Threat to the chair of many ministers
According to sources, the Prime Minister has given pink slips to many ministers and has started the exercise of adding many new allies. Three ministers of Gujarat have come in the danger zone. The chair of Mansukh Mandaviya, Purushottam Rupala and Darshana Zardosh is under threat. Some ministers may also be discharged from UP, because at present there are 16 ministers from UP in the Modi cabinet. In July 2022, the Rajya Sabha term of both Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and RCP Singh was over. After which both had resigned from the ministerial post. At present there are 75 ministers in the Modi government, after expansion there can be a total of 81 ministers including Modi.
focus on electoral states
Along with 2024, Prime Minister Modi’s focus is also on those states where assembly elections are to be held. In such a situation, representation from these states can increase in the Modi cabinet. There is news that some leaders from Madhya Pradesh can be adjusted in the cabinet. A new face can be seen in Modi’s cabinet from Telangana as well. There is representation of Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Arjun Meghwal from Rajasthan. That’s why there is less chance that any new face will be adjusted from here. Even from the election state Chhattisgarh, a big leader of BJP can be sent to the center.
How long will the cabinet expansion last?
Now the question is about the formalities of cabinet expansion. The President administers the oath to the new ministers, since the President will not be present in Delhi till July 7, it is being said that cabinet expansion may be possible after July 7. On July 7, PM will be in Gorakhpur for the program of Gita Press, on July 8 also PM Modi is out of Delhi. After this PM is going to France on 13th July. In this case, the window of July 9 to 12 is visible. That is, the process of cabinet expansion can be completed in these three days.
Focus can be on South
Political experts are also doing their analysis regarding cabinet expansion. Speaking to ABP News, Senior Journalist Sameer Chowgankar said, “I have a feeling that efforts will be made to reunite the NDA constituents who had left. Apart from this, representation from the south can also be increased, Because BJP was defeated recently in Karnataka. PM Modi is also focused on South. Maybe some new ministers will be made from Telangana, maybe someone from Tamil Nadu will be sent to Rajya Sabha. Will be done keeping in view the upcoming assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
who can become a minister
Now some names are coming out before the cabinet expansion. In which Devendra Fadnavis from Maharashtra is also included. There is speculation about Fadnavis going to Delhi. On the other hand, Pratap Rao Jadhav/Bhavna Gawli may get a chance from the Shinde faction. On the other hand, the NCP leaders who recently joined hands with the BJP may get rewarded. It is being said that NCP leader Praful Patel, who is currently a Rajya Sabha MP, can become a minister. He has been the civil aviation minister in the UPA government.
These names from Bihar and Punjab
There are 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, from here Chirag Paswan of LJP(R) can be made a minister, whose talks are on to join the NDA. On the other hand, if the Akali Dal joins the NDA in Punjab, then Harsimrat Kaur can be given a ministerial post. She has been a minister in the Modi government. He had resigned on the issue of farmer’s movement. The Akali Dal has indicated to rejoin the NDA.
