In the impending cabinet reshuffle, the government could show the door to the ministers who have just turned 75years or are older than that age. This is being speculated as BJP took a decision recently to drop two ministers from the Madhya Pradesh government on the grounds that they have crossed 75 years or age.
Union Minister Najma Heptulla turned 75 in April last year and her colleague Kalraj Mishra turns 75 on Friday. According to sources states like UP and Assam are likely to get more representation in the Council of Ministers while some ministers of state may be promoted up the ranks. As UP would be going to polls early next year the party is looking to promote its leaders from that region for better representation.
