The date and time for the much awaited and talked about cabinet reshuffle is finally set. Principal spokesperson of the government Frank Noronha tweeted that "cabinet expansion" will take place tomorrow at 11 AM. The reshuffle exercise could reflect the BJP's political priorities in UP where elections are due early next year.
According to party sources, PM Modi is all set to reshuffle and expand his council of ministers on Tuesday and may induct nine new faces in what will be the first such major exercise since he assumed office in May 2014. And some ministers can also be dropped but it is being said that no top ministers would be subjected to any change with their ministries. The vacancy in the Council of Ministers after sports minister Sarbananda Sonowal became the chief minister of Assam will be filled.
