Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold final consultations with BJP executives this evening on the expansion of the Union Cabinet. Leaders including Jyotiraditya Cynthia have rushed to Delhi in this situation. It is expected that a cabinet reshuffle will be announced at any time.

Since the Union government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in 2019, there has been no change in the Union Cabinet so far. But reports from People say that's just what's happening with the caretaker Prime Minister.

Similarly, the BJP leadership is taking some steps to strengthen the party in Uttar Pradesh, which is gearing up for next year's assembly elections. Consultations were held with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in this regard. It seems that the BJP wants to change the Union Cabinet accordingly. State BJP leaders have been engaged in a series of consultations in this regard.

Prime Minister Modi recently met Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP leader JP Natta at his residence. Nothing has been released on the issue discussed at this meeting.

The meeting of BJP leaders was not held due to the 2nd wave of Corona. BJP MPs Natta and Amit Shah met the BJP MPs as the 2nd wave is now receding.

Following this, Amit Shah held consultations with BJP MPs and leaders from various states over the past few days. On the 12th and 13th, Amit Shah met state MPs from UP, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Similarly, Prime Minister Modi has been meeting BJP MPs for the last 5 days. This ensures that the Union Cabinet will be expanded soon.

In this context, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold final consultations with BJP executives this evening on the expansion of the Union Cabinet. Many senior BJP leaders are camping in Delhi.

Leaders including Jyotiraditya Cynthia have rushed to Delhi. It is expected that a cabinet reshuffle will be announced at any time.

As the cabinet is currently being expanded, it seems likely that MPs from those states will be given the opportunity to represent those states from which the Union Minister has not been elected.

There are 28 vacancies in the Union Cabinet. Apart from Prime Minister Modi, there are currently 21 cabinet ministers, 9 associate ministers (personal responsibility) and 23 associate ministers in the cabinet.
