It has been reported that the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to be expanded today.

It seems that many of the newcomers will be given a chance in the cabinet. This is the second consecutive time that the BJP, led by Prime Minister Modi, has won the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and is in government. So, 28 new people can be added. Assembly elections are scheduled to be held next year in states including Uttar Pradesh. Moreover, in preparation for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, there has been talk for the past few weeks that a change will be made in the Union Cabinet.

Prime Minister Modi held lengthy consultations with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and party general secretary PL Santosh last night. It is learned that the list of new ministers has been finalized. In this context, Union Minister Tanwar Chand Gelad was appointed as the Governor of Karnataka yesterday. So the change in the Union Cabinet is certain. The inauguration of the new ministers is likely to take place this evening at 6:00 pm. Many have come yesterday.

It is said that Jyotiraditya Cynthia, who came to the BJP from the Congress, will definitely get a chance. Cynthia, who visited the Mahakali temple in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, yesterday morning, told her supporters that she was going to Delhi. RCP Singh, senior leader of the BJP's ally United Janata Dal (UJD), has also arrived in Delhi. In the recent assembly elections in Assam, the BJP regained power. At that time, Himanta Biswa Sharma was made the Chief Minister. Former Chief Minister Sarpanch Sonawale, who has resigned, is expected to become Union Minister. Pasupathi Parasum of the Lok Jana Shakti Party is also said to be waiting for the post of Union Minister. He too has rushed to Delhi.

It is said that anyone who is not currently an MP is likely to be in the Union Cabinet. Jithin Prasada or Dinesh Trivedi are likely to get the chance. Anupriya Patel of the Apna platform of the alliance party, Narayan Rane of the BJP, Rita Bahuguna Joshi, Varun and Lalan Singh are also expected to be given the opportunity. The federal government has decided.

Last, we were given the opportunity when the Union Cabinet took office in 2019. Could not accept for some reason. Let the past be the past. We are now ready to accept whatever Prime Minister Modi decides.
