Govind Singh Rajput, Tulsi Silawat to become ministers again post Diwali

Govind Singh Rajput and Tulsiram Silawat will again be sworn in ministers post-Diwali. Both resigned from the ministerial posts in the run-up to by-polls. Because of the possibilities of cabinet expansion, the BJP leaders have also started to demand cabinet berths. Three ministers Imarti Devi, Aidal Singh Kansana and Girraj Dandotia have to resign from the cabinet because they have lost the by-elections.

There are 29 ministers, including Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in the cabinet. He can accommodate six more ministers. The ruling party is making efforts for it. Salawat and Rajput are all set to get ministerial berths. The aspirants for cabinet position in the ruling party want that they should also be sworn in with Rajput and Silawat.

A four-time minister Girish Gautam said Vindhya region was under represented in the ministry. He said he wanted that Vindhya should be adequately represented in the cabinet. Among former ministers, Rajendra Shukla, Sanjay Pathak, Rampal Singh, Gouri Shanker Bisen, Yashpal Singh Sisodia and Rameshwar Sharma are pulling out all the stops to get ministerial berths. Jyotiraditya Scindia may demand that his supporters should again be adjusted against the ministerial posts which have fallen vacant after the defeat of some former ministers.
