"Prime Minister Narendra Modi's New Cabinet Member will be declared soon"
Narendra Modi govt. is all set to reshuffle their cabinet on 2 September. The reshuffle of cabinet member has been taking place since Manohar Parrikar resigned as defense minister to become the Chief Minister of Goa. Finance minister Arun Jaitley has been holding additional charge of the defense ministry since then.
According to the IBN7 research team, more than half a dozen ministers are likely to be dropped from the Cabinet in this reshuffle.
The Cabinet reshuffle is also necessary as there are many ministers currently holding multiple portfolios. Right now, the council of ministers has 72 ministers - 24 of cabinet rank, 12 MoS (independent charge) and 36 mos.
Still many of them could join the cabinet. After the Janata Dal (United) faction led by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, some of its leaders to are expected to join the Union Cabinet.
The last cabinet reshuffle took place in July 2016 in which Modi inducted 19 new faces and elevated MoS for Environment Prakash Javadekar to cabinet rank. Five junior ministers were also dropped.
Well, citizens are keen to know who will get what post.
