New Delhi: In the top political corridors of the country, the speculations about the long-awaited expansion of the Union Cabinet are again picking up fast. Sources say that it may be the last cabinet rejig ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in 2024.
The expansion is being considered stretagic for strengthening the political base and ensuring big victory for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls.
According to Dynamite News sources, the much awaited expansion of the Modi Cabinet may take place on July 17 or 18. Through this rejig Prime Minister wants to induct into the Cabinet such faces who are more trustworthy among people, stronger in terms of general elections and can live up to the changing political equations.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a three-day visit to France from 14 to 16 July. Two days after his return from France, an all-party meeting is to be held before the Parliament Session on July 19 and the Monsoon Session of Parliament begins from July 20.
There are only two dates of July 17 and 18 in between when in all probability PM Modi could rejig his cabinet.
It is a strange coincidence that earlier in 2021, PM Modi effected the Cabinet expansion in July and now after two years in 2023 Modi is expected to do it again in July. Of course the dates may vary - in 2021 it was July 21 and in 2023 it may be July 18 or 19.
