Waiting for extension for a long time
The cabinet expansion in the second term of the Modi government has been awaited for a long time. In March last year also, there was brainstorming on expansion. Meanwhile, the expansion was postponed due to the knock of the Corona epidemic and later the assembly elections of five states. Significantly, in the second term, due to the resignation of former allies Shiv Sena and Akali Dal’s quota ministers, the untimely death of two ministers, the workload on many ministers is very high. Many ministers are handling the responsibility of three to four departments. Apart from this, with the withdrawal of Shiv Sena and Akali Dal from the NDA, the leadership of the allies in the present government has become symbolic. At present only RPI’s Ramdas Athawale is involved in the government as a minister of state. While not a single colleague having representation in the Lok Sabha has representation in the cabinet.
Preparing for Big Change The
first expansion is preparing for massive change. Through this, along with ensuring the participation of allies, there are indications of the discharge of many ministers. Apart from this, the portfolios of many ministers are also to be reshuffled.
