As the BJP gears up for ‘Mission 2029’ locking down party chief Nitin Nabin’s team, speculation about a reshuffle of ministers in the Union government has intensified.
Currently, there is no Brahmin Cabinet Minister from Uttar Pradesh. there is also scope to increase representation for Dalit and Extremely Backward Class communities While that space could be filled. They have thus become the second-largest constituent of the NDA after the BJP.
The most significant development occurred in West Bengal, where 20 Lok Sabha MPs broke away from the Trinamool Congress and announced their support for the NDA.
Parties with fewer MPs — such as the TDP and JD(U) — hold one Cabinet minister and one Minister of State post each. So if this Trinamool faction decides to join the government, they may demand one Cabinet and one Minister of State position. The new figure entitles them too to stake claim for a Cabinet post. Currently, they have only one Minister of State (Independent Charge) position. it is rare for a leader to continue in the government after being assigned a responsibility within the party organisation While the decision on whether Goyal should remain in the government rests with the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Anil Baluni becomes Media In-charge, with Alok Bhatt becoming Joint Co-In-charge of Social Media. Gujarat is represented by Varshaben Narendrabhai Doshi as Vice President, while Jagdish Ishwarbhai Patel and Rohan Gupta hold the positions of National Secretaries.
Another major political development has taken place in Maharashtra, where six MPs from Shiv Sena (UBT) have merged into the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), pushing its strength to 13. In 2020, JP Nadda appointed Rajesh Agrawal as Treasurer and then, removed him and entrusted the responsibility to Goyal.
