Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with the top ministers and BJP Chief, JP Nadda, at 5 p.m, during the cabinet expansion news, has been cancelled.
The motive of the meeting was expected to be over the performance of thr ministers and the proposals for the future schemes of the government.
The meeting would be attended by Amit Shah; Home Minister, Rajnath Singh; Defence Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman; Finance Minister, along with the other Union Ministers including Dharmendra Pradhan, Pralhad Joshi, Piyush Goyal and Narendra Singh Tomar.
On June 20, PM Modi held a meeting to review the functioning of the government in the past two years with the top ministers.
The Union Cabinet currently consists of 53 ministers although it can have 81 members, which means that there would be place for 28 more ministers in the cabinet.
PM Modi would likely to factor in the polls of five states for the next year and the national elections for the year 2024, as he expands his cabinet for the first time.
Jyotiraditya Scindia; Assam CM, Sarbananda Sonowal and Pashupati Para; leaders of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) coup against Chirag Paswan in Bihar, were in the main focus for this meeting.
In 2019, the Bihar Chief Minister had refused the BJP’s offer of one Ministry, hence it was not clear if Nitish Kumar, Janata Dal United, would finally join the Union Cabinet.
