Since the formation of the new national team of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a new question has started floating in the political circles of the country. The question is whether some key Union ministers will now be removed from the government and given bigger responsibilities in the organization? And if this happens, will new and young faces get a chance to join the Modi cabinet instead?
The decision to appoint Union Minister Piyush Goyal as the new National Treasurer of the party has further fueled this discussion. The principle of 'one person, one post' has always been discussed in BJP. In such a situation, after Goyal got this important responsibility in the government as well as the organization, speculations are being made whether a major change can be seen in the cabinet in the coming time.
Which states are BJP keeping a close eye on?
According to information received from BJP sources, the entire attention of the party leadership is now focused on the upcoming state assembly elections. Assembly elections are proposed in 2027 in many states including Uttar Pradesh and the party is working on a strategy to bring its entire organization into full election mode from now on.
Under this strategy, it is believed that if there is any change in the Modi cabinet, then the administrative performance of the ministers will not be the only criterion. Rather, along with this, regional representation of the states, caste balance and the needs of the upcoming elections will also prove to be very important factors.
Will there really be a major reshuffle in the Modi cabinet?
At present, various kinds of speculations are being made in the political circles regarding the reshuffle in the Modi cabinet, but no direct or official answer to this question has come forward at the moment. No formal announcement has been made yet by the Central Government or the party regarding the date of cabinet reshuffle or the names of new ministers.
However, indications from inside indicate that serious discussions are going on at the top level on this topic. BJP has recently made many important changes in its organization. The changes in the social media wing and the announcement of the new national team clearly show that the party is re-setting its entire machinery for the next phase of electoral politics. In such a situation, the possibility of change even at the government level cannot be completely ruled out.
