PM Modi Holds Another Meeting With Union Ministers, BJP President Amid Speculations Of Cabinet Reshuffle
This comes as the Prime Minister has for the past one week has been holding in-person meetings with the Union Ministers apparently to take stock of the work done by the government in the last two years and to discuss various other issues, sources added.
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held a meeting attended by Union Ministers, including Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and D V Sadananda Gowda, besides Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J.P. Nadda.
PTI reported sources as saying that the meeting, which was also attended by Minister of State V Muraleedharan, besides others is the fifth in the series and perhaps the last.
This comes as the Prime Minister has for the past one week has been holding in-person meetings with the Union Ministers apparently to take stock of the work done by the government in the last two years and to discuss various other issues, sources added.
Prime Minister Modi is also said to have discussed several important and significant issues with them during the meetings, which sources said were called after the second wave of Covid cases.
He had last week met Union Ministers, including Amit Shah, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Jitender Singh, along with Nadda, who sources said was present in most of the meetings held at the Prime Minister’s official 7, Lok Kalyan Marg residence.
The political observers and insiders of the ruling party at the Centre are of the understanding that this could be an exercise before an expected Cabinet expansion and reshuffle.
Apart from deliberations over Centre's performance, discussion over Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections and BJP's blueprint for the same might also be on the agenda last week.
There was a growing buzz about the Cabinet expansion in Uttar Pradesh and Yogi Adityanath met PM Modi and other bigwigs of the ruling party during his two-day visit to the national capital.
Apart from the three top leaders of the BJP, other ministers were also present at today's meeting. Last week, PM Modi has met Union ministers in different batches of late and Nadda was also been present there.
Prime Minister's marathon meetings clearly signal big changes in leadership in both Centre and BJP-ruled state, especially Uttar Pradesh which is slated for Assembly Elections next year.
Nadda had also held a meeting with the party general secretaries where, besides the relief work carried out by the saffron organisation during the Covid-19 pandemic, its performance in the recent assembly polls were reviewed.
There has, however, been no official word yet from the government or BJP in this regard.
