New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday evening met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief JP Nadda amid speculations about a possible rejig in Union Cabinet, an exercise the Centre has not undertaken ever since it returned to power in 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.

According to reports, PM Modi is reviewing the performance of various ministries keeping in mind the way they handled the second wave of Covid-19. Prime Minister held series of meeting regarding the same and talks about a cabinet expansion are rife.

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 of today's meet. 

There is also 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 three top leaders of the BJP, other ministers were also present at today's meeting. Over the week, PM Modi has met Union ministers in different batches of late and Nadda was also been present there.

The deliberations among the top BJP leaders at the Prime Minister's residence in Delhi came a day after Shah met several party allies from Uttar Pradesh. Notably, the Union Home Minister met Apna Dal's Anupriya Patel, who was a minister in the first Modi government but was not inducted in the next.

Meanwhile, 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.
