TIL Desk/National/Chennai/ A cabinet-reshuffle-cum-expansion could soon be on the cards for PM Modi-led NDA government. The exercise may also see members of Janata Dal (United) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) being inducted into the cabinet.
Two days ago, the JD(U) – lead by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar – decided to join the NDA during a party convention in Patna.
Yesterday, the rival factions of AIADMK in Tamil Nadu — one by Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswamy (EPS) and other by O Panneerselvam (OPS) — merged to present a united front.
An announcement regarding the cabinet reshuffle and expansion may be made in the next few days, possibly by August 25 reports said.
BJP chief Amit Shah, who cancelled his three-day Tamil Nadu trip, to meet several party leaders in the National Capital, have further fuelled the rumours. This week, two crucial alliances have come together for the ruling BJP.
