Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a meeting of the Union Council of Ministers on July 3. This has sparked speculation about a possible Cabinet reshuffle following his discussions with top BJP leaders on Wednesday.
The meeting is expected to take place at the newly built convention centre at Pragati Maidan in Delhi. This venue will also host the G20 summit in September.
The agenda for the meeting has not been disclosed yet, but the Cabinet reshuffle is likely to be one of the topics discussed.
The previous major Cabinet reshuffle occurred in July 2021. Since then, there have been significant changes in the BJP’s top leadership, including the appointment of new party presidents in several states.
This has fueled rumors that the Modi government is planning a major Cabinet overhaul in preparation for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The outcome of the July 3 meeting remains uncertain. Nevertheless, it is evident that the Modi government is considering various changes to enhance its prospects in the upcoming general election.
