From Rajnath to Amit Shah and Shivraj, Modi 3.0 Ministers Get Calls Ahead Of Swearing

New Delhi: Days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term begins, several leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have received phone calls from the top leadership, including the Prime Minister himself.

Key Ministers Contacted

Among those who have been contacted are Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal. These ministers are expected to retain their portfolios in the new government.

Possible Cabinet Reshuffle

The calls have sparked speculation of a possible cabinet reshuffle after Modi takes the oath of office on May 30. Sources close to the BJP leadership have indicated that some new faces may be inducted into the cabinet, while others may be shifted to different ministries.

Assessment of Performance

It is believed that the phone calls were made to assess the performance of the ministers in their previous roles and to discuss the expectations for the future. The BJP leadership is keen on strengthening the government’s performance and ensuring that the party retains its dominance in the 2024 general elections.

Role of New Leaders

The inclusion of new leaders in the cabinet would signal a shift in the party’s leadership and demographics. It would also provide an opportunity for the younger generation of politicians to gain experience and contribute to the government’s agenda.

Final Decisions Forthcoming

The final decisions on cabinet appointments are likely to be made closer to the swearing-in ceremony. The BJP leadership is currently reviewing the performance of all ministers and considering various options for the new government. The announcements are expected to be made soon after the swearing-in.
