The most recent Union Cabinet reshuffle has come as an enormous stunner to the Telugu people as nobody from the Telugu states was accepted in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bureau. Prior, theories were doing rounds that two leaders from the Telugu states will be given services as the lone minister from Telangana Bandaru Dattatreya resigned in front of Cabinet rejig.
All partners however have been let well enough alone for the bureau reshuffle as the NDA administration picked 9 new union ministers from the BJP as it were. In the wake of no Telugu states people were getting accepted in chamber of ministers, Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is probably going to be elevated to Cabinet rank.
Power Minister Piyush Goyal and Petroluem Minister Dharmendra Pradhan are two different Ministers of State with Independent Charge who are required to be elevated to the Union Cabinet.
The 9 new union ministers are: Satya Pal Singh (ex-Mumbai Police chief ), resigned diplomat Hardeep Puri, resigned IAS officer KJ Alphons, previous home secretary RK Singh, Ashwini Kumar Choubey (Bihar), Shiv Pratap Shukla (Uttar Pradesh), Virendra Kumar (Madhya Pradesh), Anant Kumar Hegde (Karnataka) and Gajendra Singh Shekhawat (Rajasthan).
They have tooked the charges of as new union ministers at the Rashtrapati Bhavan at 10:00 Am toward the morning today. 6 ministers resigned to clear a path for the new faces. Another Defense Minister is required to be designated with Arun Jaitley holding the Finance portfolio.
Suresh Prabhu is relied upon to surrender the Railways portfolio and get another service. Bandaru Dattatreya, who was the Minister of State (independent charge) for Labor and Employment, is probably going to be given a Governor’s post.
