A Cabinet reshuffle and expansion, set to alter the complexion of the Narendra Modi-led Council of Ministers, is expected on Sunday. The overarching theme of the Cabinet reshuffle is to fulfill the PM’s earlier promise of providing maximum governance with minimum government. Some of the key ministries are likely to be merged. It would entail, sources said, setting up omnibus integrated ministries for sectors like transport and infrastructure, agriculture, energy and industry. The reshuffle would impact over two dozen ministries.
Each such omnibus ministry would have a Cabinet minister at the top, with several Ministers of State responsible for different sectors. One of the proposals is to have one mega ministry for agriculture, fertilizers, and panchayati raj. Another proposal is to integrate transport- and infrastructure-related ministries.
