Political maths behind cabinet expansion

India Today  

The reshuffle of the council of ministers by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday defied much of the speculation that was going around before the decision was announced. Informed sources say the cabinet rejig has an imprint of the RSS, which provided definitive feedback on the dropped ministers, and an astute political calculation with regard to key states and the BJP’s allies. Here's a look at five political messages emerging from the expansion of the council of ministers: ALLIES ONBOARD BUT When PM Modi began his second term in 2019, his government had ministers from four BJP allies: the Shiv Sena, the Shiromani Akali Dal, the Lok Janshakti Party and the Republican Party of India. Reports before cabinet expansion claimed the Janata Dal-United might get up to four berths — signalling a political victory of Nitish Kumar over Narendra Modi — but the prime minister maintained his ally-berth rule. Watch: Big overhaul of Modi cabinet, 11 ministers dropped Ravi Shankar Prasad and Harsh Vardhan headed ministries that came in for sharp criticism in recent times over social media rules and Covid-19 management respectively.
