Bommai’s Delhi visit triggers fresh speculations on Cabinet rejig

Hindustan Times  

Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai’s sudden New Delhi visit scheduled for Thursday, his second this month, has sparked off speculation in political circles, especially within the ruling BJP, about the much-awaited expansion or reshuffle of his cabinet. According to the tour programme released by his office, the chief minister would reach New Delhi on Thursday afternoon and return Friday evening. The chief minister’s Delhi visit in the backdrop of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two-day visit to Karnataka earlier this week and BJP national president J P Nadda’s tour last weekend has given rise to speculations. Amid rumours in BJP circles that a top-to-bottom overhaul of the Cabinet cannot be ruled out, ministerial aspirants are hopeful that a decision on Cabinet expansion or reshuffle is likely soon, and there are even talks that several incumbents could make way for fresh faces.
