Modi govt reshuffle to focus on bringing in young faces, technocrats | Inside track

India Today  

Top-level sources have told India Today that the central thrust of the current expansion and reshuffle exercise is to convey the message that the Modi government is a government of the poor, OBCs, Dalits and dispossessed people of the country. In a bid to augment the administrative acumen of the central government, the Prime Minister has reached out to key technocrats to bring them into his council of ministers. After this expansion, there will be 25 OBC ministers in the central government, which is a testament to the Prime Minister's desire to give representation to the smallest and most dispossessed communities. The reshuffle will see the addition of some younger faces, which will bring down the average age of the central government.
