Cabinet expansion in Gujarat by April 7: CJ Chavda, Modhwadia to be included
After the current session of the Gujarat Assembly, the talks about cabinet expansion have gained momentum. The official announcement about the expansion could be made early in the April, confirmed official sources.
The Gujarat government currently has eight cabinet ministers apart from the chief minister and eight state-level ministers, which is now likely to increase, sources said.
Although the old BJP leaders are unhappy with the place given to Congress leaders who switched parties in the cabinet expansion. However, as per the orders of the high command and the promise given to the turncoats, the BJP will include them in the cabinet.
Due to that, Dr CJ Chavda and Arjun Modhwadia will be set in the cabinet, said sources.
In addition, there has been confusion in the party high command over the name of the state president of the BJP, with no decision in sight.
With the cabinet expansion, important portfolios of the state government will be redistributed, in which the additional charges of the ministers will be reduced and the work will be assigned to other ministers.
The state government cannot expand the cabinet while the Gujarat assembly session is currently underway, but sources have given information that this cabinet expansion will take place after the March 27, around April 7.
In the new cabinet, the party can also assign responsibility to a young leader who had previously left the Congress to join the BJP, for added youth representation in the cabinet.
