New Delhi, May 15:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to chair a crucial meeting of the Union Council of Ministers on May 21, sparking strong speculation about a possible cabinet reshuffle.
According to reports, the meeting is expected to serve as a mid-term performance review of various ministries, with a focus on assessing progress, governance delivery and future priorities.
The high-level meeting comes at a politically significant moment, with sources indicating that a cabinet reshuffle could follow in the coming weeks, possibly in June.
Such an exercise would aim to recalibrate the government’s strategy ahead of upcoming electoral challenges and policy goals.
Officials are expected to present updates on key schemes and departmental performance, making it a stocktaking exercise for the Modi 3.0 government. The meeting may also help identify underperforming sectors and ministers, often a precursor to portfolio changes.
