Cabinet Reshuffle Likely, as Irani and Tomar Take On Extra Charges

The reshuffle is likely to take place between 12 and 15 of August.

A Cabinet reshuffle is likely on cards, now that Smriti Irani and Narendra Tomar have taken additional charge of BJP vice presidential candidate Venkaiah Naidu’s portfolios. With Irani and Tomar’s takeover, the count of union ministers handling additional charges now stands at four.

Irani has been given the additional charge of Information and Broadcast ministry, while Tomar has been given additional charge of Ministry of Urban Development after Naidu resigned from his ministerial responsibilities.
