JDU leader RCP Singh will be the cabinet minister.
There will be an oath-taking ceremony for the new ministers joining the cabinet at 6 pm. 19 new faces can be included in the cabinet expansion of Modi government. With this, the number of council of ministers will increase from 53 to 72. The stature of some ministers can also be increased in the cabinet reshuffle. Among them, the prominent name of Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri is also going on.
Meanwhile, LJP leader Pashupati Kumar Paras has also reached PM Narendra Modi’s residence. It is believed that he can get a place in the cabinet. If this happens, it will be a setback for Chirag Paswan, who has even appealed to the BJP for help to stop the split in the LJP. Actually, the Modi cabinet currently includes 53 ministers, while it can have a maximum of 81 ministers. If seen in this way, 28 more ministers are likely to be made in PM Modi’s cabinet.
