A final Union Cabinet reshuffle is likely this week before the 2019 general assembly elections and sources have told TIMES NOW that members from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Janata Dal (United) or JD(U) may be selected.
There is also a possibility that five ministers of states (MoS) – Nirmala Sitharaman, Piyush Goyal, Dharmendra Pradhan and Jitendra Singh – might be promoted. Already, two key ministries- defence and environment- are without a full-time minister. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Science and Technology Minister Harsh Vardhan are holding the additional charge of these two portfolios respectively.
