The Modi ministry is set for a major recast — its third in as many years — on Sunday with a slew of elevations and nine inductions with GenNext leaders Piyush Goyal, Dharmendra Pradhan, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Nirmala Sitharaman tipped to get full Cabinet status and others such as Rajyavardhan Rathore and Jitendra Singh expected to get meatier assignments.
The inductions will include former foreign service officer Hardeep Puri and former IAS officer K J Alphons, a former DDA commissioner. Both are not currently MPs.
Others are Uttara Kannada MP Anantkumar Hegde, who has a strongman image, former home secretary and Arrah MP R K Singh, Jodhpur MP Gajendra Singh, former Mumbai police commissioner and Baghpat MP Satya Pal Singh, Rajya Sabha MP from UP Shiv Pratap Shukla, Buxar MP Ashwini Chaubey and Tikamgarh MP Virendra Kumar.
