Jaipur: Political activity is in full swing in Rajasthan. Along with changing the state president, BJP has also appointed new in-charge and co-in-charge. Now there is a buzz that Bhajanlal government may soon expand its cabinet. There are speculations of big changes in it. Actually, after the changes at the organisational level in BJP, now there are speculations of changes in the Rajasthan government as well. There is a buzz that the cabinet may soon be expanded.
Sources say that these changes can be seen after the assembly session ends. It is worth noting that on July 25, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah in Delhi. Only after this, BJP announced the new state president of its party in Rajasthan.
Why the discussion about cabinet expansion?
The discussion of cabinet expansion is also in full swing because recently Bhajanlal government’s Agriculture Minister Kirori Lal Meena resigned from his post. He had important departments like Agriculture, Rural Development, Disaster Management. However, his resignation has not been accepted yet nor has his department been given to anyone else. It is believed that an attempt can be made to persuade Meena by giving him some other ministry.
In fact, Kirori Lal Meena is said to be angry for not getting the Panchayati Raj Ministry. Traditionally, the Agriculture Minister has been given the responsibility of Panchayati Raj, but this time both the departments have been given to different ministers. In such a situation, a reshuffle in the distribution of ministries is considered certain.
An attempt to balance caste equations before by-elections?
Assembly by-elections are to be held soon in Rajasthan. In such a situation, it is believed that there may be an attempt to balance the caste equations through cabinet expansion. At present, there are 24 ministers including the Chief Minister. It is believed that this number can go up to 30 to satisfy all sections. However, the final decision will be taken by the party high command.
Let us tell you, BJP has appointed Madan Rathod as the state president in place of Chandra Prakash Joshi (CP Joshi) in Rajasthan. At the same time, the party has appointed Dr. Radha Mohan Das Aggarwal as the state in-charge and Vijaya Rahatkar as co-in-charge.
