Union Cabinet Reshuffle Shows Narendra Modi Supports BS Yediyurappa And Yogi Adityanath | Politics

Описание: A total of 43 ministers, including 36 new faces and 7 ministers who got promoted, have taken oath as the Union Council of Ministers in the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union Cabinet today. The cabinet reshuffle, first since PM Modi’s re-election in 2019, saw a mix of youth and experienced candidates, the youngest of them aged 35.

Wednesday’s mega reshuffle is a message signalling full support to regional leaders like Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh and B S Yediyurappa in Karnataka, who have faced challenges but have earned the backing of the BJP brass.

The recast of the council of ministers has seen Uttar Pradesh end up with 15 members, with inclusions keeping in mind the upcoming assembly polls in the state which is crucial to BJP’s fortunes and will be seen as a bellwether result ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha poll. While Kurmis have been duly represented, a reshuffle of the Yogi ministry is also expected and some of the regional parties like the Nishad outfit and leaders from Rajbhar community are likely to bag berths. The ouster of Santosh Gangwar, who was junior minister with independent charge for labour, is a clear indication .

Similarly in Karnataka, the entry and elevation of Shobha Karandlaje and the exit of senior party leader Sadanand Gowda is yet another message that the party is in no mood to replace Yediyurappa as its face in the state. Seen as an effective and fiesty leader, her selection is a snub to the campaign to unsettle Yediyurappa. This has not been entertained by the party high command and dissenters were told that the performance of the state government has been satisfactory. Obviously their misgivings over the role of the CM’s son Vijayendra have not cut ice.
