India's Modi Government Considers Cabinet Reshuffle

Speculation is intensifying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may reorganise his cabinet in September or October. Sources say up to six ministers could be removed while nine new faces might be added, though no official announcement has been made.

The debate comes as the government prioritises key legislation in the monsoon session, notably the deregulation bill and the "One Nation, One Election" proposal. Officials note the ruling party lacks a two‑thirds majority in both houses, and the prime minister’s and President Droupadi Murmu’s busy schedules are delaying any reshuffle. Analysts link the potential changes to performance reviews, regional balance and upcoming electoral strategies.
