India's President Murmu meets Amit Shah as cabinet reshuffle rumors grow

President Droupadi Murmu met Home Minister Amit Shah at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on 26 June 2026, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a similar discussion with the minister. The meetings have fueled speculation that the central government may expand the Union Cabinet and make changes to the Home Ministry. Recent appointments, including new faces in the Railways and Finance ministries, have added to expectations that senior leaders could be reassigned to party posts in their home states.

Analysts note that the succession of high‑level talks between the President, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister suggests a possible fast‑track reshuffle of senior ministerial positions.
