Tarun Chugh is set to become a Cabinet Minister It is almost certain that Tarun Chugh, BJP’s National General Secretary, who recently became an unopposed Rajya Sabha MP from MP, will be made a Cabinet Minister in the Union Cabinet. Considering the upcoming assembly elections in Punjab, Tarun Chugh may be included in the government and entrusted with the command of election strategy and campaign. Ravneet Singh Bittu, currently the sole minister from Punjab in the Modi cabinet, might be fielded in the assembly elections. Virendra may get a new responsibility Sandhya Rai, with her female and Dalit identity, fits into BJP’s women’s politics. This time, among the faces likely to be dropped from the cabinet, a new Dalit face might be given a chance in place of Dr. Virendra Kumar Khatik, MP from Tikamgarh and Union Minister for Social Justice. Dr. Virendra Kumar Khatik might be given a role in the BJP organisation or another capacity. Virendra Kumar is an MP for the eighth consecutive time. VD Sharma may be included in Modi’s cabinet VD Sharma, MP from Khajuraho and former state president of BJP, may get a place in the Modi cabinet. After working for a long time in the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, and then becoming the state general secretary and state president in BJP, there is deliberation on giving him a big responsibility at the central level. Two discussions regarding VD There are two types of discussions regarding VD’s new role. First – he can be made the national general secretary in Nitin Naveen’s team or given the responsibility of Minister of State in the Union Cabinet. VD Sharma is a two-time MP from Khajuraho. Ganesh Singh fits the Kurmi factor Considering the UP assembly elections, if a change is made at the center, Satna MP Ganesh Singh can be given a place in the cabinet. In the Vindhya region of MP, the Kurmi and Patel community voters are decisive. Ganesh Singh is a Member of Parliament from Satna for the fifth consecutive time. He has been continuously elected as an MP since 2004. If he does not get a place in the cabinet, he can be adjusted in the BJP organisation. If tribal faces are changed, Himadri, Gajendra may get a chance If the role of MP ministers in the Modi cabinet is changed, Shahdol MP Himadri Singh may get a place in the cabinet instead of the current Minister of State for Women and Child Development, Savitri Thakur. Himadri’s family has had a great influence in the Vindhya and tribal regions. Himadri’s father, Dalveer Singh, has been a Congress MP and Union Minister. His mother, Rajesh Nandini Singh, has also been a Congress MP twice. On the other hand, if a new tribal face is given a chance instead of Durgadas Uikey, then Khargone MP Gajendra Singh Patel can be made a Minister of State. Gajendra is a two-time MP and has been working in the BJP organization for a long time. Big reshuffle in July The term of Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel is ending on July 7.
