Speculation is increasing about a possible reshuffle in India’s Union Council of Ministers under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with multiple reports citing internal deliberations within the ruling BJP and indications from senior party figures. Sources say any reshuffle, if it happens, could be timed with wider BJP organisational changes, including the announcement of a new party team under BJP president Nitin Nabin. One account suggests that the reshuffle could be carried out sometime in July, ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, while another reports that it may occur anytime from now and possibly before the session begins. At the same time, NDTV reports that a cabinet expansion is unlikely before the Monsoon Session and instead may take place in September–October. Reports also mention that the BJP top leadership has finalized or is nearing finalizing a list for the new organisational team and that consultations have been held with some Union ministers of state. Some sources further indicate that ministers could move to BJP organisational roles and that party office-bearers could be inducted into the Modi ministry, alongside possible portfolio changes for certain ministers.

Sources aware of the deliberations said the reshuffle in the Union Council of Ministers will be carried out in tandem with the announcement of a new BJP team under its president Nitin Nabin.
