A dozen of the current 17 ministers are likely to be sacked: After the monsoon session, there may be a big upheaval, young MLAs of Saurashtra-North Gujarat will get ministerial berths

After the three-day monsoon session of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly from tomorrow, there is a possibility of a major upheaval in the government. There is a possibility that the same decision taken by the BJP high command in 2021 may be taken to some extent. This time, the Chief Minister and 3-4 ministers with a good impression will not change, but there is an atmosphere that more than a dozen ministers will be brought home. In today's Sunday Big Story, know who can be dropped if the cabinet is expanded. After the 2022 elections, Bhupendra Patel was made the Chief Minister again. Along with him, 16 other ministers were also inducted into the cabinet. In addition to the Chief Minister, 8 ministers of cabinet level and 8 ministers of state are included. Not a single change has been made in the cabinet for three years. On the other hand, after preparing for the 2027 elections, the BJP high command has also started preparations for the expansion of the cabinet. According to the discussions in the Secretariat, the cabinet expansion will take place in the days after the monsoon session of the assembly, which will be held for three days from September 8 to 10. The biggest setback is that as many as a dozen ministers may be dropped from the current cabinet. These include four to five cabinet ministers and five to six ministers of state. Political experts point out that most of the ministers in the present government have failed to live up to the expectations set by the BJP high command. Most of the leaders, including the chief minister and the BJP's state president, had landed in Visavadar to defeat AAP's Gopal Italia in the recently held Visavadar assembly by-election. However, he could not win the Visavadar seat. The effect of which will also be seen in the expansion. Which minister is likely to be sacked? The total number of ministers, including the chief minister, in the current cabinet is 17. According to the rules, a total of 26 ministers can be accommodated. Political pundits believe that the ministers who are likely to be dropped from the current cabinet include five cabinet ministers and five to six ministers of state. Finance Minister Kanubhai Desai, Agriculture Minister Raghavji Patel, Water Supply Minister Kunvarji Bavaliya, Education Minister Kubar Dindor and Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Bhanuben Babaria are among those who attended the meeting. Fisheries and Animal Husbandry Minister Parshottam Solanki, Panchayat Minister Bachubhai Khabad, Forest and Environment Minister Mukesh Patel, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Bhikhusinh Parmar and Tribal Development Minister Kunvarji Halpati are among the ministers of state who are likely to be dropped. Right now, everyone's eyes are on Minister Bachu Khabad. Both of Khabad's sons were arrested following allegations of corruption. After which Bachu Khabad does not attend government programs and cabinet meetings. There is a possibility that he will not attend the session, any other minister will respond on his behalf. Which new faces will find a place? Senior BJP leaders, in private and on condition of anonymity, say that it is not only difficult but impossible to say this. Only Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah will decide who to drop and replace from the cabinet. However, it can be assumed that the decision will be taken keeping in mind the 2027 elections as well as the equation of caste, caste and region. Accordingly, a leader with a good and good image and visionary face will be given a chance. A leader who has complete dominance over his caste as well as his area, who has a good and clean image in the society, will be selected first for the post of minister. Such leaders may include Jayesh Radadiya, Hira Solanki, Mahesh Kaswala, Kaushik Vekaria, Sandeep Desai, Sangeeta Patil and Arjun Modhwadia. At the same time, current Speaker Shankar Chaudhary can also be given a place in the Cabinet by resigning from the speaker's post. Alpesh Thakor, Hardik Patel and C.J. Chavda, who are from the Congress, are unlikely. New faces from North Gujarat and Saurashtra are likely to get more chances. Who is the most powerful of the current ministers? The question of who is the most powerful minister among the current ministers is also being asked. The names of a total of 4 ministers are being discussed in it. The performance of these ministers also seems to be very good and transparent. Among such ministers are Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, ministers of state Jagdish Panchal and Harsh Sanghvi. Apart from this, Minister of State Praful Panseria is also working without any controversy. Health Minister Rishikesh Patel, who is ranked third in the cabinet, is doing relatively well. In the past, Rishikesh Patel has said that if you remove it, you will remove it...... All eyes are on whether his words hurt or not. Harsh Sanghvi and Jagdish Panchal to get promotions Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghvi, who is considered to be the most active in the government, and Minister of State for Industries Jagdish Panchal are also likely to be promoted. Because despite these two ministers having state-level portfolios, both have done a very important job, facing the challenges that have come. There was no debate of any kind. Both are young and are also special confidants of Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah. Both can be taken from the state level to the cabinet level. Apart from this, if Jagdish Panchal does not get a place in the cabinet, then he can also get independent charge of home. However, there are chances of meeting any other new and young face in charge of the home. Visavadar elections have decided the future of several leaders The by-election to Visavadar was crucial for the political future of several BJP MLAs and ministers. This election has decided the future of many leaders. Which will be reflected in the expansion. Based on the cabinet expansion to be held in September, it will be known how adversely the BJP lost the Visavadar seat, which leader or MLA or minister was adversely affected, who gained how much and who suffered how much. Will some old jogis be brought back for damage control? Ahead of the 2027 Gujarat Assembly elections, Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has made the BJP worried by winning the Visavadar seat. So the BJP also does not want to take any risk now. Leaders who are considered powerful in the BJP but have been sidelined for some reason for some reason for a long time will now be given a new responsibility by giving big posts. Some old jogis may also get a chance again to prevent further damage. Most secretaries also do not perform tasks other than routine Since the new ones are going to be old, the secretaries of most of the departments do not do any work other than routine work and all the files are also stuck. Now that changes in the cabinet as well as in the structure of the region have been confirmed, senior and junior IAS officers serving in different departments of the secretariat have also calmed down. They also focus only on routine operations. Apart from this, they are avoiding taking up or implementing any major projects or new subjects. In 2021, the entire cabinet, including the chief minister, was changed. Four years ago, the BJP high command had surprised everyone by changing the entire cabinet, including the then Chief Minister Vijay Rupani. Vijay Rupani reached Raj Bhavan to resign in the entire sequence of events created in such a way that no one could even guess. After his resignation, Bhupendra Patel became the Chief Minister. Under his leadership, the BJP won a historic 156 seats in the 2022 elections.
