Why did the Cabinet reshuffle happen?
The latest union cabinet expansion and cabinet reshuffle was necessitated by the vacancies caused due to death of Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan and exit of few alliance partners including Shiv Sena and Akali Dal. The upcoming state elections may also have a role in the latest cabinet reshuffle.
