Possibility of Cabinet Reshuffle After Malmas Ends

With the end of Malmas, political activity has intensified, particularly following Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's visit to Delhi. During this trip, he met several central ministers, which has led to speculation in political circles about cabinet expansion and political appointments. While officially it was described as a courtesy meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah for a government program, experts believe that it was part of addressing the state's needs and financial requirements.

After one year of Bhajanlal's government in Rajasthan, there had been discussions about cabinet expansion and political appointments, but due to Malmas, these plans were delayed. Following his Delhi visit, hopes for these changes have resurfaced. Chief Minister Sharma met with Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Energy Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, and Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. These meetings focused on Rajasthan’s development projects, financial issues, and the energy sector, but are also being linked to potential cabinet expansion.

Political analysts suggest that BJP had previously pacified leaders vying for Lok Sabha tickets by offering political appointments before the elections, but since then, no appointments have been made. Therefore, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's visit to Delhi is being seen as significant. Although no official statement has been made, it is believed that after the assembly session, cabinet reshuffles and political appointments in Rajasthan will proceed.

The Chief Minister's priorities include the assembly session, the Governor's speech, and the upcoming budget, but all eyes are on whether the cabinet reshuffle and political appointments will be finalized after Malmas ends.
