Amit Shah cancels TN visit for now, cabinet reshuffle likely this week

AIADMK, JD(U) likely to get berths; allies like Shiv Sena and TDP could get more representation

In the run up to that reshuffle, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah had met ministers who were to be dropped, elevated or their portfolios changed. Today, Shah met union ministers Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Upendra Kushwaha and Chaudhary Birender Singh. July 5, 2016 was the last occasion the Narendra Modi-led union council of ministers was reshuffled and expanded. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah also held a meeting with chief ministers and deputy CMs of BJP ruled states. To add to the anticipation of a cabinet reshuffle later this week, Shah postponed his scheduled three-day visit to Tamil Nadu.
