Raipur: After the recently conducted Lok Sabha elections, Chhattisgarh is witnessing discussions related to the probable cabinet expansion. Amidst all this speculation, Chhattisgarh CM Vishnudeo Sai was heading to Delhi on a very important tour. His itinerary for engagements includes meetings with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and the Home Minister Amit Shah, who are part of his programs in the capital. This visit has created political consciousness in this state.
Besides political outcomes, it is pertinent to mention that recently, Brijmohan Agrawal, who is a senior BJP leader, member of the state assembly, and minister, resigned from his membership as well as ministerial position. The BJP had set Agrawal as a candidate in the Raipur Lok Sabha constituency, and Agrawal registered a tremendous victory with a record majority. His resignation has compelled several political moves and shuffles in politics, which especially intensified with the scheduled meetings of CM Sai in Delhi.
The next day, Saturday, immediately after Agrawal’s resignation, CM Sai decided to pay a surprise visit to the Governor. This rather surprising move has led to speculations of a cabinet reshuffle in Chhattisgarh as the new move seems more closely aligned with the Sa. The current happening of the resignation of such senior leaders like Agrawal And probable reshuffle means that BJP was preparing for certain significant changes in its political setting in states.
Through this, Agrawal has been shifted from the state assembly and has been sent to the Lok Sabha as the new BJP strategy to help the party open up new dimensions in national politics and equally, to give opportunities to aspiring politicians for the state cabinet. These machinations are also generally reminiscent of the BJP’s incrementalism and its efforts at attaining greater centralization of authority for the party in the lead-up to future political competition.
Some of the new faces included in the cabinet list are already making headlines grabbing the attention of the public and political analysts. The proposed speculations may result in new talents being brought into the equation and could also coincide with drastic changes in policies in the state administration.
