Instead of going into names of Ministers, their castes and regional
backgrounds, it might be better to have a general over-view of the
positives of Cabinet expansion and the limitations that Narendra Modi
faced. Barely 5 months have passed and Prime Minister Modi had to go in
for a major re-shuffle of his cabinet. There is nothing wrong for a
Prime minister in a parliamentary system of government to re-shuffle or
expand his cabinet. It is obvious that in the last 5 months some
weaknesses have become obvious in the functioning of the government. The
existing cabinet was in-adequate both in numbers and quality to deal
with the problems.
