[h=1]PM Modi's Cabinet Reshuffle Tomorrow: UP To Gain, Here's Who's In[/h]NEW DELHI:

In Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first major cabinet reshuffle tomorrow, expect a new Sports Minister - Sarbananda Sonowal from the PM's party created that vacancy when he moved to Assam as Chief Minister of the BJP's first northeastern government.

Also likely, say sources, is a new Minister for Information and Broadcasting - Arun Jaitley could be relieved of the portfolio so that he can focus completely on the Finance Ministry.

The Council of Ministers has 66 members including the PM; constitutionally, the most it can have is 82.

No changes are expected to the Big 4 ministries - Defence, Finance, Home and Foreign Affairs.

Those who are likely to join the government tomorrow met through the day with BJP chief Amit Shah. In the evening, Mr Shah visited the office of his party's ideological mentor - the RSS or Rashtryia Swayamsewak Sangh - to seek its endorsement of the new list.

It appears that the pre-submission of list to RSS, is not for their mere endorsement but for according approval / sanction.
