Two big faces of BJP in Himachal Pradesh can get a place in Modi cabinet. These include BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda and Anurag Thakur, the fifth consecutive MP from Hamirpur. JP Nadda's becoming a minister is almost certain. But everyone's eyes are fixed on how many ministerial posts Prime Minister Modi will take oath today.
Sources say that only four to six bigwigs of BJP can be made ministers today. The same number of leaders from alliance partners can be made ministers. Other senior BJP leaders may have to wait for the ministerial post. In such a situation, Himachal is likely to get only one ministerial post in the first phase. If Himachal gets a ministerial post today, then JP Nadda is likely to be crowned first. Sources say that Anurag Thakur can be given a big responsibility of the organization. He can also be made the national general secretary. But these are just speculations right now. Nothing has been decided officially. The final decision has to be taken by Prime Minister Modi in consultation with the alliance partners. This time Prime Minister Modi will also have to take care of the alliance partners. Therefore, some BJP leaders will be crowned in the first phase.
JP Nadda is currently a Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat. He is originally from Himachal Pradesh. In such a situation, by making Nadda a minister, Modi can try to unite the two states. Himachal It is a small state. There are only 4 Lok Sabha seats here. Due to this, the possibility of Himachal getting two ministerial posts is less. But the possibility cannot be ruled out that Nadda from Gujarat quota and Anurag Thakur from Himachal quota can be made ministers. If this happens, then two leaders from Devbhoomi Himachal will be ministers in the Modi cabinet. But this will not happen today. This can happen during the second phase of cabinet expansion. JP Nadda has been the Health Minister in the first term of the Modi government. In the second term, Anurag Thakur was also given the important Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting along with the Sports Department. Now who is made a minister from Himachal Pradesh in the third term and which ministry he gets, its decision can be taken today.
