Is cabinet reshuffle on cards? Jaitley, 7 Union ministers meet Amit Shah

Ministers NS Tomar, N Sitharaman, J Singh, PP Chaudhary are at Amit Shah's residence.

New Delhi: Around eight Union Ministers reached at BJP national president Amit Shah's residence in Delhi on Thursday.

According to ANI, BJP election incharge of Gujarat Arun Jaitley and co-incharges NS Tomar, N Sitharaman, J Singh, PP Chaudhary held meeting with Amit Shah.

Finance minister Arun Jaitley earlier on Thursday hinted that he would not be serving the post of Defence Minister for long.

Jaitley was given additional charge of the Defence Ministry when Manohar Parrikar became the Chief Minister of Goa in March, 2017.

Responding to a poser on his tenure as the defence minister, Jaitley said, "At least I hope not very long. That's anyway not me to decide."

A reshuffle in the cabinet has been due for months now. Two key ministries opened up after M Venkaiah Naidu was named Vice President. The Environment ministry was reassigned as additional charge after the death of minister Anil Dave.
