New Delhi:  The Cabinet will be reshuffled tomorrow evening - sources at Rashtrapati Bhawan say the President and her team have been alerted to the swearing-in.  The actual reshuffle will be less dramatic than anticipated, suggest sources in the government.

This morning, Dr Manmohan Singh met with UPA President Sonia Gandhi at his home where they reportedly finalised his new list of ministers.

Sources say on the menu for tomorrow is the swearing-in of three cabinet ministers, four ministers of State with Independent Charge, and six Ministers of State.

Beni Prasad Verma, currently Minister of State for Steel, is expected to be elevated to Cabinet rank. And E Ahamed of the Indian Union Muslim League is likely to be made a Minister of State with Independent Charge. He is currently a minister of state for external affairs. 

 
Film actor Raj Babbar, who did the Congress proud by winning the high-profile Firozabad seat in a 2009 by-election defeating Dimple Yadav, the wife of Akhilesh Yadav and daughter-in-law of Mulayam Singh Yadav, is likely to become a minister. This is Babbar's first Lok Sabha term as a Congressman. He was earlier a member of Mulayam's Samajwadi Party.

PTI / The Hindu / CHENNAI, July 9, 2011.

Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and DMK chief M. Karunanidhi during a meeting in Chennai on Saturday - Special Arrangement.

The DMK, the alliance partner of the Congress in the UPA ministry, is said to be reluctant to send any replacements to the Union Cabinet in the proposed reshuffle.

Sources said party chief M. Karunanidhi conveyed this much to Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee when he met him here on Saturday. Mr Mukherjee is understood to have offered berths for DMK representatives in the vacancies caused by the resignation of Dayanidhi Maran, who held the textile portfolio and former telecom minister A Raja, both in the wake of their name figuring in the 2G scam.

The DMK is understood to have told Mr.Mukherjee that the party will take a decision on the issue at a 2-day meeting of its General Council in Coimbatore on July 23 and 24.

The meeting of the party’s highest-policy making body is expected to consider the political situation in the aftermath of the defeat in the assembly elections, including the relations with Congress.

Sources said the party was not too keen on sending its replacements in the Cabinet in the present juncture in which the party is placed.

In the meanwhile, sources from Delhi say that the long awaited UPA-II Reshuffle will take place on Monday and that all major portfolios will not be disturbed but those who hold more than one portfolio will be relieved of one ministry and the same will be handed over to a new face.

Amid talk of the looming expansion-cum-reshuffle of the Manmohan Singh-led UPA-2 government, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav met Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday, leading to some speculation on a possible realignment of forces within the ruling coalition.

Sources claimed that Mrs Gandhi and Mr Lalu Yadav had discussed the possibility of the RJD entering the government, in a move by the UPA to create a buffer in the ruling coalition given the current strained relationship between the Congress and the DMK.

Interestingly, the Congress is also already engaged in talks with Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh, who has five Lok Sabha MPs, for a possible tie-up ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections next year.

Union Textile Minister Dayanidhi Maran at his office at Udyog Bhavan in New Delhi - PTI.

With the decks being cleared for the proposed reshuffle of the Union council of ministers, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi have begun appraisals of ministers and started meeting them individually.

Former home minister Shivraj Patil, who was dropped after the 26/11 terrorist attack on Mumbai in November 2008, could possibly make a comeback in the Cabinet, it is learnt.

Speculation is rife that the Prime Minister could drop some ministers from Maharashtra and Mr Patil, who is now governor of Punjab, could possibly replace one of them.

Indian politicians who are accused of some or other misconduct wouldn't resign, honourably, and wait to be sacked!
