Nitin Nabin is set to announce his cabinet lineup today, with reports indicating that ministers Anurag Thakur and Smriti Irani may rejoin the government after a seven‑month hiatus.
Nitin Nabin, the newly appointed head of the government, is scheduled to unveil his cabinet today. Sources suggest that the announcement will include the reinstatement of key ministers, notably Anurag Thakur and Smriti Irani, who have been absent from the cabinet for the past seven months.
The move is seen as a strategic effort to consolidate the administration’s leadership and strengthen its policy agenda. Both Thakur and Irani have previously held significant portfolios, and their return is expected to bolster the government's legislative agenda.
Observers note that the timing of the announcement aligns with the upcoming parliamentary sessions, where the new cabinet will need to secure support for its initiatives. The government has not yet released a formal list of appointments, but the inclusion of Thakur and Irani is widely anticipated.
