The reshuffle of Union Cabinet, expected to take place on Wednesday, is likely to lead to some crucial changes to Yogi Adityanath cabinet in Uttar Pradesh, Hindustan Times' sister publication Live Hindustan reported. After the demise of Chetan Chauhan, Kamal Rani Varun and Vijay Kashyap, there are six vacancies in the state cabinet. Anupriya Patel, the chief of BJP ally Apna Dal, is widely tipped to be accommodated in the Union Cabinet. If that doesn't happen, her husband Ashish Patel could find a place in Yogi cabinet, reported Live Hindustan. The Wednesday's expansion of Union Cabinet will be the first one by PM Modi since taking office in second term in 2019.
