CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal / Raipur : In a recent development, the government has announced plans to remove one minister from the cabinet to comply with the constitutional limit on the number of ministers. This move comes after consultations with the Leader of Opposition (LOP) and legal advisors who stressed adherence to the constitutional provisions.
According to the Constitution of India, the number of ministers in the Union Council of Ministers cannot exceed 15% of the total strength of the Lok Sabha. With the current cabinet exceeding this limit, the government is taking steps to streamline the ministerial roster and maintain constitutional compliance.
Sources close to the matter stated that the process of identifying the minister for removal is underway, and the decision will be finalized soon. The move is expected to be carried out smoothly, with the government ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing projects and administration.
Political analysts suggest that this step reflects the administration’s commitment to constitutional norms and responsible governance. It also highlights the crucial role of the LOP in maintaining checks and balances in the parliamentary system.
The cabinet reshuffle, while minor in scale, is significant in reinforcing the rule of law and institutional accountability. The government emphasized that this adjustment does not affect the functioning or priorities of the ministry but is purely a measure to adhere to the constitutional framework.
The final decision on which minister will be dropped is awaited and is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
