Modi's new Cabinet to be more diverse; India's 'youngest ever'
This will be the first Cabinet expansion in Narendra Modi's second term as PM.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to reshuffle his Union Cabinet on Wednesday evening. Reportedly, the expanded Cabinet will be more diverse, with more representation from women and Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe (SC/ST) communities. It has been reported that the Cabinet will also be the youngest ever in the history of India. This is notably the first Cabinet expansion in Modi's second term as PM.

Details
New Cabinet to be announced at 6 pm on Wednesday

The existing Cabinet will meet at 11 am on Wednesday to discuss the expansion. A final announcement is expected at 6 pm. The Cabinet rejig may see as many as 20 new ministers, sources told India Today. Some ministers may also lose their posts, they said. States scheduled to go to poll next year and the 2024 general elections will likely impact the decision.

Members
Who will be on the new Cabinet?

Six BJP leaders will reportedly be sworn in as Cabinet ministers with Jyotiraditya Scindia, Narayan Rane, Sarbananda Sonowal as frontrunners. The BJP's ally, Janata Dal (United), is also expected to be represented in the Cabinet. Reportedly, Apna Dal and the faction of the Lok Janshakti Party led by Pashupati Paras (which ousted Chirag Paswan as party chief) may also get representation in the Cabinet.

Diversity
Cabinet to include underprivileged communities, minorities, more educated members

The representation of women along with underprivileged and tribal communities will be increased, sources told CNN-News18. About 24 ministers will be from the Other Backward Classes (OBC). The Cabinet will see a record representation of SC communities, while the average education of members will be higher. The average age of leaders will reportedly be reduced, making it the youngest-ever Cabinet in India's history.
