Expressing his satisfaction with the meeting, PM Modi took to Twitter, stating, "A fruitful meeting with the Council of Ministers, where we exchanged views on diverse policy-related issues."

The gathering has sparked speculation about a potential Cabinet reshuffle, given the series of high-level meetings within the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The period before the Monsoon Session of Parliament, scheduled to commence on July 20, is seen as the final window for any potential reshuffle, intensifying the buzz surrounding the matter.

Notably, Prime Minister Modi had convened a crucial meeting on June 28, engaging prominent leaders such as Amit Shah and JP Nadda, among others, to meticulously assess the state of the party's organization and political affairs.
