CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan can expand the cabinet just before the upcoming assembly and Lok Sabha elections to be held in Madhya Pradesh. It is believed that Shivraj wants to cultivate caste and regional balance in the state through this extension. Let us know who are those MLAs who can be made ministers in the Shivraj government.

Gauri Shankar Bisen: Bisen has been MLA for 7 times and MP for 2 times from Balaghat. He was also a minister in the 2013 Shivraj government. Gauri Shankar Bisen can be given the post of minister in the Shivraj government to represent Mahakaushal region and OBC class.

Rahul Singh Lodhi: Uma Bharti's nephew Rahul Lodhi is a first time MLA. Lodhi can also be given the post of minister in the Shivraj government to help Lodhi voters, Uma Bharti and her supporters and to represent Bundelkhand.

Jalam Singh Patel: Another name from the Lodhi community is Jalam Singh Patel, brother of Union minister Prahlad Patel. The name can also come forward to help the tribal class.

Why the expansion?
Amit Shah's four visits to the state is the major reason for cabinet expansion in the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government 3 months before the elections. According to the report, Shah had instructed veteran BJP leaders to give place in the cabinet on the basis of their caste and regional balance. Let us inform that there are a total of 35 seats in the MP cabinet. Of these, 30 are ministers and 1 is CM Shivraj himself. There, 4 ministerial posts are vacant.
