There are speculations that a major reshuffle of BJP's office bearers in the central office and UP may take place in view of huge vacancies. The question is whether it may be timed with a major Cabinet reshuffle since the Cabinet itself has come to face the shortage of hands and brains following the departure of men like Manohar Parrikar, Sarbananda Sonowal, and others. In the central organization and the Cabinet, vacancies were created after BJP's recent assembly victories in UP and elsewhere. Forming the government in UP has created several vacancies in the central unit. Yogi's appointment as UP chief minister has necessitated two by-elections - his parliamentary seat and one in UP to make him a member of the state assembly. Three national secretaries - Srikant Sharma, Siddharth Nath Singh and Mahendra Singh - won in UP and moved as ministers in the Yogi cabinet. National vice-president Dinesh Sharma has taken over as deputy chief minister and another vice-president, Trivendra Singh Rawat, has been made Uttarakhand CM and they will have to be replaced. As vice-presidents, Rawat and Sharma were in-charge of Jharkhand and Gujarat respectively, which will now have to be handed over to other leaders. The other deputy CM in UP, Keshav Prasad Maurya, will have to quit as chief of the state BJP unit and make way for a new party president in UP. With half a dozen names floating around for the post, the state unit will hold its executive in Lucknow from May 2, which party chief Amit Shah is slated to attend. While the timing of the reshuffle is unclear, party insiders are of the view that it could either take place within a couple of weeks or get linked to the changes the PM makes in his cabinet, which would mean it might have to wait till the presidential elections in July.
