Prime Minister Narendra Modi may reshuffle his council of ministers on August 3 morning, the third time since he took office with a massive mandate in May 2014. Rumors of a probable reshuffle started doing the rounds following a series of reported meetings of BJP president Amit Shah with a host of cabinet ministers and party leaders from last Thursday.
