Reportedly there may be cabinet expansion in Uttar Pradesh soon, after the meeting of chief minister Yogi

Adityanath with governor Anandiben patel on Tuesday, discussions regarding this have intensified in

political circles. There may be an expansion of the cabinet before the diwali festival on november 10 at

Raj Bhavan in which four to five ministers can take oath. This will be the first cabinet expansion in the

second term of yogi government. At present there are a total of 52 ministers in UP including cm Yogi,

their number will increase further after the cabinet expansion. In such a situation, the question arises that

how many ministers can there be in a state or centre. In fact, only a limited number of ministers can be

made in both the Center and the State. This number is decided on the basis of the number of assembly seats

in the state.

Formula for number of ministers in the state

According to constitutional rules, 15 percent of the total lok sabha members can be made ministers at the

Centre. Similarly, there is a system in the states also. In the state also, 15 percent of the total assembly seats

can be included in the cabinet.

There are currently 52 ministers including cm yogi in UP, there are a total of 403 assembly seats and one

member is nominated by the Governor. In this way the total number of MLAs becomes 404. Whose 15


percent comes to 60.6. This means that a total of 60-61 ministers can be made in UP, that is, 7-8 ministers

can still be increased in the state. If sources are to be believed, in the cabinet expansion to be held at Raj

Bhavan on november 10, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj party President Om Prakash Rajbhar and two other

leaders including former minister Dara Singh Chauhan, who left SP and joined BJP, can be made ministers.

Cabinet expansion is also being linked to the upcoming lok sabha elections. Through which preparations

are being made to solve the caste and regional equations of the state.
