New Delhi: A cabinet reshuffle to fill vacancies in the Union council of ministers could take place by June 15 as consultations were on among the top leaders of the party, Congress sources said.
The sources said some ministers were likely to be relieved of their dual charges.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had indicated on Friday that a cabinet reshuffle was being contemplated.
While returning from his Japan and Thailand visit, the Prime Minister had told media persons that a "cabinet expansion is being considered".
"The party does not have to do fire-fighting for now. The leadership is paying attention to pending issues, including the Food Security Bill and Telangana. There is a possibility that a cabinet expansion and reshuffle would take place before June 15 after discussions are completed," a party leader told IANS.
He said the proposed reshuffle was likely to be the last one before the Lok Sabha polls next year and that some ministers may be drafted for party work.
