"It had no link with the expansion of our cabinet," said Union Minister Prakash Javadekar. Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Friday a cabinet reshuffle was not on the agenda
of a meeting of ministers chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday. "It had no link with the expansion of our cabinet. This (meeting) has been done before also,"
Javadekar said while rubbishing certain media reports on the agenda of the meeting. "Under Modi's leadership there is an accountable government. All ministers sit once in a month
and we do an exercise of accountability on our own. The progress of the budget announcements made by the central government in the last three years were discussed," the Minister of
State for Environment, Forests and Climate Change said at a function. He said what we have achieved on Thursday was really an exercise of accountability. Amid talks of a cabinet reshuffle,
Modi had reviewed the performance of various ministries on Thursday in spending budgetary allocations and implementing schemes in the past two years and asked his colleagues to ensure
schemes be tailored to benefit the masses.
