Discussion to send Keshav back to the organization

According to a report, AK Sharma may be made the Deputy Chief Minister. While there is talk of handing over the reins of Uttar Pradesh BJP to the current Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya. After the formation of the government on March 19, 2017, on August 22, 2019, the Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh expanded the cabinet to 56 members at that time.

Corona has caused the death of 3 ministers and as a rule the maximum number of ministers in the UP cabinet could be 60. During the first term of the cabinet, six independent ministers were sworn in. At present, the Yogi government has 23 cabinet ministers, nine independent ministers and 22 ministers of state. Thus, there are currently a total of 54 ministers in the UP government. Thus 6 ministerial posts are still vacant which can be increased as per the rule.
