New Delhi, Jul 11 (IANS): The long-awaited cabinet reshuffle is likely to be held Tuesday evening, informed sources said.
Though there is no official announcement yet, the reshuffle is likely to take place at 5 p.m., the sources said. The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has already told the presidents's office to make the preparations, they added.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi Monday held consultations - the fourth in three weeks - with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh regarding the reshuffle.
Tuesday's reshuffle will be the second one of the 25-month United Progressive Alliance (UPA)-II government.
The reshuffle comes in the wake of a series of corruptions scams, which forced two ministers - A. Raja and Dayanidhi Maran - to quit office and tarnished the image of the UPA-II government.
