Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani are to meet on January 28 or January 29 to finalise the names for the Cabinet reshuffle.
The proposed reshuffle could take place before January 31 because Advani is travelling to the far East on that day.
Information Technology and Telecommunications Minister Pramod Mahajan met the Prime Minister today and given his deep involvement in the last reshuffle, reportedly also touched on this issue.
