Manmohan Singh keeps up suspense on Cabinet reshuffle

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today kept the suspense alive on the the much-awaited reshuffle of the Union Cabinet.

"When I go back home I will apply my mind," Singh told reporters when asked about the next Cabinet re-shuffle.

 He was interacting with journalists while returning from a tour of Ethiopia and Tanzania.

When pressed further, the Prime Minister said he would not like to discuss matters like Cabinet reshuffle at a press conference.

"As far as Cabinet reshuffle is concerned, I don't like to discuss this matter in a press conference," he said.

After a minor re-shuffle of the Union Cabinet in January, the Prime Minister had said he would carry out a "more expansive exercise" after the Budget Session of Parliament.

In the January reshuffle, Singh did not drop any of the ministers but changed portfolios of several of them in order to give a fresh look to his government facing a series of scams.
