In a Nutshell:
- PM's adviser said the prime minister may reassign ministerial portfolios or appoint new advisers if he is dissatisfied with their performance.
- He said it is too early to say whether any reshuffle will happen before or after the government's first 180 days in office.
- The government is also forming a panel of lawyers to handle cyberbullying and misinformation related legal cases, with a gazette expected this week.
Why it Matters
The comments suggest the prime minister is keeping the option open to judge advisers and ministers by their performance instead of treating appointments as permanent. That signals the government wants room to adjust its leadership if it believes better governance requires changes.
Who it matters to
The statement raises expectations that performance, not position, will decide who stays in office. Any reshuffle should be based on transparent standards and measurable results so public confidence grows through accountability rather than speculation. Whether the prime minister will actually take the politically difficult step of reshuffling his own team now remains the real question.
