Cabinet expansion CM''s prerogative: TN Minister Sengottaiyan

Business To Business, Chennai, 17th May 2026:   Tamil Nadu Finance Minister K A Sengottaiyan on Sunday said that Cabinet expansion was the CM’s prerogative and hinted that it could be carried out in a phased manner.
Speaking to reporters at Coimbatore airport, the senior TVK leader said, when asked about the scope for Cabinet expansion and the possibility of AIADMK rebels being included in the Council of Ministers led by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, that the practice of initially forming a small Cabinet has long been in vogue.
Sengottaiyan said that even late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa had initially inducted only seven ministers and later expanded her Cabinet in phases, indicating that a similar trend could be expected.
