Minister of State for Labour and Employment Bandaru Dattatreya resigned from his post on Friday. Nirmala Sitharaman, the minister of state for commerce and industry, is also believed to have resigned.
These resignation comes a day after five other ministers, including Minister of State for Skill Development Rajiv Pratap Rudy, stepped down from their posts ahead of a Cabinet reshuffle, rumoured to be scheduled for Sunday.
New ministers are expected to be appointed before Prime Minister Narendra Modi leaves for the Brics Summit in China on Sunday.
