Cabinet Reshuffle: What is 'P and N' formula


A simple 'P and N' formula – where 'P' stands for 'Positive and 'N' is 'Negative' – will decide who stays in Narendra Modi's council of ministers and who goes out.


Top government sources told Zee Media, a special excel sheet created by a senior BJP leader contains all the names of ministers currently a part of the government.


The crucial part of this excel sheet is the column marked – 'P and N'.


In front of every minister's name, a 'P' or 'N' denomination has been placed.


The excel sheet already has been presented to BJP president Amit Shah and PM Modi. The duo will take the final call on who remains in the cabinet and who exits.
