Manali: Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on May 18 said there will be reshuffle of his ministry "soon" in which Trinamool Congress leader Mamta Banerjee might be inducted alongwith some new faces.

He also said that the extra burden on some of the ministers will be lightened.

"Soon, there will be changes in the Council of Ministers. Some new ministers will be added. Some of the ministers are overburdened. Their burden will be lightened," he told reporters at the end of his six-day sojourn in Manali.

Asked whether Banerjee will be re-inducted, he said, "The possibility is there."

On when the exercise would be carried out, the Prime Minister said, "It will be at an auspicious moment."

Asked whether anyone from Himachal Pradesh will be taken into the government, Vajpayee said he could not reveal everything "right now".

There has been media speculation that former Union Minister Shanta Kumar, who hails from Himachal Pradesh, could get back into the government.
