Talking to reporters, Sawant said it was not for the minister to decide about it.
"There won't be any reshuffle in the cabinet. The minister (Lobo) never discussed the issue with me. It is not for the minister, but for the party to decide about the reshuffle," the chief minister said.
On Tuesday, Lobo, a BJP leader, had said that the cabinet reshuffle was needed as the state would go to polls in 2022.
