Modi 3.0: Anurag Thakur’s Reaction to Cabinet Exclusion

Keywords: Modi 3.0, Anurag Thakur, Cabinet Exclusion

Anurag Thakur, former Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs, has expressed his initial reaction after being dropped from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s newly sworn-in cabinet, popularly known as “Modi 3.0.”

In a statement, Thakur said, “May they do their work well and take the nation forward on the path of progress.” He added, “My best wishes to all the new ministers and I am confident that they will live up to the expectations of the people.”

Thakur, who is now a Member of Parliament for Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, had served in the previous Modi government since 2019. He was responsible for handling various aspects of economic policy, including the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

The exclusion of Thakur from the cabinet has raised some eyebrows, as he was considered a rising star within the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, it is important to note that cabinet reshuffles are common in Indian politics, and the reasons behind specific appointments and omissions are often not publicly disclosed.

Despite the setback, Thakur’s statement suggests that he remains committed to the BJP and the Prime Minister’s agenda. His words reflect a spirit of acceptance and support for the new government, even though he is no longer a part of it directly.

The formation of Modi 3.0 has been met with mixed reactions, with some political commentators praising the inclusion of new faces and others expressing concern over the exclusion of certain experienced ministers. It remains to be seen how the new cabinet will perform and whether it will be able to meet the high expectations set by the public.
