Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Smriti Irani, and Anurag Thakur Exit Modi’s Cabinet

In the recent cabinet reshuffle, three prominent ministers from the Modi government, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Smriti Irani, and Anurag Thakur, were notable absentees. Here’s an overview of their departures:

Rajeev Chandrasekhar

Former Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology
Known for his expertise in technology and innovation
Was instrumental in the implementation of India’s Digital India initiative
Rumored to have been offered a non-cabinet position

Smriti Irani

Former Minister of Women and Child Development
Popular figure in the BJP and a key ally of Prime Minister Modi
Was considered a potential successor to Modi but may have fallen out of favor
Reportedly unhappy with the handling of her ministry

Anurag Thakur

Former Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs
Close associate of Modi and the BJP leadership
Known for his aggressive style and outspoken criticism of the opposition
May have been removed due to controversies surrounding his previous roles

The absence of these ministers from the new cabinet has raised questions about their future within the BJP and the Modi government. Some analysts believe their departure may have been influenced by performance issues, while others speculate that it could be a sign of a shift in the party’s priorities.

Regardless of the reasons, the departure of Chandrasekhar, Irani, and Thakur has created a void in the Modi government and will likely lead to changes in the party’s dynamics.
