Smriti Irani, Anurag Thakur Among Ministers Dropped from Modi 3.0, Rupala Punished

In a major reshuffle of the Union cabinet, several ministers have been dropped from the new Modi 3.0 government. Among them are Smriti Irani, Anurag Thakur, and Parshottam Rupala.

Smriti Irani

Irani, who was the Minister of Women and Child Development in the previous government, has been dropped from the cabinet. She is known for her outspoken nature and her strong support for the government’s policies.

Anurag Thakur

Thakur, who was the Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs, has also been dropped from the cabinet. He is a former cricketer and a member of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Parshottam Rupala

Rupala, who was the Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, has been given a new portfolio as Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying. This is considered to be a demotion as the Ministry of Agriculture is seen as more prestigious.

Reasons for the Reshuffle

The reasons for the reshuffle are not yet clear, but it is speculated that the Prime Minister may have been unhappy with the performance of some ministers. The reshuffle also comes at a time when the BJP is facing challenges in several states, including Punjab, West Bengal, and Kerala.

Reactions to the Reshuffle

There have been mixed reactions to the reshuffle. Some have welcomed the move, saying that it will bring new blood into the government. Others have criticized the removal of experienced ministers like Irani and Thakur.

The reshuffle is likely to have a significant impact on the functioning of the government. It remains to be seen how the new ministers will perform in their new roles and whether the changes will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the government.
