Smriti Irani, Anurag Thakur Among Sitting Ministers Likely to Get Dropped From Modi 3.0 Cabinet

As the formation of the Narendra Modi 3.0 cabinet draws near, speculation is rife about who will make the cut and who will be shown the door. According to sources, several sitting ministers, including Smriti Irani and Anurag Thakur, are likely to be dropped from the new government.

Smriti Irani

Irani, who currently serves as the Minister for Women and Child Development and Textiles, has been a vocal supporter of Prime Minister Modi. However, she has also been mired in several controversies, including her alleged involvement in the fake degree case. Sources say that she may be replaced by Maneka Gandhi, who lost her Lok Sabha seat in the recent elections.

Anurag Thakur

Thakur, the Minister for Information and Broadcasting, has been a vocal critic of the Congress party and its leaders. He has also been accused of inciting violence against minorities. Sources say that he may be replaced by Piyush Goyal, the former Minister of Railways.

Other Possible Dropouts

In addition to Irani and Thakur, several other ministers are also said to be at risk of being dropped from the Modi 3.0 cabinet. These include:

Hansraj Ahir, Minister for Chemical and Fertilizers
Giriraj Singh, Minister for Animal Husbandry
Faggan Singh Kulaste, Minister for Tribal Affairs
Alphons Kannanthanam, Minister for Tourism

New Entrants

While some ministers are likely to be dropped, the Modi 3.0 cabinet is also expected to see the induction of new faces. Some of the potential new entrants include:

Jyotiraditya Scindia, former Congress leader who joined the BJP before the elections
Supriya Sule, daughter of NCP chief Sharad Pawar
Jayant Chaudhary, leader of the Rashtriya Lok Dal
Nirmala Sitharaman, former Defense Minister

The final composition of the Modi 3.0 cabinet will be announced in the coming days. However, the speculation surrounding the dropping of certain ministers and the induction of new faces is likely to continue until the official announcement is made.
