Expanding Modi government.

Yesterday PM Narendra Modi’s cabinet got to see its first round of expansion which heightened up the number of ministers in the government to a whopping 66.

After forming the government at the center, many of the renowned faces of party were given more than one portfolio to handle and that’s why the government was very lean at the time, but now as time has passes, so have to the needs to enforce the law, order and responsibilities better and hence the Modi-Amit Shah duo has taken the wise step of soaring the number of members of the cabinet.

The portfolios for the new ministers were announced on the Sunday evening. The expansion of the government observed the inducting of 4 new cabinet ministers, 14 junior ministers and 3 with independent. The new ministers who were inducted are the former Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar and former NDA minister Suresh Prabhu, both of them known for their political and administrative acumen, former BJP General Secretary Jagat Prakash Nadda and former UPA minister Choudhary Birender Singh.

Former Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who is known for his exemplary work in his state’s upliftment, was given the fruit of his paradigm work and was given the crucial portfolio of Defense while on the other hand Suresh Prabhu who was a Shiv Sena nominee in Vajpayee Government and joined BJP on the same day of being opted out as the minister. Jagat Prakash Nadda, who has been a Modi-favorite and a lieutenant of Amit Shah was chosen as the Health minister while the former Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan was given the portfolio of Science and Technology. Birender Singh was given the charge of rural department.

BJP’s Rajiv Pratap Rudy who has been an eloquent spokesperson was also given the fruition of his work and he was elected as the minister of state with independent charge of skill development, a portfolio which matters a lot in the Modi government. While Jayant Sinha, son of Yashwant Singh, former Finance Minister, himself a Harvard and IIT graduate, was given the charge of ministry of state for finance. While Mahesh Sharma, was given the independent charge of Tourism and Bandary Dattartreya was given the charge of labour minister.

On the other hand, Sadanand Gowda was shifted from the ministry of Railways to that of law and justice.

Now the Modi government has swelled to the number of 66 and now with so many intelligent and abled ministers, what we have to see is whether the Modi government rises up to live up to people’s expectations or will it be a fiasco. Though there are humongous chances of it being successful but let’s see what happens next in the future.
