I forget which one, but one of the editions of India Today (or was it Outlook?) advised a few cabinet changes to the Prime Minister. In a nutshell, this article summarized that, Mr. Natwar Singh is already gone and MEA deserves a full time minister. The Prime Minister is not very happy with the performance of the Finance Minister, but is happy with the performance of the Vice-Chairman of the Planning Commission. The article suggested that the current finance minister be made the Minister for External Affairs and the vice-chairman of the Planning Commission be made the new Finance Minister.
Good move. It is unlikely that the Prime Minister will take such a step.
But for a moment, let us imagine that this actually happens. Apropos to news report about the sad demise of the Power and Energy Minister, what should the Prime Minister do? Pick up Suresh Prabhu. Let him continue his party alliance. After all, not everyone in the government agrees to everything the party says and this will also give the NDA an advantage, where they can say, we are really all-inclusive. So, let Suresh Prabhu stay with Shiv Sena. But he is qualified to be appointed to either of the two posts that would be empty. He has already performed very well as Power and Energy Minister. He has the intelligence to perform well as a Vice-Chairman of the Planning Commission as well.
What would the Prime Minister do?
