| Modie’s Cabinet Expansion | | | Omkar Dattatray | 7/9/2021 12:19:15 AM |
| The expansion of the Modi cabinet on a massive scale is the first of its kind after the two year rule of the NDA government .The expansion was long over due as so many aspirants were waiting for long to be included in the council of ministers of Modi 2.0 government .All the factors were considered by the prime minister before embarking on the expansion of the cabinet .In all twelve ministers were asked to step down and they tendered their resignations and their resignations were accepted by the president.
The big wings were asked to step down and it was done after auditing their performance and therefore those ministers whose performance was not up to the mark were asked to tender their resignation and make room for the new faces .The way twelve ministers were asked to put forward their resignations reflects that Modi is a hard task master and he wants that his cabinet should work efficiently for implementing the programmes and policies of the government. In all twelve new ministers were inducted into the cabinet.
The new entrants are highly qualified and some holding PHD degrees. The technocrats and experienced faces were inducted in the council of ministers. The OBCs ,Dalits ,minorities ,weaker section and the women were given a chance in the cabinet. All the states were equally represented in the cabinet expansion. The political pundits opine that the expansion of the cabinet was done with the eye on the assembly elections because as many as five states are going to polls in next few months.
Therefore the polls of 2022 is the big factor and consideration in the cabinet reshuffle. In this cabinet expansion seven women candidates were given a chance .and in total 11 women are now there in the cabinet .Forty three new faces were given place in the council reshuffle. The youth were given representation in the new cabinet and also those possessing administrative skills were inducted in the cabinet. Some being retired IAS officers were inducted into the cabinet to give an efficiency push to the cabinet so that the policies and the programmes are properly implemented.
Thus planning and execution were given a thrust by way of the cabinet expansion. While the electoral interests were the fundamental considerations in the cabinet expansion, the representation to the various states was also an objective of the cabinet reshuffle. Seven ministers from UP were given a place in the cabinet and this in itself suggest that the expansion of the cabinet was done with an eye on the elections. In a democracy everything is weighed on the balance of the electoral dividends and so is this cabinet expansion.
As Modi means business and so he is not going to tolerate any dead wood in the cabinet and therefore efficient people were given a place in the cabinet. Those having experience and administrative acumen were included in the council of ministers to make room for the efficiency in the planning and execution of the works in the interests of the country. Some ministers were promoted and made cabinet ministers and the work load of the ministers was eased through this cabinet expansion. Modi has weighed all the pros and cones of the exercise before embarking upon the cabinet reshuffle and all the factors were well considered before the cabinet expansion .
This cabinet is the aggregate of all the good factors and is a balanced one so that it will prove its efficiency in the days ahead. Though the cabinet expansion was done with an eye on the coming elections but the fact that the ministers will contribute their might towards the well fare of the countrymen. The representation to the OBC, Dalits and the women and the weaker sections is a glaring point of the expansion of the cabinet and the expansion is aimed at the fair representation to all the sections of the society to pave way for good governance. Since the prime minister believes in the minimum government and maximum governance and so the cabinet expansion was carried on with this principle in view.
As the reshuffle of the cabinet is a routine exercise but this cabinet expansion is of extraordinary in nature as the ministers giving low performance were asked to make the room for the new entrants and those having experience and those who are technocrats were inducted into the cabinet so that there is no compromise on the efficiency and good governance.
The way Ravi Shanker Prasad, Prakash Javadaker, Dr. Harsh Vardan and others big wings were stripped of their portfolios is enough to suggest that the prime minister wants the business and delivery of the works and efficiency in the governance.
So the massive cabinet expansion is done with the aim of the efficiency and good governance in order to come to the expectation of the electorate which is the litmus test of the governments efficiency.
The Modi governments 2.0expansion of the cabinet is in fact an exercise in the efficiency so that the council of ministers will deliver efficiently in the interest of the countrymen.
Thus on the one hand the cabinet expansion aimed at the efficiency and on the other hand it also made it possible to give a fair representation to the weaker sections and far-flung areas of the country. In any case the present reshuffle is an exercise in efficiency and fair play so that the governance is carried on smoothly in the interest of the countrymen. |
