Modi may want to tackle criticism of a 'weak bench strength' while ensuring an eclectic mix of veterans, fresh faces & representatives from key regions and allies.
In the centuries to come, economist Bibek Debroy's Mahabharata will attain the importance we attach to the texts of Shankara, Ramanuja, and Madhvacharya.

The decorated Naga officer from Manipur also served as envoy to Myanmar & Nagaland chief secy. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a museum dedicated to the Tawang hero Thursday.
Congress is silently acknowledging it over-read verdict of last general election. You can see it in easy concession to SP. It will likely be more reasonable in Maharashtra & Jharkhand.
Congress has talent but the out of power, BJP in power, but lack of talent including PM Modi. Modi and Shah won’t like some one who would overshadow them. Like Late TM CM Jayalalithaa, they would like to be surrounded nt by weak and mediocare yes (wo)men. This is because most of its years were of role of Opposition and to criticise. They were also good in creating violence while in opposition, no wonder we saw less violence excepting in states where they want to make inroads eg West Bengal
For Pete’s sake, are you telling me that they are Modi and Shah are weak. They are some of the finest administrators the country has had. HIs previous ministers have performed extremely well and taken confident calls to move the system ahead for the long run. Mr. Rathore in Sports, Mr. Jaitley for good or bad in Finance, Ms. Swaraj in her MEA, Sitharaman and Mr. Parrikar in defence have transformed stance of defence and procurement, Piyush Goyal a gold medalist CA is in the running for Finance, Suresh Prabhu did extremely well in Railways with the transformation and successful launches, Mr. Gadkari has given the best Ministerial performance for highways with the surge in development highest in recent times. There are talented people, but these ministers apart from Modi – Shah might not be as flamboyant or equally charismatic.
How can you say that there is shortage of talent? Sadhvi is such a terrific talent.
Quite right, she can be made home minister or Defence.
Talent is BJP’s Achilles’ heel and ideally Modi should break all barriers to build a competent team of selfless bureaucrats who can offer good counsel to their ministers and facilitate last mile delivery to citizens.
“Lack of talent” and “weak bench strengths” are fake narratives spread by the Lutyens gang. Modi’s cabinet in the last 5 years was the best performing cabinet of my life time. My only criticism was that Irani was not a good fit for human resources, and she did not last anyway in that position.
Ofcourse with especially Finance, External Affairs, Civil Aviation, HRD, Railways, Defence, Agriculture all being standout performances. After all how can you ignore such staggering successes like Demonitization, 1000+tweaks to GST post rollout, economic blockade of Nepal and its move further towards China, resignations of IIT and IIM director, the new Rafael deal which actually delayed acquisition of new aircraft by at least 3 years meanwhile necessitating a fresh process for fighter aircraft, massive demonstrations by farmer groups in MP and Maharashtra and so on. Truly great performance!!
Sadhvi as Defence Minister
