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.
Perhaps the present crisis and trauma can force our country into something resembling that special moment we found in the sixties. Perhaps we can radically alter our business environment.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
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

Give finance either to Subramaniam Swamy or from opposition MANMOHAN SINGH….
The people of India have recognized the raw talent within the bjp and its leaders
