Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
I was not particularly happy with Sadanand Gowda ji and RS Prasad ji, but looks like they will be retained in the cabinet.
If the grapevine is to be believed, even NaMo is not happy with these 2 but won't rock the boat.

Saw a snippet JD(U) will not join the cabinet. Any idea why?

Sush Ma may not be part of cabinet per republic tv

Do we have a list of portfolios yet for the ministers?Karan M wrote:Javdekar "i didn't change nuttin, no textbooks even" is also back.
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Is there any projection on who is getting what?
I suspect that with several ministers the BJP leadership has little choice, it is for optics, vote-banks, internal pressures and as yet unknown reasons. IMHO as long as key portfolios are kept with those with the capability and strength to continue down the path of progress, we will be alright. Defense, Finance and MHA are key, closely followed by Education/HRD, Energy, Industry, Transport and Railways. I know we always say MEA is very important, but that policy I believe is mostly dictated by the PMO and for domestic consumption it may not be that critical. For International relations, yes.
But I may be wrong here. We shall find out soon enough what is going to happen.

Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Pure speculation: any chance there will be a "Dipty PM" this time ?
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Picklu, what Shivsankar joining cabinet has to do with POK?
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
My guess is that Jaishankar will replace Sushma as EAM.
Rajnath, Gadkari, Sitaraman will probably keep their current jobs.
I think Amit may get finance, or switch with Goyal for railways.
Most of the others may continue in their current jobs. Will be interesting to see what the new people will get.
Allies: Sawant may replace Geete in the same job. JDU is not in the goremint. Will be interesting to see what AIADMK and other parties get.

Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
My hunch is that Jaishankar will get defense, not EA
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
That would be a waste of his talents IMHOY I Patel wrote:My hunch is that Jaishankar will get defense, not EA
I think NaMo needs him to be the face of Indian diplomacy. He is also good at hard negotiations
With Jaitley gone, Jaishankar can also fill the role of suave, smooth, English-speaking face of the cabinet

Thanks for the correction. Didn't see him in the minister area.
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Sounds like in cases like VK Singh and Jaishankar there may be concerns about conflict of interest due to their prior offices held.Kakkaji wrote:That would be a waste of his talents. etY I Patel wrote:My hunch is that Jaishankar will get defense, not EA
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Out of curiosity, did Jayant Sinha fall out of favor because of his own doing or foul mouth Y Sinha, or perhaps perception on too much western soft corner (20+ year residence in khan land)?srin wrote:No Suresh Prabhu or Rajyavardhan Rathore orGen VK Singhor Jayant Sinha

Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Cabinet will be expanded soon, I guess. Jayant Sinha will get it then. He has defended against his dad well. Unless his performance as a minister is bad, he will be inducted I guess.
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
I think AS will be a bad choice for FM. He should be in either Defense or Home.srin wrote:Republic TV. Watch live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX9_YKaQC9wRahul M wrote: source ?
Also, claiming that Amit Shah will be new FM
What is the status of Nirmala Sitharaman?
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Shah as FM or DM? No, please. Too vital to be left to a part time minister.
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Why is Rajyavardhan Rathore not there? He was doing well as sports minister.
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Shah cannot be President as one man one post.

Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Who will be President? Suni Deodhar or HBS?
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
One big surprise is S. Jaishankar. Still not able to figure out why he is elevated to such a high position!
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Saw somewhere that BJP President need to be a member for at least 15 years. So that probably rules out HBS.Supratik wrote:Who will be President? Suni Deodhar or HBS?

Belief he will manage foreign relations with suave demeanor and being what they expect rather than a Gadkari or Yogi type.

Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Met my father's cousin who retired from Pigeons Adda. He was the one who told me that Modi Shah will come back with some gr8 slog over hitting.
He gave a surprising tit bid that 60 PC of babudom is pro modi which was surprising to me. He apparently did Japa 3 hrs daily for Modi victory over the election season

I think his wife is in some oversight capacity with a foreign fund house. Remember even before Modi took over as PM in 2014 she was fund manager for one of Oppenheimer fund dedicated to India investments. Too much of conflict of interest. Also, he is one of the light weight MPs. Can't win a seat of his own. Nor is he a grassroots Sanghi worker.chanakyaa wrote:Out of curiosity, did Jayant Sinha fall out of favor because of his own doing or foul mouth Y Sinha, or perhaps perception on too much western soft corner (20+ year residence in khan land)?srin wrote:No Suresh Prabhu or Rajyavardhan Rathore orGen VK Singhor Jayant Sinha

Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Why do we need Jaishankar as EAM? Nirmala Sitaraman ji would have been perfect fit. Direct entry in CCS? Currently there are 2 open slots in CCS. That of Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj. One of the 2 will probably be taken by Amit Shah. Will the other one go to JaiShankar? Truly surprising decision if it happens.
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Maneka Gandhi and Suresh Prabhu are not there as well.
I think the facilitation of the Gaw-Rakshaks went against Jayant. NaMo doesn't want someone too confrontational in your face in administration, the same reason he shifted SI from HRD. He prefers someone who will quietly do the work under radar.

The below is from the chaiwala's panwala, so TIFWIW
He has some very interesting ideas about PoK and Baluchistan that resonates with Doval.
But unlike Doval, he just doesn't want to limit himself only causing trouble to Pak ; as a career diplomat, he wants to completely rectify that past mistake of ours.
And as someone recently mentioned, NaMo dreams of a parmanent solution of Kashmir.
Now make whatever you wish to make
