July 5, 2016Irani has been the most unworthy of the post of HRD minister. Her removal shows that some good sense has prevailed in the cabinet. As far as Jaitley's removal from the I&B ministry is concerned...I don't see much reason behind it.Ashutosh, Spokesperson of AAP told News18Smriti Irani put the govt and the nation into severe problems. The blame of being an anti-Dalit government is only because of her. The way she challenges in the parliament is not good. Thank god she's been demoted.KC Tyagi, Senior Leader from JDU told News 18Merit is being compromised in this reshuffle, caste is given more importance.Gaurav Bhatia, Spokesperson of SP told News 18
