This is really refreshing. Most of them are highly educated. Good to see people like Nirmala Sitharaman, Dharmendra Pradhan and Prakash Javadekar (both from RSS), Sadananda Gowda, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, etc. A soldier in the form of V.K. Singh. There are 7 women ministers. Speaker would be a lady also. Kudos to Modi for giving more representation to women.

Not sure if Sushma Swaraj (68 yrs old) can handle the portfolio. Hope she does well. This position needs lot of diplomacy/talk apart from jet setting. Glad that Advani and MM Joshi are kept out. It would have been like MMS all over again. Speaking of MMS, saw him freely mingling and talking to the people. This is far cry from the tightly controlled environment he was in for 10 yrs (apart from reading from a script written by others during speeches). Did he ever had a press conference, Q&As? Can't remember one.

Harsimrat Kaur Badal should not have been in the ministry. This is nothing but dynastic rule of the Badals in Punjab. She is the DIL of the CM and wife of Deputy CM. How different are Badals from the Gandhis? Modi may not have a say in the name put forward by the allies.

We are all looking for good times for our country.
