As the crucial phase for the Indian elections come closer... the demand to complete my ministerial nominees is reaching a crescendo. This week, join me as as take my pick for some of the more important and some newly formed ministries.
Minister for Dance & Drama -
My vote goes to the minister who puts her money where the foot is. No guesses here!!! Sushma Swaraj wins this portfolio feet...er hands down!!! Her graceful enactment of the Krishna Leela mesmerized one and all!!!
Minister for Intelligence & Police -
This is a newly created ministry, created to take into considerations the needs of the hour. As the country is threatened by forces communal and foreign; internal and international, there was a need for such a ministry. The person at the helm of affairs should have ground level expertise on running clandestine operations. My vote goes to him Sahib!!!
Minister for Finance -
Under normal circumstances, I would have gone with someone with solid academic credentials and astute sense of economics for this position but the last decade saw such decadence with this model in place that I did a review. My vote this time goes to austerity, savings, being frugal, running one INR 500/- across multiple campaigns. The nation is looking out for such talent. One who can at least be stingy in spending. Hence, my vote goes to Arvind Kejriwal.
Minister for Internet & Technology -
Given that Nandan Nilekani is in the fray this poll season and given his clean and impeccable record in public and private life, it is very unlikely that he will get any portfolio; whichever party comes to power. I offer a consolation gift with this newly created ministry.
Ministry for Cricket -
This is a newly constituted ministry. There was a need to have this ministry for a long time but due to lack of consensus, it was not implemented. The ministry of Cricket will have a sub ministry of Sports which will contain all other inconsequential games played in India. Ministry of Cricket will have a smaller, limited liability committee called BCCI. The BCCI will act as the Operations Unit for the Ministry of Cricket. A lot of consideration are being doled out to this ministry as this is supposed to be the cash cow for the Government. Who better to head this than the man who cannot be displaced till date?
Ministry for Defense -
Here the choice is quite interesting for me. The minister should be able to defend anything and everything - right from a war to mother nature's blunder or just some mother's blunder. I have Manish Tewari, Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Sanjay Jha. All 3 are in contest for this top post. Though none of them have any military background, the practical experience that they have gained is unbeatable. Who else can defend Rahul Gandhi or Diggy Raja each night on prime time news channels??? Pakistan or Taliban is just a small fry in comparison!!!!
Lastly, the Ministry for Planning -
Unfortunately this is in planning and once identified, the name of the selected minister will be made public.
Some ministries have been eliminated in the current Government as they were found to be highly out of context to the current scenario prevalent in the nation. Some of these include - Ministry for Coal, Ministry for Law and Order, Ministry for Mines, Ministry for Urban Development, Ministry for Telecom etc. All these will be out of the ambit of the Parliament and be under a common portfolio - Selection of Corrupt but Affluent MInistries.
