The Narendra Modi government must be credited for choosing an outspoken Minister as the new Defence Minister. It’s a matter of great pride for all women in the country. Nirmala Sitharaman has made her mark in ‘Start Up India’, ‘Make in India’ and GST. One hopes that the government will now take steps towards enabling full-fledged women’s empowerment and act on the issue of reservation for women in Parliament.

The motive behind the recent cabinet reshuffle is said to have been to reward performers and show the door to underachievers. Since two-thirds of the term of the present government is already over with hardly any credible achievements to its credit, what can we expect in the remainder of its term, and by simply bringing in talent from outside its ranks? How will there be any visible change possible at this late stage after setting high and impossible expectations?
