Three for Joy: BJP Lauuds The Importance of State at PM Narendra Modi Government

Bhubaneswar: For the first time, a cabinet minister responsible for the train portfolio is from Odisha, a fact that many in the BJP highlights to showcase the interests of the state in the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In addition, there are three ministers from the state in the middle, up from the two because Modi took over in 2014, another reason for BJP leaders to feel happy.
Before Ashwini Vaishnaw became the train minister in the cabinet reshuffle Wednesday, Odisha had previously had two state ministers for the train – Bhakta Charan Das and Kanhu Lenka.
State President BJP Samir Mohanty said the allocation of railways, communication and the Ministry of Information Technology to Vaishnaw, who had extensive experience as an administrator, showed fashionable means business and appreciated performance.
“Odisha will be very superior with Vaishnaw on a helmet,” said Mohanty.
The Head of the State BJP also felt the prime minister had given the role of Dharmendra Pradhan by assigning him the crucial education ministry.
“The implementation of the recent national education policy, the Priority Project for the Modi Government, now lies in Pradhan.
The sustainable faith that was noticed by him was also reflected in the fact that he had been given allegations of the Ministry of Skills Development too, a post he had had Hold for several years in the first period of the Government of Modi, “Mohanty said.
Former BJP President Suresh Pujari said Odisha had never received this much attention that had been under Modi.
However, the opinion was divided into BJP and elsewhere did Pradhan really get promotions since he was transferred from the Ministries and Steel Ministries to the Ministry of Education.
Many leaders say Vaishnaw is appointed as a train minister because of his expertise as technocrats and experience as administrators, something similar to the appointment of Jaisankar as an external minister.
They felt Pradhan continued to be a party-owned fence in Odisha.
But his enumerators claimed there was a strong political message to Pradhan in Vaishnaw’s promise.
However, political observers, feel there is no signal like that.
“Even though the train will be considered more important as a service, I don’t think this in any way that reduces the position of Pradhan because it has been given the Ministry of Education which will be an important area to be considered with new educational policies in the pipeline.
Politically, it continues to be a face Most prominent in Odisha, “said Asima Sahu, a professor of political science at Ravenshaw University.
Pradhan and Vaishnaw separate, Bishweswar Tudu joined the Modi Government as State Minister for tribal and Jal Shakti.
