The first cabinet reshuffle ruffled a few feathers here and there but the message was loud and clear– nobody messes with bossman Narendra Modi. But we wondered why Modi with his magic wand didn’t cast his spell in Bollywood. He could have enrolled celebs in his cabinet to up the glam quotient of his party.
Chalo nevermind, may be we can suggest some names to the Prime Minister for future cabinet reshuffling. Agli baar, glamorous sarkar.
Salman Khan – Law Minister
Kyunki... bhai ko case pasand hai! How else do you expect a man to get away with drunk driving, mowing down human beings, shooting defenceless animals and being an abusive boyfriend? Salman knows the law better than anyone.
Asli kanoon ki pehchaan court mein nahi, zindagi mein hove hai!
Priyanka Chopra – Foreign Affairs Minister
The desi girl could become the India’s videsi face. The Incredible India ambassador could sing about exotic India in the Oscars and other high profile functions in her adopted country of choice.
Anupam Kher – I&B Minister
In the past, Anupam Kher has broadcast his views on everything from intolerance to Tanmay Bhatt’s infamous Tendulkar-Mangeshkar Snapchat. The actor parrots the official government line without even being part of the party.
Anurag Kashyap – Drug Control Officer (Ministry of Health)
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap knows his ganjeri, nasheri well. So deep is his fascination with the dark world of drugs that most of the ‘dope’ for his films comes from it. But it’s the last line of the opening note of Udta Punjab – “unite in the fight against drugs” – that could convince the government to pick Kashyap as the Drug Control Officer.
Vidya Balan – Rural Development Minister
Vidya Balan took it upon herself to ‘sanitise’ people’s ‘soch’ and urge them to build ‘sochalaye’ in rural homes. She could possibly flush out the country’s ‘Dirty Picture’ and change the government’s ‘soch’ if she were the Rural Development Minister.
‘Toh ab socho.’
