Ministers ke bhi portfolio badalte hai
Naye naye saanche main dhalte hai
Ek ministry aati hain, ek ministry jaati hain
Banti kahani nayi
Kyunki Smriti Irani kabhi education minister thi...
It wasn’t a very ‘Mangal’ day for Smriti Irani, who was shunted out of the Human Resource Development Ministry to the Textile Ministry. Irani had woven herself in controversies that made it difficult for the government to untangle itself from.
To everyone watching, this change in responsibilities is seen as a demotion, but we at The Quint think the Textile Ministry is actually best suited for her.
Sari Knowledge Hai!
Don’t feel ‘sari’ for Smriti, she is the best candidate for this portfolio. After all, there is a reason why Narendra Modi changed her ministry. The Prime Minister “judged her by her work” in ‘K’ serials and acknowledged how she became a household name. It’s time to make his chotti behen the darling of the country. Again!
Image Makeover
This new portfolio is an opportunity for Smriti to weave herself out of controversies and stitch her public image. Soon, she’ll become the country’s favourite bahu and beti.
Shudh Desi Designs
It’s time to revive our textile industry and make it fashionable with shudh desi prints. Forget animal prints and empire waistlines, ‘Spinderella’ will take it upon herself to promote Make in India and impress her sanghi’ mitron by reintroducing the traditional saffron Namavali print. And perhaps make saffron the dress code in IITs.
Back to Basics
The Textile Ministry will finally make Smriti Irani’s dream come true. The not so sought after department will give desh ki beti’ ample time not just to correct grammar on Twitter, but also to educate herself. Time to go back to Yale and become the first Textile Minister from Yale University.
Ya-lo trolls!
Flag Off!
Smriti floated the idea of hoisting the tricolour in all national varsities. Now, she’ll ‘flag off’ her ‘yarn strength’ by planting the pole of nationalism.
‘Jhanda uncha rahe humara’!
