‘Most Liked Minister Ever’: When Twitter Thanked MEA Sushma Swaraj

Twitter had a meltdown earlier this year when Sushma Swaraj was kept out of Modi’s Cabinet.

Earlier this year on 30 May, outpourings of gratitude filled Twitter after Sushma Swaraj, who served as the External Affairs Minister during the first term of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government, was excluded from the Cabinet as the government returned for a second term.

Swaraj tweeted that she prayed that the Modi government in its second term functions with glory.

प्रधान मंत्री जी - आपने 5 वर्षों तक मुझे विदेश मंत्री के तौर पर देशवासियों और प्रवासी भारतीयों की सेवा करने का मौका दिया और पूरे कार्यकाल में व्यक्तिगत तौर पर भी बहुत सम्मान दिया. मैं आपके प्रति बहुत आभारी हूँ. हमारी सरकार बहुत यशस्विता से चले, प्रभु से मेरी यही प्रार्थना है.
