Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Cabinet reshuffle has shuffled out the “queen of controversies”, Smriti Irani, who was transferred from the ministry of human resources development to textiles. Ms Irani’s two-year tenure was full of controversies, from mishandling Rohith Vemula’s suicide to the controversy over appointments at IITs. Clearly, Ms Irani’s run-ins with the media and her petty squabbles on social media cost her the job.
