Before the Cabinet expansion at the Centre, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia apparently went to see the Prime Minister in Delhi twice — this was after a message from Amit Shah. But she was told about Modi’s extremely busy schedule and was explained that she would not be able to meet the Prime Minister. Sources reveal that after this, Vasundhara met BJP President Amit Shah, and it is believed that Shah told her during the meeting that she was a big leader in the state and that now her role should be in national politics. Vasu didn’t give a reply to this and returned to Jaipur. It is worth mentioning that before this Shah had sent a list with the names of six Assembly members from Rajasthan through his close aide Bhupendra Yadav. These were the names of those who the Modi-Shah duo wanted included in Vasundhara’s team of ministers. Most of these names were of those who were opposing Vasundhara, those she didn’t like one bit, and with good reason. But respecting the high command’s wishes, Vasundhara made even her arch rival Kiran Maheshwari also a part of her Cabinet. In return, Vasu sent two names for Central ministers — one was Jodhpur’s saffron leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and the second was of her son Dushyant Singh. But none of them got a post from Rajasthan quota; the ones who did get a berth in the Cabinet were those who were liked by Modi and Shah. This time before Modi started for his 10-day foreign tour, he gave time to Vasundhara to come meet him and the two politicians exchanged few words. The chill that has taken place between the two is there for all to see. During the conversation, Vasundhara let it slip that Modi should not take her for Raman Singh or Shivraj. Modi merely smiled, and his pursed lips indicated that he was not who talks, he merely does.

It is said that Narendra Modi is fairly upset with Krishnapal Gujjar. The group opposing Gujjar claims that because his son did not get a ticket for the Assembly elections from Tigaon in Faridabad, he was upset and worked against prominent party members during the elections. On the other hand, when the party emerged as the single-biggest party, he asked Sushma Swaraj to nominate him for the chief minister’s post. But the party high command did not even care to consider his name. What did happen, however, is that the party got a chance to analyse how much Gujjar had contributed to the party’s win. Upon the analysis, it was found that in his own home constituency of Mevla-Maharajpur, the BJP got a mere 16 votes and the party got a total of 146 votes from the seven villages that have a Gujjar majority. Modi wanted to show him the way out from the Cabinet, but sensing the importance of Gujjar votes in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, Modi has merely changed his department for now. Gujjar’s fate will be decided after the results of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections are out.

There is strife within the Yadav family due to Mulayam Singh Yadav’s youngest daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav’s raga Modi. The way Mulayam’s younger son Prateek Yadav’s wife Aparna has taken to public platforms and has openly praised Modi and sang paeans has infuriated UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. It is also believed that he has complained about it to his father. Netaji called for Aparna and has tried to make her see sense. Instead, Aparna questioned Netaji why he gave the seat he vacated from Mainpuri to Tej Narayan, instead of Prateek, who has never asked anything from him. It is believed that Netaji has assured Aparna that he is considering Prateek’s political career seriously and will reveal the details when the time is right. It is worth mentioning here that Prateek’s wife Aparna considers her competition to be with Akhilesh’s wife Dimple. Like her, Aparna is also from Uttarakhand, is the daughter of a journalist and she also likes to move around with a large entourage.

Most are discussing the reasons for Harshvardhan’s departure from the health ministry, saying it was because of his closeness to Sushma Swaraj, or that he may be the party’s face in the coming Delhi elections and so on. But the truth is that he cost him dearly to lock horns with a powerful medical mafia –Dr. Ketan Desai. Dr.Ketan Desai and the Medical Council of India have become synonymous with each other. So when Harshvardhan tried to look at and deal with the growing corruption at the MCI, it was like he had to deal with Desai. Desai gets along with several powerful ministers from the Modi government and his voice reaches the ears of Modi and Shah and maybe Harshvardhan forgot this reality in his excitement. At the same time, India’s powerful tobacco lobby was also hounding him because the minister would often mention a ban on tobacco. So the minute Harshvardhan’s department changed, the very next day stocks of a top cigarette manufacturing company soared.
